i'll always start with some breaking news the former president of the catalonia region in spain has been detained in germany called a sponge a month left catalonia after it's a session bid in october an international arrest warrant issued for put you want and six other cattle and leaders who went abroad who was visiting finland on saturday to get the latest on this now from paul brennan who joins us live from london so paul what more do we know about this. well quite a fast moving story and you'll know the background in fact you've given some of the background their colors praised him on the form of cattle and president has been living in brussels in belgium since last november after he fled spanish justice. spanish would almost certainly have imprisoned him denied him bail as part of their investigation into that independence referendum that took place last october several of his colleagues in the council and parliaments have been put behind bars

as priest a man and several of his colleagues though managed to escape and flee spain and go elsewhere this weekend though the spanish supreme court issued an international arrest warrant for colors proved to maher and these other fugitive politicians who are no longer in spain that was on friday at the time carlos preached a moment was on a visit to finland had been invited by finnish parliamentarians and he was coming back it appears by road he seems to be avoiding travel perhaps for obvious reasons he was coming from finland through denmark and crossing the german border there when he was spotted by german police and appears to have been detained the news of his detention has come in and in social media from a tweet from his lawyer who said his followers the president has been detained in germany when he crossed the border from denmark on the way to belgium the treatment

has been correct at all time procedures being correct he's now in a police station legal defense has already been activated the president was heading to belgium to catch up at the disposal of belgian justice so he's in custody in germany and it will be now for the germans on the puts them on defense team to decide whether he's now going to be sent to spain and how long that process might take yeah i mean that is the big question isn't it poor we expecting a protracted legal battle here in the next few days. well he's always said that he would he would cooperate with the belgian or thora t.e.'s let's see if he has a separate with the belgian or thora ts let's see if he has the same sentiment towards the german authorities i mean much of this is procedural of course we if this channel will remember the case of ahmed monsoor back in two thousand and fifteen al-jazeera arabic journalist who was detained in germany on an international arrest warrant issued by egypt and after just

a couple of days less than two days actually he was released in the end because the german government intervened and they said although the paperwork appeared correct politically they did not want to send commitments or back to egypt because in the germans words they weren't convinced that the rule of law in germany in egypt was robust enough they felt it was a politically motivated prosecution i'm not sure that they can make the pre-stimulus defense could make the same case about spain it's a european union partner the legal system in spain significantly stronger i would suggest than in egypt significantly more independent anyway and so i think the most lawyers are going to have difficulty arguing that he won't get a fair trial or that somehow the rule of law the in spain is not robust enough but that said please do more has always resisted any attempt by spain to get him back so we'll see indeed we will pour brennan lie for us there in london thank you as

the three rebel factions that controlled the rebel enclave agreed to surrender what was left of its stronghold in the southern profit up to seven thousand people fighters their family members and opposition activists who don't want to live under the government or are afraid to. we will leave but one day we will return they have managed to silence the revolution but will not. i will return to liberate our land and the revolution will return to repeatedly asked the international community for help but they didn't do anything it's very difficult time for us but we will return thousands more were bussed out of another rebel pocket in eastern huta the town of harassed which surrendered on wednesday they are syria's newly displaced but. they used every kind of weapon against us in an eastern water in general families who were hiding in underground shelters were killed in the bombardment the civil defense was not able to retrieve their bodies

they refused to i'll tell you where i went right into the ground six feet deep. that. protesters came from across the country to show their support many here have been touched by the plague of gun violence and of long campaigned for change i just think it would be great if they enacted certain gun regulation that kept weapons of war off of our streets i have a young son who's about to be in can their garden and so making sure that the places that he goes actually safe and secure is among the speakers eleven year old niamh wilder has pledged to take political action at such a young age resonated with many my things and i might still be eleven and we might still be in elementary school but we know we know life is needful for everyone and we know what is right and not. was five we also know that we stand in the shadow of the capitol and we know that we have seven

u.k. there was a minute's silence and a lion outside the new u.s. embassy in london and in france families gathered near the eiffel tower in paris to urge us politicians to protect children not guns but the pot despite the emotions seen in washington and so many other cities on saturday gun control remains a controversial issue in the u.s. steven rogers is a campaign advisor to president trump and is a form of police officer he says americans have the constitutional right to own guns the problem we face here is that this is a best effort to eliminate guns from law abiding citizens it might thirty eight years as a police officer who investigated violent crimes i've always heard from the who would always tell me if i had a weapon to protect myself i would have not had so it's a fish losing my very life so there should be reasonable regulations but i think

there's enough on the books now for us to follow we have a constitutional right to bear arms now i would say reasonable regulations f. background checks make sure people who are deemed as mentally ill don't get those who have their hands on those weapons the bump stocks be eliminated that's fine but took time out right a constitutional amendment. a thousands of people have rallied across australia calling for better treatment of asylum seekers australia sends people who are arrived by boat to offshore prisons in papua new guinea or now really to deter refugees the united nations and human rights groups have criticised the policy is inhumane and you thomas was at a march in sydney. there are protests rallies happening in town two cities right across australia on sunday but the one about three thousand people so far in sydney and in melbourne are likely to be the biggest people here say that the refugees who've been sent by australia to mass on the proper new guinea and snow route many

of whom have now been there for almost five years have suffered enough and should be brought to australia they also think that australia's refugee policies also hinged with racism earlier this week peter dutton the immigration minister suggested that white south african farmers who are being kicked off their farms could perhaps be given refugee status here in australia this for a man who has spent his career it seems to people here keeping other refugees in other places out this is what from the refugee action coalition said to me earlier i think the role of the demonstrations we're seeing around the nation today is precisely to say pete adoption is not legitimate he's not legitimate in saying that you know white south africans who haven't asked us for help a more deserving of australian asylum than the countless numbers of people fleeing war zones who have there are thousands of people here and thousands more in melbourne and in other places across australia but in the great scheme of things these are still relatively small protests australia's media rarely reports more

than a tiny bit on these sorts of events and in terms of politics both the governing liberal party and the opposition labor party broadly agree on the tough policies and that's why not much looks likely to change. still ahead on our visit our crowds demonstrate in tel aviv against the israeli government's playing to deport thousands of africa more. bus lush mountain ranges but no water why afghans are struggling to secure one of life's most precious resources. hello there the weather is quite quiet over the northern parts of asia at the moment plenty of us as seeing some fine settled weather is just a few bits and pieces of cloud that are affecting us in the northern parts of japan
