finish top of the podium in shanghai. welcome to the program thousands of people are protesting in barcelona against the jailing of naing council and separatist leaders for their role in last year's secession referendum well spain wants to put them on trial on rebellion charges council only has been in political limbo since spain took obits regional government following its independence declaration last year well something joins us live from the protest site in boston and so tell us what's been happening today sonia. down what's really been seen here is not just a pro independence macia but it's really been a coalition of different groups including pro independence supporters who are marching to complain against what they say repro a. of measures taken by spain by madrid in order to try and

clamp down on the situation here what you have here is not just independence supporters but you have trade unionists as well and the complaint has been that really the imprisonment of these catalan leaders is has has been way too strong a measure for that and the latest attempt to try and install one of the jail jailed m.p.'s joe to be sanchez as the president of the katherine republic would have required the supreme court to release judge the sonship from prison to be able to attend his investiture that was denied at the supremum court saying that he would have been in danger for more acts of rebellion as well so really this is a situation where the spanish government has been and certainly the judiciary from madrid has been really keen to strong arm and to show that it is in a position where it can try and control it to the method but judging from what we've seen here today in one of the main thoroughfares herron in catalonia there is

that there is still a lot of strong feeling care and if there were any doubts that that would have to calm them down well they they've been proved wrong and certainly people feel extremely strongly about that and so you're trying to push back against that some of this crisis has been dragging on now for some time what are the options to get this resolved. already this impasse is very few options there the. political solution as it was to try and get catalonia out of this situation where it's being directly ruled by madrid is to try and is to choose a president of catalonia well that has so far not proved fruitful a tool they will reject they tried with the previous presidents a couple of speed savant that was rejection of course he's in exile they tried with germany such as i mentioned earlier. if this keeps going on they only have until the end of may to be able to nominate a president of of catalonia of those regions catalonia if that fails then they will

have to go to local elections which is not something that big cats a lot of leadership want to see because that will just prolong this situation of limbo for them even more it will add more blocks in the road for them as it were a but the spanish government certainly the spanish judiciary have been very keen to state that what they have done was really an act of rebellion and it goes against the constitution of spain that's what they're calling for is a change for the entity of spain indeed this is been a tussle it has been going back and forth and certainly dialogue now with the current government in place is going to yield very few results for further catherine leadership at the moment and it's going to be quite complex to move on from that unless there is a willingness to dialogue from madrid side as well now the u.s. says it's locked and loaded for another military strike if the syrian government uses chemical weapons again without warning follows the launch of more than one hundred missiles by the u.k.

french and american forces they say were linked to syria's chemical weapons program a russian drafted resolution condemning the operation was voted on at the u.n. security council my coming has more from the united nations. this is the first time the council has met on syria this week a series of meetings that have served only to illustrate the massive divide on the issue because the secretary general's repeated calls for unity ignored they are all members to show restraint in these dangerous circumstances and to avoid any acts that could escalate matters and worsening the suffering of the syrian people the meeting was called by russia and its close ally in the council bolivia and outrage was expressed at the strikes took place even as international experts arrived in damascus to investigate whether or not a chemical attack actually took place or brings up in a gruesome news learned that the organizers of the aggression didn't even wait for the elementary establishment of facts by an international organization which is

authorized to do that they supposedly determine everything for themselves and you turman who was guilty u.k. ambassador argued the strikes were justified in terms of international law and in the representative from france was adamant that in the absence of diplomatic agreement the strikes were the only form of sanction against syria that remained and the us ambassador threatened further action i spoke to the president this morning and he said if the syrian regime uses this poisonous gas again the united states is a lot and loaded when our president draws a red line our president enforces the red line. like every resolution on syria introduced in the past week this one failed only russia bolivia and china voting in favor this well short of the nine votes that would have necessitated a veto from one of the permanent members despite

a hopelessly split security council france says it will introduce yet another resolution this one addressing the dismantling of a chemical weapons program in syria also aimed at forging a cease fire and a durable political solution for those seeking some straw to clutch in the diplomatic break away from the implacable confrontation informal session members of the council continue to informally even affectionately engage mike hanna al-jazeera united nations mean all inspectors from the international chemical weapons watchdog are in syria to investigate that suspected attack near the capital more than forty people died in duma in eastern guta eight days ago syrian government forces say they've now retaken the area as a last rebel fighters leave senator reports. it's being described as the biggest victory for syrian president bashar al assad since the start of the conflict

eastern huta has returned to state control after almost six years for weeks the enclave on the doorsteps of the capital damascus came under heavy fire hundreds of civilians were killed the pro-government alliance was also accused of using chemical weapons in the main town of duma before the last rebel group surrendered the organization for the prohibition of chemical weapons is sending a team to the site to investigate those claims the u.s. and its allies didn't wait for the organization to findings they said they had their own evidence and launched air strikes targeting syria's chemical weapons facilities. the strikes were not about threatening bashar assad told own power. since the bombings the message from the government has been one of defiance its army says it is preparing for more offensives the priority seems to be clearing the remaining territories outside government control near the capital. in southern

damascus a number of districts are under a government siege centered on yarmuk some neighborhoods there are controlled by eisel others by opposition fighters the rebels also control areas of countryside in the central province of homs territory in the western region close to the damascus homes highway parts of the southern province of daraa the northwestern province of idlib desert territory close to the iraqi jordan border elsewhere under the control of u.s. backed syrian democratic force rebels is the kurdish area while the region west of the euphrates river is under the control of turkey back to rebels the government's priority now is to clear areas around damascus or what it calls useful syria because the location is strategically so important russian and syrian military officers have been reaching out to some rebel factions who are already under siege giving them the choice to accept state rule or surrender if they don't want to face

an offensive. however there has been no offer of reconciliation there are warnings of a humanitarian disaster if there is an offensive there it's the most densely populated rebel held area some two million syrians live there. displaced from towns recaptured by the government iran a backer of the syrian government says it could be the next target. which is the border with jordan the government has been trying to penetrate rebel defenses for some time now. the u.s. led strikes have not changed anything and threats of further actions by western powers are confined to the use of chemical weapons the syrian government still has the upper hand and it's pushing ahead with its military solution to the conflict. beirut. syrians are divided over the military strikes in response to the.

government supporters call them illegal and the western allies but the opposition says the strikes don't go far enough and all attacks by the syrian government must be stopped. on turkey's southern border with syria. this is what's left of the birds a scientific research center targeted by missiles from the u.s. britain and france the site near the syrian capital damascus was among three alleged chemical weapons facilities hit during the joint operation the u.s. hopes the assad government got the message that its actions will not go unpunished syria outside. of the syrian state media was that of defiance in the face of what they called tripartite aggression. we did not sleep at night honestly we went to the streets to support the army and the air force struck down the missile. fire to have the thirty years war has divided opinion in the middle

east people came out in solidarity with the government in cities where their support. iran and hezbollah or there's high anti u.s. sentiment to the relief of the syrian government and its allies the operation was limited instead of a much discussed sustained attack the syrian government thanks its russian partners for the warning about the much anticipated strikes after days of tough rhetoric between u.s. and russia the syrian government had already evacuated military installations and cleared potential targets and allies of bashar al assad have been unequivocal in their support. he shared last night's strike that happened at dawn against syria is a crime i clearly announced that the us president the french president and the british prime minister are criminals and have committed a crime. those on the receiving end of the syrian government's attacks involved welcomed the military action and we support the american strike because we support everything that targets the syrian regime we know that this bombardment will not lead to the fall of the regime targets this criminal regime we are supporting

i think this is picked up chemical attack and duma last week predictably support the allies of the assad government and those who oppose it when russia denies the attack ever took place turkey says assad's actions must have consequences the engender just didn't follow the up it was unthinkable to leave all the attacks the regime has conducted an ant said that is why we welcome this operation because we can't tolerate what has happened in the perpetrator has to pay for it and the regime has to understand that this inhumane and lawless attack will not stay on. the syrian opposition backed the turkish president's call for an end to all kinds of attacks against civilians the u.s. britain and france that assad wasn't targeted the government forces and assets remain intact the intention they say was to force the assad government to stop using chemical weapons but according to a syrian opposition member the message that they seem to have received is that the assad government and its allies can continue their killings just not using chemical

weapons. other syria. meanwhile antiwar protesters marched outside the white house to condemn the airstrikes in syria they chanted hands off syria and call for peace demonstrators say they want the world to know not everybody in the u.s. backs military action. but some senators are accusing president trump of overstepping his authority with the strikes on syria ellen fisher has the details from washington. the question of legality still hangs over donald trump's decision to launch an assault in syria is certainly when james mattis who is the defense secretary was giving evidence of capitol hill and thursday he was asked several times under what authorization can the president possibly plan an attack on syria under the u.s. constitution it is for congress to declare war and they were suggesting that the president needed to seek their authorization or use matters when he gave his news conference at the pentagon late on friday night here in the u.s.

he said that the president was acting under article two of the constitution which gives him the right to take action to protect america's national interest well a number of senators will be asking the question on monday exactly what authorization did he think he was acting under and second we we know a number of pressure groups also raise the question of legality with one seeing how can you talk about president assad breaking international law and then trying to force him to follow international law by essentially breaking international law this is a question that is going to continue here in washington d.c. in the days and the weeks to come saudi king solomon says he rejects u.s. president donald trump's plan to move the american embassy to jerusalem it's one of several issues being discussed at the annual arab league summit in saudi arabia king solomon also spoke about what he called blatant interference from iran in arab affairs the two countries back opposing sides in the conflicts in syria and yemen.

a debate when investing in two regions in northern somalia the first is somaliland which declared independence from somalia nine hundred ninety one a move that has not been recognised internationally but in february the u.a.e. signed a thirty year deal to manage its bear report and last month it announced plans to set up a military base there in neighboring put land the u.a.e. secured another deal to develop and manage the bus also port abu dhabi's been training an anti-piracy coast guard for years but somalia's government has reacted strongly to what it calls infringement of its sovereignty and unity last month it passed a law banning a de by based company that runs the ports from operating in the country. without driving as a security consultant on the horn of africa and somalia specialist with a think tank sat he says there's a bigger backstory to the mogadishu airport standoff. it's it's escalating between the somali federal government and the u.a.e. and the government was was making

that cold is there for us where winter still sits and we've had an awful lot of snow falling in the twin cities thirty four centimeters. they get about six in april and that snow has not finished that will carry on for the next twenty four hours and this line of potential tornadoes is still there though moving slowly east . thank you for that lots more still to come on al-jazeera including a call for venezuela's president to restore democracy at an upcoming elections plus . i'm largely in manchester where scientists are using the one the material known as grapheme to help find a solution to the world's water crisis on a sport will find out which team has made an early move in the n.b.a. playoffs or not stay with us. when the winning the will of the people hinges on the mass media state p.r. machine it's going to overdrive. but just who is influencing.
