for say coming up growing concerns that kenya could see another day of violence as well forties postponing the presidential election rerun in opposition strongholds over fears for the safety of election officials. i'm headed home free thanks for joining me the sex cattle and president has called for quote democratic opposition to the takeover offer catalonia by madrid in an address has reached him all vowed to pursue his struggle for what he said or to be a free country he said the spanish government's decision to sack him was in a just a minute we were just out was off to madrid took control of the catalan government and removed some of its top officials. well earlier i spoke to w. pilled in madrid and journalist martin roberts in madrid charlotte was in barcelona

or excuse me i started by asking how strong a statement khan is predictable made you know barcelona a little earlier. this is the same that everybody here behind me has been waiting for all day there's been a great deal of uncertainty about exactly what it is that is happening here who is in charge now. though his statement was sure it was very clear he said he wants to carry on building this free and democratic nation that he says has been proclaimed as for how strong it was it was relatively restrained he could come out and to encourage people to take to the streets and defend council ennia instead he said that he wanted a peaceful and democratic resistance exactly what that means we're not quite sure of the moments now this really marks a very extraordinary situation because it essentially means that he is not recognizing any of the actions that madrid has taken and that's really reflected on

the streets here as well when you talk to people depending on who you are people are respecting that madrid is now in charge they've imposed direct rule others say that they are still waiting to hear exactly what is next move is so some ambiguity directly off to that statement martin what reaction can we expect from madrid. well first of all the final approach to mark presenting yourself as president of. the council and you know people suggest a very very lame to. our on top of the charges which apparently already in. progress in for terry gross addition. we're expecting those judges to grow on the other hand it's too early for madrid to a major response i think will become trust. him on speech was very very short on

detail he did nothing to show that he's actually running the show were his on the other hand he might have this crisis partly because at least he has a plan it's a very detailed he's got a national and international consensus behind him to try and make it work. and it's just it's very detail i don't. yes isn't it here is he both at least we know roughly once they don't have a get together mommy mommy has been very short on details. and potentially a serious situation unfolding day for want charlotte back over to you then because this really has been an extraordinary twenty four hours in boston i know how people there reacting to events. not just twenty four hours have been i don't know it's been an extraordinary few weeks there's been so many ups and downs and twists and turns in this process last night and the declaration of independence drew thousands to this celebrating what they say was the birth of the new nation of

course there are many people who are against it not something that really has to be emphasized in this discussion that half of the people here according to polls are not in favor of independence and they really have not got what they want let's hold out of this process even if you're against independence it doesn't necessarily mean that you're probably madrid or for the autonomy of this region being taken away is there are a lot of frustrated people there a lot of very nervous people as well wondering about what's going to happen next whether this is going to lead to unrest on the streets i just want to let you take a listen to some of the people we've been talking to. things can't go on as they are here in catalonia the pro independence people want to throw in the towel a bunch of times it's been said until you go public. now the central government wants to put things back on track. your nya male someone just by no i love sustain it but we're different and we live together so i would like us to

live peacefully side by side and our own wanes. sirena letting them in in this one i don't know for independent or not i think everyone's feeling the. west scared of the consequences this might have. but we're waiting to see what will happen so as you know there's a real fear that this could start to get very out of hand on the streets of boston as perhaps both sides start to respond to what's happened here over the last couple of days people here haven't forgotten the events of the first that was the date of the referendum when police from spain were arguably quite heavy handed in trying to stop people going to the polls and people here on the streets that we've spoken to really fear that they could be repeated out over the coming days i was. in boston and journalist most robots in madrid speaking to me a little now in kenya

a little limbo continues officials have again postponed a rerun of the presidential elections scheduled in several areas considered strongholds of the opposition the cost of the divisive vote is becoming ever more apparent at least nine people have been killed in clashes between protesters and police since day. picking through the ruins of shops and nairobi is covering where a neighborhood. rival gangs from different ethnic groups clashed here friday night at least one person was killed this woman recounted her escape from a burning building. so then she held up when we fled we michelle group the demanded we show them our hands they wanted to see if we had nothing because from voting to decide whether to beat. some shopkeepers in coming where i have decided to move their goods to safer locations in case violence breaks out again. uncertainty has

gripped kenya voters in four western counties still haven't been able to cast ballots it's uncertain now whether polls there will ever open that could result in the rerun election being declared invalid and forced yet another election that's a prospect few welcome. the people being beaten if this. election goes to bed the most a little things to do the destruction the. destruction and more violence like yesterday in nairobi unable to hold a presidential election that everybody recognizes kenya appears dangerously close to the brink of chaos. and that's going to g.w. correspondent catherine a wonder in the kenyan capital nairobi now good to see there catherine give us a sense of the atmosphere there what people across the country is saying about the

fact that this electoral limbo is still dragging on. well there is an air of uncertainty but there's also something good to report this conversation around what is causing this particular issue that's going on in the country so you're seeing kenyans now having conversations not talking about credible elections talking about political processes talking about laws which is good we're also seeing kenyans coming up and picking up pieces from from destruction from last night there was violence in various pockets or various perceived nasa strongholds and we're seeing an emergence of outlawed sex known as. he was also a vest sleeve mentioned in the two thousand and seven election they have propped up the head again today and you have people saying that they came in and they were attacking people checking if they had voted or not in these allegations from the

people who would experiencing these incidences last night so right now the country is kind of all waiting for. chairman wolf to make an announcement we expected the vote counting to end at six point five million votes but so far we're at seven million votes and a lot of kenyans are questioning where that number came from given that the voter turnout that we watched live on t.v. every citizen was quite low so that's that's basically where we are at this point all right dialogue so still some uncertainty at the moment and legally the country has until tuesday to conduct the postponed rerun in the four counties where voting did not take place how likely is it that that will actually happen catherine. it's highly unlikely highly unlikely in the fact that for now a lot of kenyans feel that this election was a sham. the truth be told and the they feel that it needs to be

discussed and it needs to be corrected. the people in the various counties where the elections were postponed say that they will not vote and less main opposition leader raul makes an announcement and he's expected to make an announcement on monday so right now it's just basically limbo but it you can see that there's some kind of calm which which is a good sign. catherine on one day reporting from nairobi thank you for that update now on the other stories making news around the world u.s. defense secretary jim mattis has warned that north korea would face a quote massive military response if pyongyang ever used its nuclear weapons tensions have been running high on the korean peninsula the north conducted its sixth nuclear test last month and tested missiles the regime claims are capable of reaching the u.s. mainland thailand's new budget along cohen has led

munich believing is only a matter of time before that changes. three hundred twenty minutes straight household and bus and now they're preparing to do it all over again might see came the closest they've ever come to beating by and rejuvenated and has even. the players will rest and recover. and i also i think being in our own stadium with the support of our fans gives the strength of. and in these conditions we'll be able to overcome our tiredness and can put by on our the kind of team to bask too long in their success especially since like seeker one of the main pretenders to that point is league a thriving. come and you can only briefly feel happy after a win but now we're really pumped up for the next game because for us of course there are lots of things with thinking about and we're focused on the task at hand and i don't think we have time to celebrate right now. in light seeking their
