plus kenya sees more clashes between protesters and police after authorities postpone the presidential election a rerun in opposition strongholds fearing the safety i will watch an official's. welcome to the show my name sarah harman it's good to have you with us sacked cattle on president carlos push mont has called for quote democratic opposition to the takeover of catalonia by madrid an address you said the spanish government's decision to dismiss him was illegitimate and valid to pursue a struggle for what he said ought to be a free country and actions have left supporters of independence outraged. here in catalonia some towns have lowered the spanish and e.u. flags a symbolic move after the region declared its independence the flags are gone as

well from the town hall of on the outskirts of barcelona. i don't know if we'll be independent or not and i think we all feel the same here are afraid of what the consequences might be and it. was then what i love spain but we're different and we can't live together. and some things i wish we could live in peace side by side. but each going our own way. one thing however is certain carlos preached that man and his regional government have been suspended but he doesn't seem to have accepted that fact. people are throwing our desire is to continue to fulfill our democratic mandate at the same time will strive for maximum stability and peace but we understand the logical difficulties that this era brings with it an era like no other that our

country has lived through. for the first time in spanish history article one fifty five of the constitution has been enacted that means that now catalonia is under direct rule from madrid spanish vice president soraya signs that is in charge her first step to fire the chiefs of catalonia as regional police force if necessary she could fire the entire force and replace them with the federal police from madrid. many spaniards outside of catalonia support her course of action once more thousands of protesters first banish unity gathered in madrid. independence for catalonia it will mean an economic territorial and cultural loss for spain because i believe that great achievements can only be accomplished with unity cohesion and solidarity. but on one question it seems there is unity the fight over catalan independence should remain peaceful. from all this i'm joined now in

barcelona by our correspondent charlotte also pill and by a journalist martin roberts in madrid welcome to you both charlotte first to you how strong a statement did push to make. it was very strong he made clear that he still believed that he was the man in charge here and yes there was some uncertainty to people here on the streets there really know what to make of it you've got these jewel narratives going on at the moment spain has said it is imposing direct rule that it is taking charge of institutions is already removed the police chief from power and yet one doesn't seem to recognize any of this he is still saying that he wants to push ahead with independence and that he has a mandate to do so in his statement he did say that he wanted calm he didn't want anybody to take to the streets and start rioting it appears he as he was making

that statement he was actually in the running and he was spotted actually in a restaurant having a glass of wine say perhaps that adds to this narrative that he's really not trying to inflame the situation. but of course it can get out of hand very quickly there is a lot of tensions here on the streets today with people waiting to see what happens next because that is what is so uncertain here at the moment what's going to happen for example when spain when madrid tries to stop him from saying that he's in charge anything could happen and that he faces a rest possibly as soon as monday all right let's find out what is going to happen next martin what do you think we can expect next from madrid. well according to state television two interesting things. one of them is.

concrete details of how intense. the attorney general for her. to file the charges to bring. against the organizers at yesterday's independent vote in the house alone on the rebellion now that's very seriously because the provisional ira prison sentence of up to thirty years although we get it hasn't been used since so andrew bolt. so it's governments in ninety nine he won't which was quickly flossie one of the first measure. the constitutional court will receive you make a preliminary ruling outlawing. friday's independence folks now as with everything else about this the question is how we're going to actually implement tell you what i'm going to show it so there could indeed be some resistance you know sort of pacific sort of our courts don't you know anybody tries to arrest him or any deed

any other officials do you know we do see financings on the twentieth of september where the police under orders from across it hasn't actually tried to arrest people who are who they organise the referendum on the first of october. the organizers of the protests now actually in jail again you know we're in a legal minefield here nobody seems to know quite what's going to happen next so there's a lot of expectations. in the group expectation and uncertainty in madrid let's go back to barcelona for a second charlotte this has been an extraordinary twenty four hours on top of an already extraordinary few weeks how many people there are reacting you were telling us earlier about some tensions is that the overriding feeling there one of tension . yes or they've been samy twists and turns in this process seventy ups and downs with people it really has been an emotional roller coaster

a lot of people here are telling me that what they really fear is a repeat as martin was talking about what happened on october first when this place for madrid where keys are being very handy heavy handed with people going to the polls they've all been saying that they can very much for see that happening again i was so crucial to point out about this situation is depending on who you ask and it really is extraordinary some people say that they think that spain is is in charge other people madrid is still in charge other people are saying that they still recognize him on in fact when he was in people were chanting president president recent polls that were taken still prove that it is a fifty fifty divide and whether people are forgetting that independence or against independence for those who are against it who are expecting to march tomorrow this really is a very frustrating situation because just just because you are against independence doesn't mean that you're in favor of madrid taking control people here really are

very defensive of their autonomy their culture their language and any movement for madrid to take charge is going to be taken very badly in this. morning from barcelona and in a dread martin roberts thanks to both of. at least fourteen people have been killed in coordinated attacks in somalia's capital mogadishu and the death toll is likely to rise and details are still emerging but a car packed with explosives was rammed into a hotel close to the presidential palace then armed militants stormed the building shortly afterwards another car bomb detonated nearby fighting is still underway at the hotel which is popular with politicians and government employees al-shabaab extremist group has claimed responsibility. where kenya is once again a country in political limbo officials have postponed a rerun of the presidential election scheduled in several areas considered to be opposition strongholds the cost of this divisive vote is also becoming ever more

thirty five percent rival gangs from different ethnic groups crashed in many areas as government to ponens disrupted voting this woman managed to escape from a burning building but ran into more trouble. so eventually end up when we fled we met your group the demanded we showed them our hands they wanted to see if we had our fingers from voting to decide whether to beat. struggling to run a credible election officials say more than three thousand polling stations still haven't submitted their results. the current rerun was supposed to defuse tensions on the street if this poll is also declared invalid more violence looks inevitable . here's a look now at some of the other stories making news around the world indictments are expected in u.s. special counsel robert muller's investigation into alleged russian meddling in the u.s. presidential election u.s.
