a long government against madrid's crackdown. for more on the story let's now go to barcelona and to our correspondent. who is standing by charlotte how have people reacted in catalonia to the judge's decision to detain eight former members of the government. well among supporters of this independence movement there is a lot of anger we had large numbers of people on the streets last night protesting against this announcement that these nine. former ministers have now went to went to prison we are seeing more strikes and protests planned for the coming days this isn't something that people are going to give up on easily ofter rule they've been saying to us because pushing on is still their presidents they say that he was elected democratically and that he's simply followed through with what he was elected to do and that is to see the path of independence people here particularly
2:03 pm
stunned by the fact that these people were sent to prison so quickly it was just a matter of days before they found themselves behind bars people who knew that long term they face up to thirty years in prison but no one expected it to happen this fast it must be said though that there are those who are against this independence movement to be viewing what's happened over the last few days rather differently we know that it's more than half of the people here in catalonia are against this independence declaration that we saw last week and would have preferred to have seen parliamentary elections which we're now heading to understand the twenty first we were looking at pictures as wonderful ministers funk of you know who was released why won't the others not release as well. he's a business the reason he was released now on the other eight one was because he didn't take part in the vote for independence last friday he resigned ahead of the votes of the judges is viewing his offenses rather differently to the other eight
2:04 pm
who is still behind bars he posted bail of fifty thousand euros the other eight why and given that option if they were denied bail now what's crucial about him is that he may well stand to be leader of the party in those elections on december twenty first whether or not that was part of a calculated plan by these independent leaders we don't know it could have been that they wanted to have someone who wasn't behind bars when it came to contesting that election whatever the reason he is a free man today and he certainly wants to watch over the next couple of weeks and shot what are people in buffalo a thing about decision to stay on and ruffles. people especially on the his supporters a split there are some who say that they are very concerned that he's in brussels they're concerned that he is essentially being from here as a captain it leaving a sinking ship the vast majority that we've spoken to though are still behind him
2:05 pm
one hundred percent they say this is all part of a plan that they want him to meet with european leaders and get their support for this movement and that ultimately he doesn't belong in prison they want to see the man who they consider here are free and continuing with this independence movement sharjah symbol in barcelona thank you very much for that update. catalonia is a move for independence being just a watched by separatist movements in other parts of the wild in dodger for example a group called the indigenous people of be off is calling for an independent state in the south east of the country it's an only demand that sparked a bloody civil war fifty years ago our reporter visited the home of the independence movement leader nom de cano who went missing in september his disappearance has fueled fears of new violence this is a statue of nnamdi kanu with its arms chopped off the real number two has

i.p.o. be even more determined to carry on. asking for a friend them is not asking for or want to be free people can achieve that is through referendum. and that's what my little sort of oblivion today the government has rejected the separatists demands it says an independence referendum would be unconstitutional and dangerous. the information minister says all the governors in the region the same opinion. of you have responsibility to the people. to the encouraging the kind of hard to titian that leads to loss of life fear of an escalating conflict is growing among the population nigerians in the south east of the country have long felt sidelined and neglected but many do not sympathize with the radical approach of the b. offering separatists there's an increasingly harsh exchange of words on both sides

president donald trump is said to embark on his first official tour of asia tensions over north korea's nuclear threat look likely to overshadow the trip trumps national security team has said north korea would be returned to a list of countries the u.s. believes sponsors terrorism meanwhile on thursday the u.s. flew supersonic bombers over the korean peninsula for military exercises north korea has condemned the move saying america is seeking to ignite nuclear war journalist stephen barrett joins me now from the south korean capital so steven what do you make of these u.s. bombers flying over the korean peninsula is this being viewed there as a show of force before trump's arrival in the region. this is not exactly routine these types are some of the force are they do take place from time to time but they're never random they're always they always have some kind of objective in mind and i think probably the dominant perceptional review these are meant as
2:10 pm
a sole force to show north korea extends to all of us military power before trump visits the us is still the dominant military power and age you know and every once in a while they make a move like this to remind north korea of that and perhaps to as a kind of precursor to trump's arrival here in korea next week but as we all know north korea objects very strongly to these types of sort of forest taking place so close to its territory and they accuse the united states of being the real aggressor in the region and the u.s. of being the possible force that could cause war over here that in fact let us think that north korean state agency described as a incurably mentally deranged tell us more about their reaction to this latest move as you said north korea is very unhappy. they are and if you look really closely at north korean propaganda what they always say that sometimes gets lost in the western media reports they do not tend to make over threats their regressive
2:11 pm
language is always if we are attacked if you dare breach our territory if you imprint on our sovereignty so in a way these types of really heavy shows of u.s. military force kind of play into north korean propaganda in that they allowed the north koreans to fifty us as the aggressor and to depict the u.s. as this force that is risking war and here also in south korea i think there's long been this sense that north korea if left to their own devices couldn't manage a situation here and prevent war but trying to be seen as a kind of wild card he still mostly untested on the world stage and nobody's really sure what he might do and so for that reason i think a lot of people will be watching his upcoming visit to asia as its first and of course containing north korea and its nuclear ambitions is very important but the trumpet ministration can we expect any new developments during this visit on this issue i think any new developments will probably be
2:12 pm
unlikely is not likely that it's during their meeting trump and south korean president will come up with any real new agreements or anything usually what they do with these types of summits is they affirm their alliance and know and have meetings and still say that they're on the same page and they genuinely do agree on the urgency of addressing north korea's growing nuclear arsenal but as to whether or not they'll come out of this meeting with any tangible changes that's less than likely we can expect a lot of photo opportunities and a lot of very cooperative language about how the two sides are on the same page with. general steven blum we can still thank you very much for that assessment. delegates are gathering in the german city of bond for a conference that will work out ways to implement the paris climate change accord almost two hundred nations find the accord to reduce greenhouse gas emissions world wide starting in two thousand and twenty farge emissions are considered

meeting aims to flesh out the terms of the twenty fifteen paris climate agreement almost all countries have signed the accord only the u.s. has announced it is pulling out the deal requires that temperatures do not climb by more than two degrees it requires all countries to set their own climate goals it paves the way for billions in aid especially for poor countries but one will be a working conference without big decisions like those made in paris. that's true it's a nice at first it sounds pretty unspectacular but what we agreed on in paris in december two thousand and fifteen is like a new worldwide law and something like that needs rules of interpretation that's also legal. but donald trump stated intention to withdraw from the paris accord has cast a shadow over these talks so far other countries do not share his views. the three major storms in the caribbean combined with the u.s. backing out of the paris agreement have increased the feeling of unity among the
