this is the news from berlin. is arrested many thousands of protesters take to the streets of the capital and are confronted by security forces. police on the european arrest warrant after he entered the country. and during the congo wrote in the single the first direct commercial flight between australia and europe touches down in london after seventeen long. kicks off with

the surprise of the australian. there are a. champion lewis hamilton to a dramatic victory. welcome to the program former. has been arrested in germany on a european war and pushed him was detained by police after he crossed into germany by car from denmark now the former president had left finland to avoid arrest and on friday a spanish court reactivated warrants for the arrest of a number of catalan separatist leader as an advisor to push along said he was returning to belgium where he planned to cooperate with authorities which along went into exile last year in the wake of an independence referendum. the deputy

state prosecuting germany's north and state big hole stein had this to say about their arrest warrant. for you to warrant has been issued we received a request and it's been looked into i'm going to say saying it's precondition is we will farther a say whether extradition can be granted the step before that however is the detention order and we're seeing if we can proceed with the tunnel if you will including. well i'm now joined in studio by our correspondent. and in boston no no we do have journalist stephen who's standing by for us but i want to begin brief you this is a drama that's had first seen unfold at the german border can you fill us in on the details that's right well this was a man was traveling back to belgium where he's been living for the past five months he was in finland so he was on route back to brussels and when he was detained

after stopping at a petrol station it's believed main motorway crosses the border from denmark into northern germany in the state of. he was arrested by german authorities know media reports in spain are saying that in fact what happened was that spanish authorities tipped off their german colleagues because they had been following him from finland so when he crossed into germany he was arrested there and he is now going to be spending the night at a prison interest in college don and will be appearing in front of a judge on monday morning so events that started right here in germany but are unfolding quite rapidly in barcelona i want to come to you stephen now we're seeing protest as clashing with police in boston i can you give us a sense of what's been happening there. well there are two there is very she's going through right now one the larger world first protested outside the offices of

the european commission and then moved almost arrived at the job of the consulate here a smaller group are trying to get police called to the delegation of the spanish government this minister offices here but there really is room to berkeley's. clash that's for clashes and you might think we were proved again to see the. world. in almost entirely peaceful movement and people a certain number are very frustrated now saying that's not a peace now we need to take some order to her she all right i just want to direct of us to the live pictures which they've been seeing from buffalo in which i showing but protest us going head to head with police or rather in a standoff think it's been a standoff but pub aback to you here why is this happening now is the question i mean college football has been traveling to various countries in europe you're

absolutely right now let's not forget that got us which one as i said before has been outside of spain for the past five months he's been based in brussels and basically what happened was he was the charges that are brought against catalyst which the man among them is you know sedition and rebellion rebellion doesn't actually exist in the belgian penal code so this is where things get a little bit complicated if he were to have been arrested in belgium when that arrest warrant was issued back five months ago and extradited back to spain he could have only been arrested under lesser charges meaning that when he was back in spain the spanish authorities would be able to proceed with the what they believe are the most important of the charges being brought against them is put them on which is rebellion and sedition so what happened was those the arrest warrant was then suspended meaning that he wasn't going to be or. did in belgium and now we can sort of almost jump to a conclusion we can say that neither he was in germany where there is a very similar charge which is

a high treason. this now arrest warrant was reactivated on friday and we've seen that several members of this set of government back at the end of twenty seventeen were pushing for independence were arrested in spain and now we're seeing the kind of person one has been arrested in germany now we have to wait and see whether he is actually extradited back to spain i spoke to a legal expert earlier today who said that she would be very shocked if those charges weren't brought against them and the normal time frame is between fifteen days if they're on contested charges and forty days if there contest the charges for his extradition to take place so right i just want to go back to stephen who is in buffalo ny let's not forget that there's another side to this what if any reaction had there been from unionists for example of the government in madrid. this is. certainly very reaction to the reaction has come from

the socialist opposition leader person. who. remember the leader of the center right as you. said basically your. morals are resistant and so this was the end of his for actually he would be brought to justice so i mean this is not. gleeful news and. so the spanish side is generally not a lot of noise a lot of comment journalists saving budge and joining us from buffalo and right here in studio publicly n.e.'s thank you both. let's now look at some of the other stories that are making news around the world at least four people are dead after a car bomb exploded in the somali capital mogadishu the explosion took place near the parliament building and police say the bomb was detonated at a checkpoint after soldiers intercepted and stopped

book that it's still a miracle for him and that's very important to us since upon the state of israel that he's here he told the german israeli relations they america but of course he also has he will meet with holocaust survivors here as well but he also has political meetings here in israel but also with the palestinian president mahmoud abbas and so very care gender from the german foreign minister but what about well what does the netanyahu government expect from this visit. one thing on top of the agenda for both sides is the nuclear deal with iran because we understand that u.s. president will decide by mid may. that's also a line that we hear a lot here. for prime minister netanyahu that's a very important topic the nuclear deal was seen by him as a as a political failure that this happened so you will tell also the foreign minister

that sees it with much concern what's going on in syria right now that iran is. strengthening its base in syria close to the israeli border near the occupied israeli golan heights and that is of very much concern to. two netanyahu tanya came out joining us from jerusalem thank you the first direct commercial flight between australia and europe has landed in london increased fuel efficiency of a new generation of an alliance has made ultra long haul routes possible but it also reflects a shift in the aviation market away from stop overs in favor of direct connections . when the australian flag carrier qantas first flew the so-called kinder route to britain after the second world war it took four days and seven stopovers taking off in perth the new nonstop service operated by a boeing seven eight seven dreamliner covered the nearly fifteen thousand
