10:03 am
especially unfair context i would like to call for calm and responsibility because the response from catalans must be democratic civic unifying and peaceful as always one percent of scotland's. some two thousand kilometers north of boston it was on the side of this german highway that cars preached to mark was arrested on sunday he had just crossed the dine is german border on his way to belgium. but his journey ended in a german gyle cell shall we have lots of interest on the official who for you to pee in a rush warrant has been issued we received a request and it's been looked into i'm going to say sing it preconditions we will farther assess whether extradition can be granted a step before that however is the detention order and we're seeing if we can proceed with thoughts on all of us if you will include him. shortly after preach to months arrest tens of thousands of supporters rallied in front of the german consulate in barcelona. their message germany should stay out of. anscombe pyne
10:04 am
against the catalan independence movement one of them when they touch a democratically elected representatives they touch an entire people and we'll keep an protesting peacefully as we've always done. by supporters and opponents of preached to more and now waiting to see how events in germany will play out they'll decide to fight before mccaslin president. and we have team coverage this morning we are joined here in the studio by our chief political correspondent and a crane and we also have the view from the ground there in barcelona where journalists seat in bergen is standing by for us welcome to both of you a very good morning and melinda what a day carlos pushed him on has ahead for him i mean he also had. you know a pretty interesting night there in a prison in the northern northern part of germany what will happen is his court hearing today well he will actually have one preliminary essentially paperwork hearing where he will appear before a district court judge simply for purposes of confirming his identity that one is
10:05 am
pretty pretty short that is supposedly going to take place early in the afternoon from what we have heard from authorities there in the northern state of slate's we host on the more important proceeding occurs at the state the upper state court of . that was initially said to be planned for today we have now d.w. has just spoken to the legal authorities there they're telling us that may not occur actually until tomorrow it is supposed to occur quickly under european union law and that is the hearing at which a judge then will determine whether the arrest warrant must be carried out whether in fact he must be deported under e.u. law under a very specific set of conditions back to spain as spain is requesting ok so the process could be a little bit longer than initially thought stephen you know people there in barcelona probably waiting with bated breath to see what the decision here in germany is and in fact we saw a massive clashes there overnight just walk us through how angry people all are
10:06 am
there in barcelona over pushed a monster tension i mean is this just a small segment of the population or is this really widespread. well a revolving people going green for a long burger think this will have reached the big friday where judge probably already. of the supreme court basically ruled that all of the people currently and so from both states or the ones who are out on bail should those. the independence movement is supported by forty to forty four percent of the population but i think even if people who are not in favor of the president it's hard streamlet indignant is great at the government's handling of this from the start which is basically the government has refused to handle it as a political issue and has basically hidden behind the courts who've been pulling the strings although most people feel over there is a very weak separation of judicial and executive powers and spirit. and melinda
10:07 am
what will the court likely do think that is the big question now legally speaking the proceedings for extradition are fairly straightforward a court no matter where in the in the european union must determine whether the charges that have been brought in the country that is requesting extradition have a parallel in the country that would be delivering on extradition namely the german court will have to see whether the main charge against which to mob that charge of rebellion whether there is a parallel under the german legal system for such a crime there is not exactly the same thing there is no charge of rebellion under german law but there is high treason and it is fairly comparable to a court does not have to rule on whether mr pushed was actually guilty of this it simply has to rule about whether those two charges those two crimes are parallel
10:08 am
are comparable and if it finds they are it is required by european union law to extradite him within sixty days so fairly straightforward legally we're hearing german legal experts saying most likely occur. would have to decide in favor of extradition but the fact is there are enormous political consequences or implications to this as we see from those demonstrations as we feet see from the fact that several german opposition parties are saying he should not be extradited because he never actually employed violence is violence for purposes of rebellion and they say that is such an integral part of the german description of the crime of high treason that in fact the german court should decide against it and complicating it all is the fact that some media reporting that mr pritchett among make even apply for asylum in germany that is a proceeding that takes a great deal longer to adjudicate therefore probably a court would have to go first on the extradition request but that makes the
10:09 am
problem all the more complex in terms of the politics is not cut and dry by any stretch of the imagination and you know even just walk us through the possible scenarios there in barcelona if pushed him on were indeed extradited. well i imagine that there will be much more protests or to point at which is brought back into the country and in every injury and. beyond i mean it's clear that what the government wants above all is to silence him because he's been in belgium with her says to media and social media he's been a stone in the shoe for the madrid government over these past four months and clearly if he's silenced then they hope to smother the entire independence movement through legal processes by jones of this will this will happen i think the simply throughout this whole process going back for six years everything the major government has done has provoked more support for the independence movement i mean
10:10 am
although you know there is still quite as a strong divide in those in favor of those against. to use very own cheat or writeable correspondent belinda crane joining us here in the studio to share legal expertise we know that you are a lawyer and also with the view from the field there in barcelona on site for us journalist stephen bergen thank you so much to both of you for joining us. well now in other news a fire in a shopping center in siberia has claimed fifty six lives officials say that sixteen people are still missing the blaze broke out on the fourth floor of a complex in the coal mining city of. eyewitnesses saying that they saw people jumping for windows to escape those flames. smoke darkens the skies of kemet are all vote in central russia a city with many gray days ahead. of the winter cherry mold was full of sunday
10:11 am
shoppers when a fire broke out over one hundred people escaped the blaze some of them leaping from the windows. but dozens died inside and more are still unaccounted for children among them. not to get it but to be let in for ten in the afternoon we received information about smoke in the shopping mall on the fourth floor were children playing rooms and cinemas were situated you know what you know. it took hundreds of firefighters most of the day to bring the massive blaze under control not before over a one thousand square meters of the building had been destroyed. reinforcements have been flown in to help search for the remains of the victims and to help their relatives cope with the loss of national to push on the who is the rescuers have gas masks to be able to work in a toxic environment and some are not but we're ready to work at night but we don't
10:12 am
think we're taking special lights with us that would provide psychologists are accompanying the rescue group to help the elected population from the city and because of the blaze remains are known investigators are now checking the shopping mall safety documentation and may bring criminal charges against anyone responsible for the tragedy. is that if they check now some other stories that have been making news around the world adult film star stormy daniels says that she was threatened to keep silent about an alleged sexual encounter with u.s. president donald trump in a highly anticipated interview she claimed that she faced intimidation tactics aimed at ensuring her silence. saudi forces intercepted seven yemeni weapon missiles late on sunday one man was killed two others injured from falling shrapnel in the capital riyadh it was the first death in the city during the saudi led coalition's three year military campaign in yemen. and more than one hundred nigerian school children kidnapped by militants boko who were released last week of
10:13 am
returned to their home village adopt the children who were all girls except one boy were abducted from their school in february nigeria's government has acknowledged what they call back channel negotiations with boko haram but insists that no ransom money was paid polls have opened in egypt as the country's presidential election that's been branded as a sham gets underway there's little doubt that abdel fattah el-sisi will win a second term the incumbent president is facing no real competition with his only challenger being one of his supporters now authorities hope that enough voters will turn out to lead the elections and credibility. sisi with and without sunglasses the tough former general or the mild mannered father of egypt but while the variety of election post is launched the selection of candidates is not across egypt there's plenty of praise for the leader likely to be
10:14 am
returned to power the hopefully everyone will vote for president el-sisi or the research of great success for example if you don't bring a new administrative capital. there's one rival candidate most of mustafa mosa he's not a household name and perhaps surprisingly he himself admits he had maya's l.c.c. . got out of it that the us and the people will decide who the best candidate is the voters who go to the polls which to us what the soon we'll know the result is. and. many in the opposition believe most is only in the race to create the appearance of democracy at first there were more candidates but some were imprisoned after they announced their candidacy while others withdrew from the race often under great pressure. of. the government's worry is that if there were more real candidates there would have to be debates
10:15 am
about real issues. but of the main. i would know yet. egyptian media is similarly one sided there's even a hotline where citizens can report journalists who criticize the government. l.c.c. promised a heavy hand against terrorists earlier this month there was another bomb attack in alexandria on the sin i peninsula the egyptian army is busy fighting your hardest insurgency. l.c.c. supporters point to his focus on economic stability the all important tourism sector has been recovering under his rule. this week we will see if he has fashioned the presidential election as a referendum on his leadership he's hoping for a high turnout to legitimize his room. let's get more on the election journalist korean hari is standing by he is covering the elections in egypt's capital cairo welcome to you karim you know if you would describe these elections as free and
10:16 am
fair but what is the state of democracy in the country. well basically three may be the problem is of course. competition. in this election we have one candidate that is also himself before him as a c.c. friend so nobody is really taking it too serious so we have a country rested and many people hating. the i.c.c. saying that he brought big security to this country he also created a lot of infrastructure projects he brought the christians and muslims together and since take that but of course this also a big proposition so what we don't know here is. the opposition has nobody to vote for so the big issue here for the digits you see. in this election is going to be turnout that says how many people in the next three days turn out in the city and
10:17 am
what do you anticipate because i mean you know you've been in cairo for quite a while you gauge the mood there on the streets you think that people will vote. that's that's really really very difficult to say of course the government is trying everything to mobilize people they can the fact that we have elections the last three days shows how much they are trying to bring people to vote but it's you at the end we're not off the street this really is of course we have no organized opposition at the moment all of the other candidates that they were intimidated or arrested we have the biggest opposition party brotherhood basically it is spent as a terrorist group those young people activists who used to seven years ago where to the square they have won this is through from paul it's expected to private life so
10:18 am
this scene is very which one sided right now so turnout is really the size. of the latest from cairo where voting is getting underway and this three day election for president thank you. the main opposition leader vying for the presidency in sierra leone has told you in an exclusive interview that he will call people to action if a runoff election is postponed yulia mother bio one the first voting round earlier this month but failed to receive a high enough majority to win outright the presidential runoff poll is scheduled for tuesday election fraud has interfere on sunday supporters of modern bio took to the streets in freetown ahead of the court's decision and now his him for his part he says that his supporters will publicly object if the court rules to delay two states vote and will bring you more on that exclusive interview and through high
10:19 am
court's decision about five years and everything is that we have international observers here party a lot of money has been spent for this particular location and we see no reason why it should be postponed. the only reason that is there is because the president wants to postpone. nor tears it it took all the people of this country to come out and the friend peace security and the democracy we have fought for i didn't fight for democracy alone this whole nation for it for it and i think we should rise up just to make sure that democracy is maintained in this country. we'll bring you more on that exclusive interview and the high court's decision on whether to allow tuesday's vote throughout the course of the day but in the meantime you're watching news and still to come on this program where does australian cricket go after one of the biggest scandals to hit the sport in years the captain is clinging to his job. and the markets are also clinton to some hope monica jones is here with

10:22 am
a similar deal for germany. ever interesting the other south koreans were able to sort this out with the u.s. they will be able to export a seventy percent of their ever traded volume with the u.s. without paying terrorists at the same time u.s. car companies will be able to export the double amount of u.s. cars to south korea already last year trying announced that the trade relationship with the asian country would need to be negotiated again because in his opinion south korea is importing to much steel from china that is produced there with damping price that has peter i admire the new economy minister is in favor others are saying that it might be the wrong message for the u.s. it would be maybe consider from the u.s. that very protectionist measures would be already except except that in europe are identical in frankfurt thank you so much for this. meanwhile china's foreign

10:26 am
captain to be fired. it's here in cape town that a strain in cricket reached an all time low the third test match in their tour of south africa will be remembered for one thing only cheating that's when cameron bancroft was caught trying to illegally damage the ball that can change the way it moves in the air potentially giving a straight bowlers an advantage bancroft and captain steve smith were forced to admit their guilt in a press conference last year an opportunity to potentially use an infusion type. granules from the right from the rough patches on the wicket in and try to. just change the change the ball commission the leadership knew about it and we spoke about lunch and. i'm not proud of what's happened. you know it's not within the spirit of the game smith has been suspended for one match
