a three day presidential election president al c.c. is all but certain to win but how big will the turnout be for a ballot many of us to share. the load on terry martin good to have you with us. spain's most wanted fugitive is spent the night in a german jail and he's likely to stay there a little while longer the german court says it will take at least a week to decide whether to extradite collis pushed them all back to spain catalan separatist leader was apprehended sunday while traveling through germany on route to belgium he's been in self-imposed exile sought by spanish authorities for his role in catalonia as an authorized independence vote well the arrest has angered many cattle lines in barcelona street protests erupted and some ninety people have been injured in clashes between protesters and security forces. police

on one side demonstrators on the other they faced off long into the night in boston . outright surged into violence. thousands of catalans took to the streets to protest the arrest of the former president placed crackdown on protesters dozens were wounded. as demonstrations hated up even the speaker of the catalan palm and who supports a protest is code for come. on but officials i share with you the feeling of indignation regarding the situation in this 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 when for example sometimes. some two thousand kilometers north of boston it was on

the side of this german highway the coast which from what was detained on sunday night he had just crossed the di nice german border on his way to belgium. but his journey ended in a german gyle cell. of into something 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 saying it's precondition is we will farther a sas whether extradition can be granted a step before that however is the detention order and we're seeing if we can proceed with this if you will include i'm just. shortly off to prison once detention tens of thousands of supporters rallied in front of the german consulate in. their message germany should stay out of spain's campaign against the catalan independence movement one of them when they touch a democratically elected representatives they touch an entire people and will keep on protesting peacefully as we've always done. but supporters and opponents of preached are more and now waiting to see how events in germany will play out that

would decide to fight the former catalan president. of war let's bring in our chief political correspondent melinda crane she's following this story from our parliamentary studio as well and what was pushed them up detained here in germany and not in other european countries like belgium or has been residing or finland or has been visiting. given that this newest twist in the story does put germany in a rather sensitive position that is a question a lot of people here are asking and that the answer is both legal and political so legally a country from which extradition is requested is only obliged to carry that out if its own criminal code includes a crime that is broadly comparable to the one that the person is charged with so the main charge against mr put in this case is rebellion and belgium doesn't have such a crime so that's why mr padilla was able to reside there comfortably for several

months and why the spanish authorities even took the unusual step of suspending the arrest warrant during that time so the warrant was reactivated on friday when they heard that mr put jamal was traveling he traveled to finland it does have a comparable crime to rebellion so does denmark which mr padilla also transited so why did it was it only in germany that he was finally detained that is a question about which we can only speculate but one possibility might be that perhaps banish authorities actually wanted it to happen here they are said to have a very close cooperation with german legal and judicial authorities in areas like this one relating to extraditions and they are said also to view germany as a very reliable partner so that may be one reason that they passed on this information perhaps specifically with a german the rest of my but we don't know that for sure that is speculation ok mr starting with germany's legal position for a moment how likely is it that will be extradited. well germany does not have the

crime of rebellion but it does have a crime of high treason that is said to be quite comparable legal experts here are saying in fact these two crimes are comparable enough that a judge could quite logically and probably should conclude that he has to extradite mr put because this is not about mr guilt it is simply about determining that the requirements for extradition are met under european union law and that is the requirement a comparable crime so most people believe that a court here is likely to decide that extradition has to go forward though it may take some time to get there however mr bush was lawyer is still saying he thinks there is a case to be made that the german legal requirements aren't really fulfilled by this case because mr bush will never called for the use of violence so that is certainly one issue that will be debated in court here thank you so much melinda

chief political correspondent well in a crane. russian investigators say it appears blocked fire exits could have contributed to the high death toll in a massive fire at a shopping center in siberia sixty four people were killed the blaze broke out on the fourth floor of the complex in the coal mining city of. i witnesses say they saw people jumping from windows to escape the flames. smoke darkens the sky. in central russia a city with many grey days ahead. the winter cherry was full of sunday 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. in the afternoon we received information about smoke in the shopping mall on the fourth floor were children

his authority with nearly sixty million eligible voters the former general is hoping his supporters will march to the polling stations and there's plenty of praise for the incumbent. in libya and hopefully everyone will vote for president el-sisi where he believes achieve great success for example if you don't like a new administrative cabinet you do you know there is one rival candidate whose son was staff and he's not a household name and perhaps surprisingly he himself admits that he admires sisi. cannot admit that an ass and the people will decide who the best candidate is the voters who go to the polls which to us what the soon will know the result is at them how and how difficult. many in the opposition believe muso 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 others with drew from the race
