>> this is the debate is coming to you live from berlin. a spanish judge is issuing an international arrest warrant the ousted count on leader. he has said he will define any effect at extradition. the supporters take to the streets to protest spain's handling of the crisis. also coming up, donald trump sets off on his first official ship to asia, how will he handle the nuclear threat posed by north korea? this may look like just another orangutan, but it isn't. we will tell you why it is different, and why it's under threat. that's coming up. >> i'm sarah harmon, welcome to

the show. a judge in spain has asked belgium to arrest oppose cadwalader carlos bush law after he ignored a court order to return to spain for questioning. the judge refused a request, testifying via video link. in barcelona, tens of thousands have protested against the imprisonment of other members of the dismissed regional government in catalonia. >> tens of thousands once again on the streets of the capital on capital. the detention of leaders of the independence movement and oppose catalytic government between without bail. charges of rebellion and sedition. another x minister spent thursday night in jail, but was freed on friday after posting bail.

i want to ask the authority of the states and prime minister rajoy to take the initiative. we will not result this through the course -- the courts, we will only resolve this through politics. after dissolving the catalan parliament when it declared independence last month, the spanish government is putting its hopes on new elections ordered for december 21. >> these elections are for all the political parties, they can make their office to catalan society. the government hopes for an end to deterioration in the social occasion and economic framework. >> the course of protests against the detention of former government officials is growing. for now, there's still no prospect of any return to normality. >> barbara lee phil is in brussels.

a european arrest warrant for the x m later, what does this mean? >> it means that a set procedure is beginning to roll down. within the next hours, the judge will check the arrest warrants, but that's just a technical matter, whether it's signed or there is a date. then, it will be entered into the information system. the european system to guard the borders. then the judge will instruct the police to pick up carlos, or he might present himself with the police forces voluntarily. then, the judge has 34 hours to hear carlos puts them on. he can then state his objections against extradition to spain. we know he wants to do that, this whole thing will be dealt with the first instance by the

court after another 14 days. then there is a chance for another plea to the second instance of the next court. there will be court hearings. in the end, he has the right to appeal to the highest court in belgium. all of this can last up to six weeks. sarah: a long, complicated legal process has been set in motion. have we seen any reactions from the eu or brussels? >> there is no reaction from the eu, it insists that this remains a spanish affair, an internal political problem of spain that needs to be solved by spain. no further comments of the belgian government. it does not say anything, either because this is not a matter for governments, this is a judicial process between the two sides. the government cannot not and

must not interfere, we have heard some statements by politicians who said they emphasize more or less with the cause of carlos. they really cannot influence the process. sarah: thank you. our correspondent charlotte is in barcelona, how are people reacting to this news that former got along later now has a warrant out for his arrest? >> this protest began as a demonstration against the detention of eight dismissed catalan leaders. people tell me it has turned into a protest against madrid's attempt to crush the independence movement as a whole. as news started to trickle in that the european arrest warrant had been issued, the parts of him as our president. people here believe he is being

punished, for following through on exactly what he was elected to do. they say this movement is democratic and just. they are deeply concerned by the news that another group of dismissed politicians also now look closer to being behind bars. sarah: let's go back to those members that have been arrested. one has been released on bail, what can you tell us about that? >> that's the business minister, he has paid 50,000 euros. it is believed the reason he was released was that he step down before that independence vote. that's why it's taught he's being treated differently. the other eight men and women who are behind bars this evening face up to 30 years in prison for the charge of rebellion alone. it's very serious charges facing them. these are the same charges that will face carlos and his allies

in brussels. sarah: thank you. including in nigeria. there, a group called the indigenous people of by opera is calling for an independent state in the southeast of the country. a demand that sparked a bloody civil war years ago. a reporter visited the home of the independence movement leader. he went missing in september, and his disappearance is feeling tears of fresh violence. -- fueling fears of fresh violence. >> he has disappeared. eyewitnesses say security forces stormed his house in southeastern nigeria in september. he has not been seen since. the army said he fled, but this man believes he was killed.

he is a member of the separatist ipo be indigenous people of the opera. he has been on guard at his leader's house since it was rated and he disappeared. -- it was rated and he disappeared. >> most of us were thrown >>. some of the separatists filmed what they believed was a military operation. he says 20 people were killed that afternoon. the brother of the missing separatist leader went underground. after many unsuccessful attempts to contact them, he has arranged to meet us. he said the actions of a military has made the ipo be even more determined to carry on. >> asking for referendum is not asking for war. we want to be free people. that's what everybody believes in today. >> the government has rejected

the separatist's demand sprint placing an independence referendum would be unconstitutional and. the information minister says all the governors and this in the reasons -- in the region are the same. >> we are not going to be encouraging any type of agreement that lead to loss of lives. >> fear of escalated conflict is growing among the population. nigerians in the southeast of the country have felt long sided -- sided and neglected. there's an increasingly harsh exchange of words on both sides of the conflict. some supporters speak about the destruction of nigeria. the government calls the separatist movement a terrorist organization. most observers doubt that in the current political climate that useful referendum would be possible. sarah: donald trump has left

washington ahead of his first official tour of asia. the president and first lady boarded air force one, they are headed for hawaii, where they will get a briefing on u.s. military forces in the pacific. after that, it's off to japan. tensions over north korea's nuclear threat look likely to dominate it. his previous trips abroad have brought moments that raised eyebrows. here's a look back at what happened. >> in brussels, he pushed his way to the front, shoving aside the prime minister of montenegro. in paris, he told the french first lady "you are in such good shape." undiplomatic, embarrassing to some, the u.s. president has faced a lot of criticism for his behavior on previous foreign trips. visiting asia could pose a bigger challenge. japan, iny where cultural trapse looking at every corner.

it's her job to promote japanese culture to americans. >> we don't really tell what we are thinking out loud. it's because we try to respect what other people are thinking. if we want to really avoid -- we want to really avoid the conflict. >> the sushi chef owns a restaurant in washington, d.c. he can offer a lot of good at price with regards to japanese cuisine and the use of chopsticks. >> studying is not allowed. passing the food from chopstick to chopstick, that's really bad. the only time you use a chopstick to people is when you pick up the bone of the deceased. that you never do in a restaurant. >> sometimes, a state banquet

can make history for other reasons, like this one in making 92 when a george h.w. bush fainted after vomiting in the lap of the prime minister of japan. blunders like that can happen. she was president barack obama's chief of protocol. >> every second really matters, every moment counts. you are literally almost holding your breath to make sure that those things you put in place, the hours of preparation, actually go according to plan. sometimes they don't. >> five countries in less than two weeks. this trip is a huge challenge for a president who once admitted he is not a big fan of traveling abroad. one thing will make them feel at home, in japan, prime minister oblique has invited him to a round of golf. sarah: alexandra, plenty of

pitfalls ahead for a president was that he prefers to stay at home. whether you think is going to be the biggest challenge on this trip? >> i think the biggest challenge will be how to deal with north korea, the crisis will be the main important topic on this trip. another important question will be which role this president will play in bilateral meetings with leaders at regional summits and whoever will reassure his asian partners that he is sticking to the longest policy in the region, or if he will take radical term. sarah: tensions with north korea are set to be a big focus on this trip. what specifically is he trying to achieve? >> his national security advisor told us yesterday that it is

important for the world to understand that north korea is not only a threat to the united states, and that the only acceptable outcome is denuclearization of the korean peninsula. we can expect president trump to lean heavily on his chinese counterpart to get beijing to economically and politically isolate north korea. we can also maybe expect trump to try to get russia back into the conversation. at the moment, it doesn't look like we will see any concrete steps such as new sanctions, for example. sarah: there also appears to be tensions between the white house and state department. there have been open divisions between trump and his top diplomat, is tillerson accompanying him? what can we expect to happen on the trip through asia? >> i don't think anything is

going to happen on this trip. trump has been very critical of tillerson, not that it is unusual for him to criticize members of his team. he criticized steve bannon, his former chief strategist who is no longer in the white house, but still considered a very close ally. he criticized his attorney general jeff sessions, who is still in office. we have to say that trump has been very critical of tillerson since a tv report revealed that tillerson had called trump a more on. something tillerson had not been lurking -- electric -- directly denied. sarah: thank you very much. here's a look at some other news in brief from around the world. a u.s. military judge has decided that bowe bergdahl

should not face prison for deserting his post in afghanistan back in 2009. president trump called the decision a total disgrace. prosecutors were seeking 14 years in jail for endangering his fellow searchers -- soldiers. he was captured by the taliban and spent five years in captivity. the iraqi government says its forces every captured one of the last towns held by islamic state. the prime minister says it was liberated in what he called record time. the announcement came hours after the syrian army said it had retaken the city of their outdoor, islamic state last major stronghold there. liberia's national elections commission has told reuters that the presidential election runoff will be delayed. the supreme court is currently investigating allegations of fraud in the first round. george we won that vote.

big news or apple today; -- big news for apple today. >> stocks surged another new high today. the new release of its latest iphone, the 10, which is expected to break sales records. that, and profits last quarter but the company's markets cap at almost $900 billion. >> the images are practically identical all over the world. there's a countdown, customers burst in when the stores open. they put down a pile of money, and leave you fark -- euphoric. >> i want to go home, get some rest, and enjoy the phone. >> it's the date that i wait for each year. for 11 years, since the first

iphone, i lineup to have the latest in the range in products. whether it's the watch, the ipad, the mac. i bought three iphone x's so my whole family can enjoy them. >> the latest iphone has an eight to display, and uses facial recognition technology. otherwise, it doesn't seem to be the leap forward that apple claims. it costs around $1000. buyers know they are paying for the brand. how long can apple keep it up? competition is growing, samsung isn't the only chance -- challenger. chinese companies are also fighting for a slice of the pie. >> if in the future it doesn't have enough of main features, chinese producers will bring apple down. the product research and development of chinese producers were copied from apple, but this is changing. chinese producers are the first to produce the whole screen and are emphasizing quality in photos.

apple is looking more like a chinese producer. >> that could be, but until now that hasn't made any dents in apples might -- bottom line. there were so many orders that it's already confidently forecast record sales in the run up christmas. >> apple is cashing in, but there is criticism that the company doesn't really deliver or produce anything innovative this time. there is the next big product that they expect from apple. >> the iphone x is new and innovative, but it wasn't truly the most important announcement that apple has made. it will sell by the tens of millions, maybe even hundreds, it will provide the bulk of their profits or years to come. it's ultimately still a slab of glass and metal that you hold in

your hand. apple is looking to the day where it's no longer the way that people interact with their devices, dropping a cue that the next big thing might be a device that is always with you around your arm like the apple watch. it's not the flagship product so far, but apple has had -- said that customer satisfaction is 97%. it was the new -- with the new radio onboard, it's possible to make calls and receive messages with the apple watch. >> iphones are very pricey, no matter which edition. how long is the company able to maintain such a high price tag? considering competition. >> their products have always been more expensive than the competitors. it's all about the margin, margins are pretty high at the price of $1000. the recent earnings have shown that this strategy works.

>> thank you so much. >> the storm has passed, the u.s. jobs market is on demand after it was pummeled but effects of major hurricanes in august and september. unemployment in the united states fell again last month to 4.1%, down from 4.4% in august. it's the lowest level since 2000. a separate survey indicated a surge in job growth in the same month as 261,000 workers added to the polls. that's your business update for now. back to you. sarah: a multis journalist who was killed in an assassination last month has been laid to rest. over 1500 people turned out to pay their last respects to death maker wanted kelly to you the prime minister said it denied

the request. she died on -- when a car bomb exploded. >> her son's carries her coffin of the church and into the funeral service. supporters paid their last farewell and called for justice. for years, she fought to expose corruption in an investigative blog, running commentary. many are certain her search for the truth cost her her life. >> it's not just america, it's a brutal assassination done by someone who wanted to make a show of force. to show each and every person that these more powerful than the state and is not afraid. not only of the state, but also the free person. >> she had been investigating a number of the top-tier politicians.

the family made it clear that the country's prime minister and a number of other officials would not be welcome at the funeral. the president of the european parliament was the only official representative in attendance. >> we've called for an international inquiry, the boundaries of this murder go beyond this island. we have already discussed a debate on this issue in the parliament, and will have another. >> investigations are ongoing, but there have been no significant breakthroughs so far. this lack of progress is frustrating many ordinary maltese, want to see her killers brought to justice. sarah: scientists have discovered a new type of hurricane in indonesia. -- orangutan in indonesia. researchers say it's head, voice, and eating habits are

different from any other orangutan, but it's already on the endangered species list. >> say hello to your new cousin. we are not monkeying around. this is the latest member of the great ape family. it's left name is p -- to the untrained eye, it may look like any other orangutan. when an older member of the family died in 2013 after a brutal confrontation, researchers took a closer look. what they found was remarkable. the test results, published in the journal current biology, revealed that animals have smaller heads and frizzy or for. it was its own distinct species. >> the language of the current offense is already -- the airing the tank is already different.

various tree species that no one has ever seen them eat. >> biologists warn there made not be time to celebrate. there are only 800 left, the least of any great apes species. their biggest threat comes from eight distant relative, humans. -- from a distant relative humans. >> portland hosted by munich, the hosts are in second place. they have been in poor form recently, managing to take one point from their last three games. on the other hand, byron have a perfect record. >> they have their swagger back. that's been the case since the return of the coach just in time for the classic a. the defending champs are now top of the table, which gives them added confidence. >> i don't think the pressure is on us.

we can be very happy that we are not three points ahead after two and three weeks being five points behind. >> may have clearly lifted the mood in munich, the club has strengthened its defense. the coach doesn't want his team going into the match overconfident against struggling don't. >> we shouldn't just naïvely believe they are getting weaker and we can take them with one hand tied behind our back. on the contrary, this will be an intense game. >> intensity calls for a strong black and yellow. lately, they have hit a slump. the implementation of the game plan continues to cause problems. >> early in the season, we were on a roll and nobody talked about it. it's normal that when you are not winning, people talk about it. >> what football fans around the

world talk about saturday game remains to be seen. dortmund could again be in first and see positive headlines. sarah: that's dw news, or coming at the top of the hour. i will see you then.
