two weeks total of eight. but the agenda north korea's nuclear. and the islamic state. if in dodoubt as old. currently still under his control in syria and iraq will be asking. is the islamic state still unrest .

that's tonight. mr office hiding out in belgium and now. international arrest warrant pick not independently condos pushed him on. in barcelona his supporters took to the streets tonight declaring that they stand firmly behind their embattled leader. well in madrid. eight members of his former government are in jail. little earlier on this evening i spoke to sarah morris she's our correspondent in madrid. on that decision by spain to issue an international arrest warrant for carla's personal. the first step that will happen is that there will be a european arrest warrant and an international arrest warrant. either didn't did that she's in case he decides to meet belgigium ad go to another countryry hard

the police in spain will send not so the two. . are dead belgian court lakes and then add to that a b belgian coolol. and. then wee a also put schuman explained t that kind of pushed mom would have to. i can next bats warrant show going t t the couourt himsef and that it could be. a delay said dad reno you approached him on that he could. spanish justice system he doesn't think it is impartial he thinks it's politicized are but the jump shot tonight its hearing that warrent says that. he needs to come to spain to face those charges of sedition of rebellion of

embezzling public money she said that. he ignored the constitutional court orders that the referendum or photobucket first was illegal and or. did go. and that he couldn't push ahead of with secession she said at that to other worlds a orchestrated plan to use our people on the street to push ahead asia by u. s. presiden over twenty five years. enough time for president donanald t trump to addresse of the thorniest issues of his foreign policy. we stopping in japan south korea china vietnam and the philippines. top of his agenda will be the nuclear standoff with north korea. brussels he

bowed look to has at the president's week. n't world days to defend american interests abroad. nonstop japapan. with prime minister abe the schedule to play golf. dying and listen to pop music. but dominating the agenda will be north korea. nuclear tests and fiery rhetoric have fled up tensions. are they will be seeking reassurances on america's military commitments in the region. in seoul trump's counterpart moon jm is pushihing f for a diplomatic solution to the crisis. well aware that his citizens would be the first targets in a a conflict. the american president will give a much awaited speech before parliament. but has chosen not to visit the demilitarized border. central to any progress with pyongyang will be beijing trump's next. as north korea's primary trading partner only china can exert meaningful pressure on the kim regime. yet president trump has blown hot and cold when it

comes to beijing's ability to keep pyongyang and check. so trump com scene he completely nexus the trans pacific partnership since completely mixed signals to different powers one these nice to china out next they he's confronontational towas china. and trump he's free to contributing to tensions in the region rather than contributing to the proper management. of very complex all you know conflicts such as that in the korean peninsula. the american leader will then speak in vietnam at the apec summit. after pulling out of the trans pacific partnership it could be an opportunity to strike bilateral trade deals which the president prefers. cutting the tool will brant pop in the philippines with a meeting of asean countries hosted by controversial president rodrigo duterte. a man who openly advocates muttering drug addicts and has been accused of crimes against him and. kovler. more on trump's travel plans let's talk now to a washington correspondent

phillip crowther. philip. trump will be spending nearly two weeks are in asia north korea presumably will top the agenda in most countries. yes absolutely it will certainly at the start of this trip per the first stop is j japan t the second stos south korea both of those countries feel threatened and indeed all threatened by pyongyang's nuclear and missile program. you just have to take a look at its polished sentences from u. s. presidentnt donald trump about. korea maybe his rhetoric would be quite as harsh when his actually in a. but he has one that he was willing to completely destroy north korea he has portrayed came yellen the leader of north korea. as the rocket man on a suicide mission and has promised to bring bring the fire and fury to north korea there is a worry that's of the rhetoric will remain the same. and remember the donald trump always does have access to his twitter account indeed he has been tweeting over the last few

hours while own airforce one on his way to hawaii. that will be his first stop before actually getting to japan as so with japan and south korea clearly the priority will be north korea trade as well of course but. and north korea will then be the overriding theme as well when he arrives in beijing as you just saw in that report sir donald trump really wants. and the chinese regime and president she's in pain to put that economic pressure on north korea which he hasn't necessarily refuse to do out right so far. but he's obviously not willing at to strangle a big trading partner of for china as so north korea very much at the top of the agenda and the white house. and has made that very clear the national security advisor h. on that monster. only yesterday said the

time was running out for the world to get that nuclear regime off north korea to stop its essentially and to rewind parents in last years election. yes and that's story will not go away. donald trump would be able to escape that's and maybe he would want to again he will be able to comment in real time on whatever robert mueller the special counsel. who's investigating possible collusion between the trump campaign and russia will find outut and that will bea few press conferences. in asia as well andhere is news on that front a. trial dates a and has been offered to buy a the a prosececuting attorney thats anand maybe the seventh that would be full paul manna for the former. head of the trump campaignn and his business associate rick

gates that will be a very high profile affffair meanig that this invnvestigation wl remain in the headlines of course you also know. best and there is a former campaign adviser george papadopoulos who is working together with the fbi he has a plea bargain that could be more. coming out of that and then i'll colleagues at cnn report the jared cushion of the the president's son in law and one of his most important advisors. has now handed over documents pertaining to the firing of james co me by rob a by donald trump james co me is the former fbi director. who at the time all of days in e might come back to some significant news? on the russian front.

in a crowd the reporting for us that from washington thanks very much indeed. now at the height of his power is territory spanned a side of iraq and much of eastern syria. today the islamic states caliphate come as little more than two border towns. this friday the syrian government announced that with substantial russian warplanes supportrt. itits fighters had pushed the islamic state from the city of data zour. i was its last remaining stronghold in the country kevin because that hospital. the long process begins to raise the islamic state group smog from the city. as the syrian army declares terrace sort fully armed. troll. white don't matter at the engineering unit his home in the neighborhoods of the city where it's is clearing mines and baby traps. not putting me up the liberation of paris so is considered to be the last phase in terminating the i. s. creep in syria. right you see i'm.

the destruction here bears witness to weeks of heavy fighting. much of the city had been held under i s. rule since twenty fourteen. during the seas activists reported dire conditions an april twenty sixteen to you and. air drop. nice to see. civilians.&-rthat. government forces and their allies first broke the militant groups seats in septemember in a russian bas offensive. with the islamic state group encircled between the city and the euphrates river. syrian forces began their advance. well u. s. bank kurdish fighters also advanced from the north alongside a simultaneous assault on our kind in western iraq. it brings a huge blow to the groups former heartland straddling the border. leaving al become al on the syrian side the last major town wonderful i s. control. for more analysis on the islamic state's demise in the region we are joined now by johnson paris a senior fellow at the atlantic council. johnson thank sipping on the program at

festival. the islamic states caliphate its territory doesn't really exist much anymore to been reduced to these two border towns and sways at and t. does as. many of its fighters aren't child all on the run. is the groups that a threat. what personal my? i'm a london based middle east analyst thank you. yes of course are isis remainss a threat throughout syria in varying degrees are but it is clear that the darren zour our collapse i s a majojor event. following the defeat of. isis and laka. a last month by the. by the stf be kurdish suny our allied force that supported by the united states and the coalilition.. but n now we're i in a new e we're in a new phase and it's not altogether. are going to be a happppy one.. no. intel resort self the islamic state may have been pushed out but in the province that house a number

of keyey oil fields. and is there a fight that potentially shaping up between the russian back syrian forces are between u. s. box cutters forces. well that's what i was saying the the fbi up the kurdish force which took raka. author has themar our o oil fields a and yes t syririan g government vererh wants them back or wants to take them. because they're quite lucrative and the syrian government iss supported by not only r rusa but by iran and iraran's prproxies hezezbollah. and e are the players that are really. how should we say cashing in on the defeat of isis the back in created by that withdrawal by isis? i even from the provinces dimension so if the stf if the kurdish forces. our can remain and if the americans will continue to support them then there's a chance abe could retain. the oilfields at least as a bargaining chip so that are there could be a negotiated

withdrawal of all foreign forces from syria including the iranians and hezbollah from lebanon. they should go back and allow the syria. rule itself without the intervention of other foreign ports. and what off the islamic state spices themselves out without a territorial base may they now a a damsel reverts to to have more suicide attacks. yeah i think our dutch court home quite right. they're going to continue to harass. this syrian government and be. you know any any stability will be punctured by suicide bombings just as baghdad was punctured by suicide bombings. al after the defeat of saddam a but i think what you are so going to see is. more isis activity in sinai in egypt. and europe unfortunately they'll be more terrorism in europe and even in in new york we just have last week a long wall. inspired by
