was to d dermine that the person who had been arrested was indeed. the man that spain it was looking for carles puigdemont and the court determined that it was and it looks through the list of charges against him to determine whether or not he could be considered. for extradition because crimes for which one is being extradited have to be crime. in the country from which one is being extradited is a key point. there are some crown wanted it one of the one of the charges friends is that major is leveling against mister. puigdemont which is rebellion isn't a crime in germany and so for that there's gonna be some debate let's say. as to whether or not he could be extradited on that basis but there are other charges for which you can be expedited the next. step is simply to move it on to a higher court. what happens now when will we find out whether or not carles puigdemont is going back to spain? well itt moves upp to a to a higher court a as i was just

today was that one. russian consulate will be closed all togetherer that is the consulate in s seattle and e northwest of the united states. so there's a pretty stringent measures announce. by the trump administration sixty diplomats or again spies as the white house cacalls them expelled all together that is of course more than the european union and indeed more than the bud other was the administration knew about them already it has now a decided to expel them despite the fact that they were spies working. in the united states according to the white house again now what we're seeing

though in terms of a difference attitude towards this from the administration first of all on one side and the us president's on the other the the us presencnce flows to speak for the administration. is we see very tough measures from the from the ministration tough statements as well from the life of the state department or the press secretary at the white house but very little from the u. s. president we have not heard from him. today i the in public in front of the cameras old by a tweet he is off addressing this issue and remember that the last time he spoke with the russian president's walls lost week. a congrgratulatoy phone call for the reelection of that at this m
