military they've taken a boss swath of territory from isis in recent weeks they've liberated thousands of kilometers. from the jihad overnight just this night they've liberated two more villages as well as sixteen square kilometers but there are reasons some tension because u.s. backed forces a very close yesterday have syrian democratic forces reportedly with united states military personnel advising and assisting them and there has been some tension even escalation the russians say that the u.s. backed. the syrian military twice. and with and with rockets they say that these can all be allowed to allow to happen they contacted the united states via the hotline that they have established between the russians and the americans and they've said if this happens again any. will

will cause a response and bailable means will be used to make sure those russian personnel and syrians they say that there's a lot of tension on the ground and there's a lot of room for escalation so there's a need to be careful more than that they say the u.s. forces have been withdrawn they've been redeployed from raca the former capital. where they've been besieged by the u.s. backed forces twenty percent of the city is still held by isis nevertheless the americans with during their own personnel that they're withdrawing the s.d.f. and sending them to dead when there's a mystery here as well because the russians say that they have detected no clashes between u.s. backed militias and isis in the vicinity of that as the sweet. it's a very concerning development isn't it and it also comes off to iraqi military

a list of locations where those military police when they were in the area monitoring it but this is a deescalate where there's been attempts to reduce violence. to the wind but the russians are adamant that there was some plow play involved nevertheless the rebel offensive has been blunted the russians say that with their with their assistance the syrian military has recaptured almost all territory that was taken by rebels and they have suffered casualties huge casualties rebels ok that's more on gas they're reporting from homs in syria for us at day climes. it's a castle only and now where tens of thousands of people have hit the streets in support of the region's upcoming independence referendum. thank you thank you thank you. catalonia is staying another day of massive street

protests the spanish government is trying to stop the referendum from going ahead national paramilitary forces raided more than twenty cattle and government offices detaining at least fourteen pro independence activists some of them are aides to catalonia as vice president the previous night so protesters clashing with police forces. who. was the it was. after a day of sun searches spain's prime minister has urged catalans to abandon what he called an impossible during the response there are generally those in charge of the catalan government who are the protagonist in this challenge to our coexistence on

elsom to cease in the illegal activities they should abandon their objectives they now know that this referendum cannot be organize it was never legal all legitimate it is now no more than an impossible dream or what is worse the excuse that some seem to have found to deepen the splits that they have provoked in cattle on society. was it was. the wall of eight hour standoff in barcelona between police and demonstrators ended with office says abandoning attempts to enter the office of the region's key pro independence policy apparently without an official warrant the region's president branded recently by special dorothy's as coordinated aggression and accused the majority of putting in place a state of emergency in the region. to look at

a loan you're stuck with just of we do not going to catalan government has been subjected today to a coordinated aggression committed by the police forces directed by the spanish interior ministry the objective has been to stop the cattle and society to express themselves freely and didn't peace on the first of october this aggression is outside of the law it damages the state of law and all of the constitutional guarantees and also damages the european union bill on human rights in the last few days and particularly today the spanish state has suspended the self rule of catalonia and is put in place a state of emergency. wednesday's crackdown sparked protests across the country the largest took place in the council on campus or boss alone with some forty thousand people taking to the street local journalists call as an anger as was there for us.

here we are in the center of the margin right now is taking place in the heart of our solar not think i'm be aware thousands of the times are on the streets you are invited to participate during these mornings because of the pressure of the national government we remember that these morning when you have to be in the started to came in to the different places around the city looking for information on people there a friend of that will take place the first of october to see the sense of barcelona has reacted spontaneously to what they say is an attack to their modesty and a freedom of speech. a kid hits a day because i was born here i'm a cattle on my grandparents i got signs my language is the catalog and i am is here in this land and today this land is attacked by all the democratic ways possible from the spanish states bush forty years ago we had

a dictator today we have another actually there are quite a few in the government but i mean this is a repression i couldn't believe it when i sold the news so we left everything and came here i think it is a really important moment and we should be here on the streets we're sending in peaceful message and we need to express ourselves as other cities like you don't outside and were taken by cities and asking for the right of voting on the referendum on the first of. well madrid's used a range of measures in this bid to stop this referendum taking place it at the upcoming vote illegal and conducted numerous raids to seize pro referendum materials well currently more than seven hundred mez under investigation over their support for they still vote and most recently madrid's announced plans to take control of catalonia is budgets in order to ensure that money isn't being spent on the referendum well let's take a closer look at our world spain could lose if caught at that catalonia does indeed

become independent well well the region makes up only six percent of the territory of spain with just sixteen percent of the population living there it accounts for one fifth of the country's anti-air tax revenue and a quarter of all exports a member of the barcelona city council believes the international community should be stepping in to prevent madrid from abusing the region they don't want to the latest vote but people are voting with their feet they are actually crossing the street going over to wherever the intervention has taken place and defending the institutions from the street massively this is an attack on democracy this is actually a state of exception we are the military police or intervening in the normal democratic functioning of the catalan institutions and this is why our people are

on the street blocking the entrance to some of these institutions saying that whoever enters will not be able to come out unless the people suffering right now and in the street allow them to come out and we ask the international community to intervene and stop this abuse this abuse on the catalan people on the markets in catalonia and in europe in general this concerns all of us because right now it's catalonia tomorrow it could be the rest of spain or even other places in europe. fresh protests are breaking out in paris we'll be going live to the french capital for all the latest details after this short break so as. i wouldn't call me manufacture consent to public wealth. when the closest protect himself. with the famous merry go

round be the one person. in the middle of the room sick. german interests european interests are really deeply intertwined with each other i think the the world. thinking of. having interests that's truly opposed to those of obligations that one side has to work with the opposite believes that's really exactly the world so. it isn't relevant to the.

so i welcome back ok we're going to bring you updates on one of our top stories this hour wednesday's crackdown sparking protests across spain with the largest taking place in the consul encompass all boss alone with some forty thousand people taking to the streets we can now cross live to yes i'm mr price from the welsh assembly and mr price sensitive of joining us on the program and i we lost you we're going to have you back now let's talk about this referendum even if it is allowed to go ahead to madrid will not accept the result as legal so what's the point in voting in it. well look i think the key issue here is that you know there is a fundamental right of peoples everywhere to decide on their own future i mean it's in shrines as we know in the united nations charter the rights of nations that self-determination and you know this is i think troubling for parliamentarians the

across the whole of europe indeed for citizens because you know what we're seeing this escalating use of force by the spanish did it against the rights of the council on people to choose their own future you know it's the worst sprit church all of democratic rights that we've seen in european democracies since you know the generals coup when in greece at the end of the nineteen sixty's it's clearly a violation of the fundamental principle of the council of europe which spain is a member of but also the european union union article seven of the treaty of the european union clearly states that there has to be respect for democratic governance and spain is now in raiding political parties raiding the press threatening a mass arrest of over seven hundred mayors and the president the vice president. elect of the of the catalan general it's not spain was clearly step to the mark and

there are dark echoes here of of course of spain's forto past things that are having a bit of a case of days are very here the u.k. to within a drive towards independence most notably with scotland's referendum but bear also those in wales who want to break away from london is it my graduation to say that this is becoming something of a trend in europe. well i think it's true isn't it that the tectonic plates if you like a shifting everywhere as there is a no weakening desire amongst nations and peoples to actually be free to chart their own course that's certainly the case in kurdistan of course on on monday next week there's also a desire to have an independence referendum and once again in a direct parallel with catalonia we're seeing an attempt by the iraqi state government to thwart the legitimate desire of the people of that nation to chart their own future ok welsh assembly member adam price thank you for joining us on

the program there. the online retail giant amazon is under fire for potentially helping would be terrorists consol for it was revealed its website which displays other products you might like to purchase for just the various components needed for homemade bomb polly book reports what do you do when a computer algorithm takes on a life of its own and that's the question facing online retail giant amazon after a channel four investigation revealed that its search function suggests the ingredients required to make a homemade bomb when used as search for one of its components so if i type in the particular chemical compound that can be used to make a crude homemade bomb i'm in gives me the search result but also that this action just beneath the search result that's called frequently brought together in their

search engine generates the other ingredients required that would get you well on the way to making that improvised explosive device yourself you scroll down even further there's another section called customers who bought this item also bought and then there's a whole host of supplies that we can't show you hey but they include things like beaches for mixing chemicals in weighing scales and even rather roman asli ball bearings that could be put inside a homemade bomb in order to make a bigger impact. the source of impact that this crude bucket was meant to have the explosives planted on the train in parsons green failed to detonate properly it caused burns and minor injuries to tens of train passengers the revelation that the ingredients to buy

items that could lead to mass casualties. just readily available but it being or to my sickly suggested by amazon search function has raised concerns about how much internet giants are able to rein in the algorithms they themselves have created even if. you know the answer manufacturer's devices the capability is good enough though. there are still curious teenage bulletins there are still sort of. you know infusing this eccentrics who decide they want to go and make a bomb and blow it up at the bottom of the garden and this particular issue makes it far far easier for those people to do stuff and of course they're making bombs and it's going to be some sort of accident and a loss of life as well so much more has to be done and it's really quite irresponsible. not to be doing more today research out this week has

shown that jadis material is viewed more in the u.k. than in any other european country and in twenty sixteen britain was amazon's biggest market well now with that emerging that algorithms like amazon could be helping terrorists to plan attacks the question is one of the tech giants able to do about it hollywood star morgan freeman has targeted moscow in an unusual video of words supposedly meddling in the u.s. presidential election promotes the committee to investigate russia a new group created by artists and politicians is just the latest initiative probing moscow's alleged attempts to interfere in u.s. politics here's a nissen now. do you like morgan freeman i do after one dies voice he's a great actor but you know what i don't like when celebrities warmonger and wage

wars we have been attacked we are. poor we came under attack by the russian government no he's just acting i don't believe that he's probably just promoting his next movie or something imagine this movie script a former k.g.b. spy angry at the collapse of his mother and plots of course for revenge secretly use a cyber warfare to attack democracies around the world and he went. through it's just the scribes and i thought this guy might pick corn crazy glad i'm here to stand by and this is no movie script. ok the voice of god imagine this movie script actors are pushing an agenda and promote war with the zero evidence to back their claims because politicians have got hollywood in the back and this is just like

a movie script every detail plotted and playing out perfectly scripted how do i know because the very next day after this beautiful performance by morgan freeman a hollywood director came on t.v. repeating the same entre they've attacked us they're trying to undermine our democracy our country is attacked democracy is on the brink too you know if we're going to survive we need to come together as americans and understand what happened and then to top it off this finale and the russians and the russians they succeeded in messing with our democracy and i just can't abide that putin strategy is he really doesn't like democracy he thinks it's an inconvenient messy process and he doesn't like us and he wants to destabilize our country

bravo bravo bravo here's a job how many people does it take to start a war the answer three an actor a director and a better politician but this has no joke. well francis today is seeing another wave of protests against president labor reforms some demonstrators threw flares and stones at the police we can now show you live pictures from at the capital now where people are continuing to hold protests now it comes there after yesterday are you earlier today unions are staged these fresh protests against an overhaul of the labor laws in france they hope to build pressure on the president emanuel mccrone just days before his flagship reforms are expected to enter into force and as you can see flares are being thrown from the crowds these are the latest pictures we're showing you know.

rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or somehow want to be preached. to the right to be prosperous like that before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the waters of my college. sitting in. this bed with me but i can know the most get a little bit because well plus i'm a lawyer but i. know both of you as a problem but i get sort of kind of the side of this yes. i see a dump i can just see your piece i left a little bit to see. where
