while the situation trying to violence real quick as soon as the polling stations got out and now before that the atmosphere at still average single falling station a meaning a school building was quite friendly people were gathering there and started to gather there in the middle of the night and sound were even sleeping there and spending their nights there just to protect the school building from being shut down by police security by police forces now right after the problem stations to got opened. spanish authorities show police forces raided the buildings of the school and they use violence against of the citizens against the citizens of different neighborhoods around the area of council line and especially here in the capital city of wasilla now we're standing in one of those neighborhoods where the polling stations are still open to worry people are still here and we do know that in just two blocks away from here there was some violent clashes between citizens and police forces police use force against different sources people against

a young students against people against families with children and is a very it is a very worrying tendency that we see here we see crowds of people here and despite the rain despite quite bad weather here people are still coming in and they're bringing their children together with them family members elderly people basically the whole neighborhood is at the moment here to protect their right to vote and to speak up their minds at this referendum which the spanish authorities consider to be illegal now to discuss the situation and more details sound now joined to live by my re of the law and she's a lawyer from association dress which means rights and counsel and thank you so much for joining me thank you now we've seen violence today we've seen violence today from the civil guard so what do you make of this what's your impression was that a shock for you absolutely i think. the situation was absolutely pay for peaceful

sorry for the whole we came actually there were a lot of people who were already sleeping last friday actually thousands of them in some in some places and the situation was that with no reason they started to take out a ballot boxes even breaking glasses in some places heating people using rubber bollards we jar and proceeded to cut down on your seems to two thousand and twelve and this is the situation now i think it is a complete disgrace what happened to they normally by the civil guard but actually also from from the from the national spanish police most was the squad i would just like the time police were not advised about this going on the fact that they were going to be deployed everywhere and i think this is this is really shameful and somebody should stop it because we shouldn't we shouldn't. forget that this is

a referendum i mean this is a referendum so everybody can vote wherever they want either it's a yes or no but everything it's it was supposed to be peaceful we've seen it until the police came but what about the reaction coming from neighboring states coming from the e.u. from humanitarian organizations on the violence that we've witnessed this morning why we haven't heard anything we heard the united nations to they said go which were already complaining about the situation in the last week and a week for that of course the situation is much much worse today i thing they were pm community commission should speak for me it's complete i cannot really understand the fact that they should they should remember that we are also reviewing citizens and we must be protected for these kind of attacks in this community and. elation of human rights action but even i did meet him. so.

yes in some way after what happened in catalonia i don't think we've seen and i think that what happened to the changed a lot of things we've seen what happens but i think we don't have to forget that this is a referendum on so far though the timer nation which means that whatever result is going to be out tonight i think this is the result that pakatan parliament because they are actually compromised to do that this is the result that got time for them in. effect and what your forecast was going to happen you think violence going to continue what's going to happen next i don't know i think we can expect anything i think we've been we've we've been seeing very very very aggressive reactions. i think backed up by a lens which honestly i don't think a lot of people i didn't expect it that way and i don't know we'll see it we'll see if the book how many people regardless of this fact are able to vote because we are

and we should keep that in mind also the fact that the if someone is not allowed to vote it's not because you are i mean it's for a very concrete reason and that is the violence. that the spanish police are carrying out everywhere in the country right thank you so much that was my reveal our lawyer from the association drats which means rights and counsel and thank you again i'm going to tell you that despite what's happening now in terms of the weather as you can see it's pouring rain outside there are lots of people krauser just keep coming in bringing children and friends and other family members and for everyone here it is really a shock what kind of violence they saw this morning that was a shocking experience for many citizens of cattle on the of this morning ok with the latest thousand and thirteen a question of a from boston alone we will be coming back to you later in the program again with the lead latest information but for now. very much. ok lebanese

less and less. also this week germany has seen a number of protests denouncing the policies of the alternative for germany party after made a major breakthrough a week ago and entered parliament for the first time. the biggest rallies gathered outside the a.f.d.c. headquarters with protesters shouting at the party's leaders as they celebrated the election results the f.t. claims the protesters were acting so aggressively they were afraid to leave the building. the recent one the saga elections also made headlines angle americal despite coming out on top so a plunge in support her christian democratic party registered as worse results since nine hundred forty nine i mean hard times could lie ahead as artist daniel hawkins explains. to many i'm going to merkel is the embodiment of stability in the

face of crisis mixing diplomacy with a firm hand and sound decision making well as for that skill this term has been marred by a series of setbacks firstly she decided to open the doors to asylum seekers at the height of the refugee crisis almost a million flooded into germany in twenty fifteen alone while some more welcoming others started to worry the country just wouldn't be able to cope. a year off to mark a lot to open door policy germany saw a rise in modern crimes one of the most shocking hundreds of women alleging they were sexually assaulted in cologne new year's celebrations by men of north africa an hour of appearance.

the events in cologne took their toll on merkel's popularity. the chancellor's controversial refugee policy is also blamed at least partly for something much more sinister and dangerous a rise in is the most terrorism. poorly vetted or later radicalized migrants cross the border germany saw multiple terror attacks take place markel faced her biggest leadership crisis. for the first. burgers and for. going to hold with the gun to be one of the all. finally the g twenty summit presented it in. national p.r.

opportunity for chancellor merkel but while she advertised hamburgers a gateway to the world protest groups had other ideas welcome to hell and the authorities failed to prevent the chaos. the city descended into riots torched cars and pitched street battles with the police much of the media held her accountable for the chaos and for even choosing that venue to start with she may still be queen of the polls but merkel may need a fourth term just the right some of the mess she created in the third. we'll be back in just a minute with all the latest from constant stay with us. what

politicians do you should. put themselves on the line to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president and you. want to be rich. but you going to be pros that's what before three in the morning can't be good. i'm interested always in the water out. there should. this with the with me and many. the most get a little. bit too much. plus animals on you but i you. know both it was a bit of but i guess sort of kind of a. sign of this yes or no but if you dump a lot and just see your piece of foam that is.

where the blue he will get a good area for immigrants it's hit and miss we never really know for sure but this has been a active area. next to so on. and yet. you know. when i started no i. just keep being when it was only about maintaining peace between states i've been essentially symbolic value when you have militias when you have criminal groups. this is a sim. it's not enough you need robust schools. though

welcome back we start with our breaking news from catalonia where voting on independence from spain is underway several people have been injured in clashes with military police civil guard officers and forced to weigh in supposing stations across the region breaking down doors as activists inside tried to prevent them from entering a number of people have been dragged away by offices. ok. all right. thank. you cuomo.

and hey you can see spanish police detaining protesters who blow can be a way for police vehicles civil god offices and riot gear to be seen driving away people sitting in the road scuffles also erupted between protesters and the police but we can now cross live to maintain a call to know who is off to polling station in boston alone a forward medina can you bring us up to speed on what's been happening since polling stations opened at nine am local time and and how things have been but develops over the few hours that they've been open. well we've seen shocking amount of violence on the streets of boston lawn and across the region of cats along and this was a shock for so many people citizens of different neighborhoods like the one we're standing right now this is one of the neighborhoods say in the heart of barcelona and would been here since four am talking to people those people who have gathered

here citizens of this part this area protecting this building protecting the building of the school which is at the moment and alteration old calling station so the voting still contain is here but we do know that just two blocks away from here there was some violent clashes with the police forces and police with using force against citizens against ordinary people who came in the morning to vote and they came with their family and they brought children and they brought algy people and now we've seen a lot. if islands from their police were pushing people out of the appalling station there were breaking windows they were really using force against different sorts of people including young students and even people now another worrying detail is that at the moment crowds are gathering here at the square close to the school and people are waiting for the police to arrive they are determined to stay

there determined to remain here but i see a lot of children here now now we asked those children this family a lot of children to come over here and just to show you how many children around us if you have a look you turn around if you have a look at the amount of students on the square amount of elderly people on the square and mound of children really small children and families who came here. and now it is a very worrying tendency that we see so much of violence on the streets of boston on that because people here are peace will be won to remain peaceful they're trying to show that in different gestures like showing the hands and clapping and singing and trying to really remain friendly despite old these are warring reports that we keep receiving now we've been here for a couple of hours and we managed to talk to some people who decided to stay here and to defend as they say their fundamental human rights. in this county has been

mobilizing for the last many years just with these objectives to be able to express ourselves and to say what do we want for this country for the future he doesn't mother but it's raining. because we love the grocery we want to vote we have needed to do extreme actions such as sleeping in schools such as coming here hundreds of person said five o'clock in the morning spending i have been standing here for hours and we will be here all day if necessary because they don't want to let us. spanish authorities are blamed the kaesong regional police for this crisis for the fact that they had to use force now they say that for cattle and police are political a criteria is political priority has were more important than fulfilling their professional duties and that was why they had to use force against citizens they had to do something they never wanted to do and that was using force against

ordinary citizens in a different polling stations across the region often catch the lani and now we do expect to see some violence here as well but people are not leaving the are determined to vote this sunday. and this comes as of course their counsel on health ministry has reported that thirty eight people have been injured by this police crackdown and it costs alone so as for now thank you very much that's when i caution of it will come back to you later in the program for more details. i'm going to video has emerged online of officers confiscating boxes on ballot papers from a council on polling station with voters trying desperately to stop them i took the. i. was.

there are some. in the. it's not the mass of the fifty voters but you know to say that our culture over. all remembrance of nuns nazi crimes is rome that's too much it's the attitude of some people in the. fifty's which by the way is no in the process of sharing good sales with our. economic development is all about nobody really pleased or think this quarter we are one hundred six morning. but what do we know about the other figures. when i think about the fact that our c.e.o.

mike do. over twenty million dollars last year more than one thousand times the average wal-mart a says c.n.n. . with all due respect i have to say i don't think that's right. is that just how a free market works. people went from pretty simple financial lives pre nine hundred eighty to the point now where people are. just totally submerged in their financial accounts and their. all in debt and what exactly divided society. the part of the government tried to do both at nestle maybe. it might be making things worse. by saying this is not how capitalism works this is our capitalism goes hopelessly design mistress leave room.

in the us a child can choose another school. with offices as teachers we don't. recruit we'll see if the cadet is interested in going in the military we don't recruit ourselves. the pentagon is funding a program to boost interest in the military among teenagers. to step up to.

the ball with yourself. you can't go wrong with the military it's a great stepping stone for whatever career you want to do but some veterans are willing to tell enthusiastic children a little more they ask me call of duty is a very popular first year video game. it's play. like call of duty turn off call of duty oh yeah. or lot of these kids just don't hear. the darker side does the pentagon allow them to be told or does it just need more recruits. not. one of us was.
