where ninety percent of the people who voted voted to leave spain and this is going to be quite a critical meeting of the european parliament because they did receive quite a bit of criticism for not reacting swiftly enough to the police violence that unraveled here on the ground on the day of the referendum if you remember over eight hundred people were injured in the clashes and attempts by authorities to get in the way of this referendum we do know of course that clearly the european union is not a huge fan to say the least of catalonia potentially leaving spain and they have made it clear time and time again that they do want spain to resolve this issue internally however because the situation has become so extreme where obviously barcelona and madrid have clashed and it's not quite clear how they're going to move forward and the people in catalonia here have been calling for the european union to get involved and mediate somehow it's going to be quite important to see what comes out of this meeting now we have seen here for a several days

a series of demonstrations of raveling following the brutality that happened on the day of the referendum let's take a listen to what people have been telling. the family of us and i don't you know we will not take steps anything like he said you know while we have hot food we just want to choose all right to various kinds of it and we think. the moment the utopia needs to support. someone has to be. to put. another quite important element that's happening here today in barcelona as later on in the day we are expecting the caps one leader to make a speech in the evening he's going to be speaking exactly twenty four hours after the king of spain made a speech last night where he basically reacted in a way making it clear that he's not happy with the way the council on leadership has been approaching the situation now is expected to speak and shed more light. in

terms of what exactly is going to happen in terms of a potential declaration of independence and we do know that the capital and regional parliament here in barcelona earlier today have said that they're going to hold a sort of emergency session on monday next week where potentially this process could be launched so certainly what's going on here in barcelona along with the big general strike that took place yesterday on tuesday with tens of thousands of people coming out onto the streets and another protest expected this evening which is going to be concentrated more on people coming out to speak against independence something we will also be following here in barcelona. will be witty enough to check it out in barcelona thank you very much indeed thank you. well the european union says it won't condemn the police violence in spain and instead gave its backing to the spanish prime minister to resolve the crisis where spanish will surratt has continued to say they see the vote as illegal and unconstitutional. well the crisis has even crossed into football in spain as national teams prepare

for their final qualifying matches to reach the twenty eighteen world cup here in russia barcelona defender gerrard p.k. an outspoken backer of catalan independence was booed as he trained with the spanish squad. was. was if well p.k. is from catalonia and has had a glittering career for both his club and the spanish national team for whom he's won the world and european cups however piquet has said he is willing to retire from international football over his staunch backing of catalan independence or barcelona football club is a focal point of catalan nationalism supporters can be heard chanting independent slogans during matches after seventeen minutes and fourteen seconds seventeen fourteen being the catalonia became a part of spain well the club also took part in the recent strike against the government and after last sunday's game was played behind closed doors due to fears

of crowd safety p.k. got emotional talking about independence during a t.v. interview. so you got the land the story. or much going on. your show and take a bit of an over the. years i mean it's almost a little too much of the newsroom of quality. you know. you know you're only going to. know your name or not very soon. or get to procure a petrol honda. craig a show you. are going to roll among them buffalo. well meanwhile the mare barcelona's says she's received reports from several women who say they were sexually assaulted by police on the day of the referendum. if there are the few good outcomes of citizens in pasadena common sense then you want to

position and having never rights and liberties and the threat of many of the victims of violence not just physical or sexual because we've received several reports from anyone who say they were sexually assaulting. you or sunday's referendum led to violence scuffles between riot police and voters almost nine hundred people were injured by the all sources who were trying to stop people from casting their ballots well we spoke to a former catalan m.p. who says the vote is illegal according to international law well done to merely on the grounds of vote for doing that by months ninety percent was for the naacp and once and now we are protesting against. all these by a loans and supporting the unilateral declaration of independence that parliament declared before when these peoples have the right to father their nation so for enemies league old because the united nations even for

a moment the laws of the united nations are subject there were initial right is a right is totally legal is consider it an. international law passed all world though of course if spanish were free to feel. the leader of the outlaws or terror group abu mohammed al gilani has been gravely injured in a russian air strike in syria russia's defense ministry says its fighter jets successfully targeted an on those three meeting essentially eliminating the group's leadership what are still reports from syria. this is all in the aftermath of last month's attack on a group of russian military police in northern hamma they were there to monitor a deescalation zone and what caught in the middle of a rebel offensive they were surrounded by fighters jihad ists led by nusra front and what ensued was a battle that lasted for many hours as a result of the bandits attack

a platoon of military police numbering twenty nine people was trapped for several hours and was forced to repel enemy attacks despite being outnumbered that military police unit was with the help of then surely able to withdraw break out of the encircled monday but since then russian surveillance and military intelligence has gone into overdrive looking for new stores leadership and their fighters on the third of october they learned that there would be a meeting with senior officials nusra officials in attendance and when sources on the ground confirm that two jets would dispatch to carry out and their shrike it was hugely successful twelve field commanders were killed abu mohammed. the leader of nusra front apparently lost a hand and is now in critical condition fifty other fighters and bodyguards were also killed as well as many others injured this is extremely important because nuestra among the jihad list and rebel factions in syria is arguably the most

powerful with the most sophisticated weapons and the most fighters. that allow generate the highly effective. and. the gap through bucket full of these extremely toxic chemical driven most of this is one of the methods of torture that was used by the militants. however the fight against terror isn't over despite most militants being driven out of syria and iraq russia's president has warned that the series of major defeats

has forced the terrorists to change their tactics and relocate here and as the details in his address president putin said that terrorist factions in syria and iraq are reeling after a series of significant blows and this is something that may be pushing them into setting their sights on other countries in other regions also this comes after some major gains in the fight against terror groups in the two countries we've seen the syrian army supported by russia retake syria piece by piece from the clasp of the militants successfully liberating india resort breaking the three year stage there also the u.s. led coalition is forcing the group from the defacto capital of raca while fighting against isis continues in iraq also so it's been blow after blow for the terror group announce what could prompt the move to establish new bases elsewhere here's what he said to counter terror activities in syria and iraq have not led to the total demolition of infrastructure and the combat potential of terrorist

organizations the militants have changed their tactics and started creating new strongholds in other states and regions but this isn't just about eliminating i still of course there's also. job at hand as well whichever one you want to call it that's the second strongest insurgent group in syria after iceland russia's foreign minister sergei lavrov has stressed the importance of not overlooking this group we have long been trying to draw the international community's attention to the fact that the us led coalition before the russian military had started its anti terrorist campaign in syria which quite possibly site. in high school and not striking our newsroom. after russia launched its operation the coalition became more active strikes against isis but even after the new u.s. administration stepped in we haven't seen the coalition making any serious efforts to target al newsroom and this week has also seen significant gains against those who are also courtesy of russian forces and their start this week and imitated

several key think is unless the group has the leader of the group jelani critically injured which could deal a major blow to operations and also to the move out of the this were a terror group giuliani could almost be the poster boy of terrorism you know he for u.s. troops in iraq he quickly rose through the ranks of al qaeda he was released from u.s. prison in iraq and then went on to join islamic states and prior to the formation of illness or al johnny was a senior member of islamic state in iraq so after he became the leader of this right there was an attempt to rebrand the terror group if you like in two thousand and sixteen but despite this the the tactics used by this terror group women's large the same from torture to shelling residential areas and even allegations of using chemical weapons. well the fight against terrorism is also one of the topics president pearson tackled at the russia energy forum taking place now i must go i corresponded to me about shanghai joins me live from view well hi there what is it

that's been discussed. kate hi again well this event is called the russian energy week twenty seven teeing and the russian president vladimir putin needed plenty of energy to respond to many questions that were thrown at him about the most troubling international political issues mainly of course the difficulties in relations between washington and moscow and vladimir putin says that he believes the reason for this is that the russian u.s. relations at that point at this point sorry are being hostage to the internal political frictions inside the u.s. but still he believes that donald trump isn't a man who can ever be taken hostage and that mr trump will actually cope with it when it comes to the international threats that

a lot of our putin is most worried about you can guess it it is actually north korea because a lot of our putin is saying the country is actually just kilometers away from the washing border just take a listen to what the russian leader said about that. put you in north korea's nuclear ranges two hundred kilometers from the russian border where is the u.s. and where is north korea we are even more concerned than they are but those who are trying to speak to pyongyang from a position of strength only make the north korean regime stronger it's that simple . you mentioned syria and the efforts to fight terrorists there vladimir putin believes that the fight against terrorism and the syria peace process when it comes to was dealing with the u.s. is. quite challenging but still promising so there is still potential there despite all that has still a team between moscow and washington the russian president was also asked about the

upcoming visit of the saudi king to russia and relations between the gulf monarchy and moscow and here's what he said above that that's quite amusing to hear what this movie did in this movie. we're looking into the future with confidence as far as so do russian relations are concerned as well as russian relations with such countries as egypt jordan israel and with syria. but let's face. it it's always going to be the united states when it comes to its geopolitical interests do you worry that the saudis are using you with because earlier you said always will remain is there anything in the world that is so absolutely constant. despite all the politics this summit is mostly about energy oil in particular and you spoke with the secretary general what did he have to say.

kate indeed this summit was still mostly about energy issues but of course politics is always interfering with that when it comes to russia and saudi arabia again these were the two main powers that were behind the all production cut agreement by the opec countries and not opec countries that was struck december last year and then extended in may this year and i asked mr mohammad kindo about that despite all of the skepticism that some pundits are putting forward he is still very confident about the progress of the deal and the stability of the all market but most importantly what mr burke can do is pointing out the importance of a lot of putin personally and russia as part of this deal the importance in terms

of keeping these still deal story healthy that commitment other things the headway the progress of the green men and that's again something he praised the russian leader for i can tell you that we're going to listen to more bits of that interview later today so stay tune. in for to that any pertain can't live from the russian energy forms thank you very much and we'll be back with more news after this short break.

when i was told seemed wrong. we all just don't. get to shape our. culture. and in. the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. welcome back that danish prosecutors have released new details on the murder of swedish journalist kim wald they say an autopsy found at least fifteen stab wounds

to the limbless torso she was last seen on board the submarine of inventive peter madsen who's been charged with murder but he's also discovered videos of torture and murder of women on matson's computer for more on this we cannot cross to nora smith so the up more shocking revelations in this case i mean what more do we know . this is a really appalling story it's a terrible way for life to mirror art's really because of course the plot it's more like the plot of a scan dean war crime thriller than it is real life but it's a wealthy danish inventor who's accused of murdering a swedish journalist on board his homemade submarine came wolf we know it was just thirty years old and on the tenth of august she boarded peta madsen's submarine in copenhagen she is understood to have been interviewing him for a feature story that she was writing about him she didn't come home the. following day her boyfriend reported her missing meanwhile peter madsen himself was fished

out of the water by coast guards out of his submarine which had sunk prosecutors are now saying that it was sunk deliberately ten days later the revelations came a torso minus heads legs and arms was found floating in the water just off copenhagen and a couple of days later it was identified as being kim walls legs and head which prosecutors believe were cut off deliberately haven't been found blood was found inside matson's submarine police police also have said that the body was tampered with to make it sink a piece of manson a bit of background on him he's quite an idiosyncratic guy he's a danish aerospace engineering enthusiastic a private investor also and of course he had this submarine that he had built himself in the latest though from prosecutors it's been revealed that videos of wimmin being decapitated tortured and burned alive were found on

a hard drive in a workshop at peace of mind since house he insists that the video is one to his he said all the people use the workshop including and in turn who he's got working for him madsen says that wall died accidentally when she was hit by a heavy hatch door on his submarine he says he panicked and threw her overboard he insists that he didn't dismember her and he told the court that he had better see he's subsequently been charged with manslaughter but this is obviously an ongoing investigation. there's some graphic details there laura smith in london thank you very much indeed. for u.k. foreign secretary boris johnson has long been known for some of his controversial statements and actions however some say that this time he's gone too far is now promised a bright future for a libyan city if it clears up the dead bodies first ali boyko has a story. could you tell.

us how you see. these. are you do. you. remember who you believe to be you do. you review this is a pretty unwelcome reminder of a major stay in on britain's recent foreign policy decisions the libyan war was with the help of the u.k. the u.k. was a major partner in that french led intervention back in two thousand and eleven when the decision made when the decision was made to top of the government of good sassy britain was also a major sponsor of that military action the u.k. contributed over a billion pounds to the bombing campaign in libya and it's the problem that's been a good knowledge with by most of the leaders involved in that intervention is that

there was no planning for what happened afterwards so libya has undergone years of continued violence political chaos as rival factions fight against each other in the country perhaps the only consolation for those trying to mitigate the effects of this latest boris gaff is that it isn't likely to cause a huge diplomatic scandal simply because libya is in too much of a mess politically to respond to this there are two rival governments vying for power they have currently got bigger fish to fry than boris johnson's comments. for more on these and other stories. otherwise i'll be back at the top of the hour for the latest headlines.

america has a colony it's called white america and they overcharge them for stuff and now there's a disaster there leave them to rot and it's a failure of capitalism it's a failure of politics in washington it's a failure that we saw coming for decades and it's a failure coming to the shores of america.

welcome to a going underground special on the day the british prime minister to raise a may address is a tory party faithful in manchester she's also preparing to send troops more troops for the longest war in american history the war in afghanistan which is why we caught up with the former president of afghanistan hamid karzai at the central london undisclosed location. been an atrocity in less vegas

that scene making the headlines around the world it's always the ads oddly any of the thirty five thousand dead or wounded by shootings in the united states far more than military deaths or injuries in afghanistan but immediately after reports came up people suspected isis diaster symptomatic of the fear that extremism has no borders the tragic shooting in in the united states my condolences to the american people and especially sad incident we. feel their pain because we have gone straight to a lot and almost every day we can get a criticism of the bomber and ministrations response to violence in afghanistan in a moment but it's clear the president on trump as a candidate was talking about isolationism some said his response to terror in your country has been nuclear attack on your country apparently without even the permission of afghan authorities we don't want our country to be mohmed with.

huge. destruction of weapons and bombs we want peace in afghanistan and the united states can talk to us and to bring peace and stability and to defeat extremism. we have today so we have questions why and that is about who should be discussing how come there is more extremism and how to be addressed it. clearly bombings killing presidents violations of for sovereignty roseate or homes it'll have spent of people has not worked because we have more of it today there was the taliban there was this there was. no we have on top of it so how come in just a question we have him and we are seeking answers for these questions not more bombs you know the president or job realized some of the answers winning understood

that the obama administration and perhaps catalyzed eyes is in your country and that was that was the reason he used the bow. you understand that that was not the reason they used the bomb even if that was the reason we strongly people disagree with it. you cannot just throw your biggest bomb on a people. because you want to kill a few individuals. and enjoy in the environment into the village the air the water or the culture of those people know it is wrong but it isn't. even worse for that the ban wasn't even last for that they said this was to. indicate to north korea the us power short of a nuclear bomb whatever the purpose was. it was an atrocity on the afghan people.
