region is left in limbo. recently freed from islamic state. and the.

decision to impose direct rule. in the wake of the region's independence vote has led to yet more protests across spain the senate is expected to approve the sucking of the region's leadership. and while that will not be dissolved it will be stripped of its capacity to elect a president with reports. walk alone or stay together at the kaplan people had a chance to respond we saw those fully supporting independence and also those who want to be cashless but part of spain. probably independence leaders sounded better this in the beginning than the tone

change. the people of get lonia won the right to become an independent state trooper him but we propose that parliament suspends the proclamation of a dependants. we practically deciding the future of a nation is not a crime so here is what we have the region is stuck in limbo while the cattle a government has been and for weeks madrid took an unprecedented step and asked the national senate to depose that we are told. now that cattle and presidents called at their worst attack since franco's dictatorship if you reward over a with both attackers and the founders using similar arguments on each other. in a greatly irresponsible act christ all boundaries by announcing and in fact a coup d'etat to oust a democratically elected government if this is a complete dr there is a whole is the one that have been you know followed by. mr bush

and his government. were no applying five five because no government a tool in a democratic country can accept that the law will be ignored or violated or changed . the spanish government illegally proclaimed itself the representative of the catalans kaplan us or it is still think they could win local media speculation that the president could even officially proclaim independence this week but it seems ordinary catalans are the ones on the losing site. independence was declared in the very messy way so i'm not surprised by what's happening. we're a bit lost is the first time we found ourselves in such a situation there are people here doing them stray sions week after week and they don't talk about the only talk about some people that is doing other demonstrations but not. the majority of the spanish senate still has to approve the measure is

presented by my treats and if it does council will remain in time and ice in the moment at least till the next treason elections to take place within the next six months and then the question are. barcelona. meanwhile there is at least one place in catalonia that does not want to leave spain they are in a valley a small region in the pyrenees mountains claims that if catalonia breaks away from spain they in turn will break away from catalonia that has the right to do just that thanks to a war that was passed in twenty fifty. one and then as they are on valley is a unique territory within count alone it is self-governing has its own institutions its own language and its own history in culture only nineteen percent of those who vote is in the referendum in favor of catalan independence that i will show that each other our right to self-determination was unanimously approved by the cattle and parliament and by the spanish state we could become a part of france or china tomorrow for instance if we chose to do so but we won't

do it we want to remain a part of catalonia and spain. people are really afraid especially for the economy the economy of their own valley is very free general because it is entirely dependent on tourism therefore and we can see it makes people really afraid. meanwhile the spanish foreign minister has caused outrage after suggesting some of the videos of the police crackdown on cattle and voters were misleading. i'm not saying that all fake but some of them are and you know there has been no alternative facts and you haven't is here i numerous videos of police using excessive force appeared on social media on the day of the referendum many cases of violence were also called on camera by our own crews as well witness testimony i were just helping the people because they were throwing them from up. the stairs and throwing them down upon them probably here and someone is on the floor and

there is a guy that jumps on the person that's down. the hall on the heels of catalonia is referendum two major italian regions overwhelmingly voted for greater autonomy on sunday people in lombardy and veneto voted ninety eight and ninety five percent respectively in favor of taking more power from rome in the non-binding referendums is what the leaders of the two regions are hoping for. so. we want to overcome the inability of europe to solve problems and face up to them by offering a new dimension we want to a more united stronger europe one that takes into account the specifics of territories this is what can be simply called the europe of regions were not a page of history will be written in any case village so will not be the same as before we want to initiate this in the manner of the democratic. and compatible in

line with the constitutional right to vote saw the first of a kind since the italian institutional referendum of one thousand nine hundred forty six and with a more than fifty percent turnout in vernet over the vote there is considered to be valid although the votes are non-binding meaning they won't result in any transfer of power as they are expected to send a strong signal to rome and part of that being that locals are unhappy at having to subsidise poorer parts of the country now veneto and lombardi are two of italy's economic powerhouses together both regions account for almost a third of italy's g.d.p. and almost a quarter of the nation's electorate in fact they are home to top tourism and industry hotspots including the lan and venice and university of maryland politics professor. believes that map of europe will soon change dramatically. i think we witness in really the disintegration of this kind of european order and

that there will be a confederation in europe clearly like ten or fifteen years from now but not based on the nation states. that we know right if cuts alone yeah. and spain apart then a lot of things will happen there that will have a definitely a domino effect with family to scotland and old sort of other regions there might be easily thirty five to forty five new countries coming up. the u.s. backed forces in syria have liberated the country's most lucrative oil fields from my soul. located in the province of dead as was captured by terrorists in twenty fourteen producing up to nine thousand barrels a day it became a key money machine for the terror group the syrian a democratic forces have been fighting terrorists mostly on the eastern side of the euphrates river whereas syrian troops backed by russia air support are on

a separate anti eisold mission mainly to the west of the river they have now almost liberated the provincial capital and these exclusive pictures are from the recently captured town of my again. our big spoke with local residents about life under the siege of i said. i still militants declared jihad a bit more than a month ago this was a general mobilization and everyone had to participate in the established age of those subject to mobilization is from twenty to thirty years do they take over young pino because many of them escaped the militants confiscated all state property for example i am a civil servant so they took my house and turned it into a living room where headquarters the living room was used to gather women why do they collect women in the living where there are hostages where did they come from they were brought from everywhere they were kidnapped i mean what i say the militants married them when one of the militants died. the second married his woman . that would go to milton's drove also jurors from desir an army

into cages and put them into the water put into the water to drown they were lowered into the water to motives first just to attend classes and go to a mosque when they found simmons and police during the prayer they beat us to do with intercourse to the police station once i was standing in a park and watching the children playing city caught me in which me eight times. in neighboring iraq continues to run a campaign to bring russian speaking children back home after their parents went missing that over killed fighting for islamic state and one boys our aid is about to be reunited with his family. it was quite a. lot of. money and you know. it's.

just. what. was this was you on deal with mr sulu and what what's just cut what do you know. what the. news ministry. is they. don't have even. you know it was. a kid you really. do want to see in. the time of the sun.

you sure this. a billionaire populist dubbed it the czech republic's donald trump is on course to becoming the country's next prime minister a party of under bobbish one the parliamentary elections by a landslide over the weekend. now explaining why the comparisons with the american president can be drawn. i bet most of you have never been bothered by the heartbeat of political life in prague the time has come i'll tell you why it's worth checking out how the czech republic voted for its next parliament meet the man set to become the country's new leader representing the winners a n o anti immigrant anti-establishment. i'm ready to voice our interests in brussels and ensure that because we have to fight for progs interests first brussels interest second understood dammit does he have any relatives with the last dame trump even if not mr bob as well deserves check donald

trump title given by the media despite already being part of the system as finance minister for a while no way this guy has kept up the image of being beyond the system i was working for two years twenty hours a day before the election i met thirty thousand people i don't need to go my ego's really fool mr bobbish and his billions make him the second richest man in this country journalists call him a media mogul but his business toys vary from farms to chemical plants no golf courses though bobbish is younger than trump he's got time to catch up oh wait he's focused on the new job with confidence from the state like a business we went home and i'm like politicians have to understand i've been a businessman but i have good common sense in that business and i've told you and ray bobbish is not a fan of migrants or the way brussels deals with them for now there is no place for migrants in europe we will soon begin the construction of

a great great wall along our southern border to add and it is obvious there is no check donald trump without rumors of him being a kremlin favorite mr bobbish has been trying to throw that off he even wrote an open letter to the washington post maybe thanks to it we won't hear the media go on about russia helping their man when the check polls maybe. we spoke to political analyst adam garry about the new leader's similarities to try. and some ways and certainly in the superficial ways he takes those boxes he's a billionaire he's been subject to control the sea rebels and statements in other ways he's very odd like donald trump he's got many more years of experience in government than trump will be in a leadership position he is someone who is officially paul to the establishment key

thing with this election is to realize that all of the policies that really won the top spots with the exception of the party that came in second the the conservatives the center right. everyone is really on of the new policies that so what this election represents is very much trumped like in the sense that it's a rejection of everything old and an embrace of many things new israeli police arrested a palestinian man for making a good morning greeting on facebook the problem is the auto translate sent the wrong message back in a. local blog selling you on the idea that dropping bombs brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battles that. the new socks try to tell you that every

gossip and probably most importantly. as we tell you pull it out by. the hawks that we all. want. but will these games in a moment. but. it's reality. they may change the russian economy and the russian financial system and i know a lot of people who are looking for work creative ways to get better research.

could have you with us today for your world news you may think it's only the all thorough tease that can collect your personal data around compiled terrorist block lists but the case of one activist and journalist highlights that there are also other entities actively doing this sometimes causing very real problems for unsuspecting individuals now imagine that suddenly your bank account is closed and you cannot pay your bills and then it's also the mystery not knowing why or what's wrong with me why why are they closing down my account and not only my personal accounts my family accounts and my business accounts all of that were closed the actress you just saw to me was mistakenly designated as a terrorist by the database world check run by thomson reuters it's a subscription only service providing various dossiers on various individuals databases popular with banks as well as u.k.

police. told us he was completely shocked when he learned he had been placed on a list of terrorists. for three other distress because this is not even the united nations it's not our government and living and their democracy like britain you don't expect something like this to happen if you are not a criminal and if there is nothing against you legally then this should not be you should you should not be proscribed you should not be eliminated already excluded and the united essential services after the issue again published thomson reuters apologized to the activist uncompensated expenses however this is not an isolated case on another occasion the company had to issue an apology for a similar mistake involving u.k. based radio presenter was there are now concerns such data collecting blacklisting could be given a boost by a new data protection bill being discussed in parliament top u.k. officials and even her majesty the queen have been singing the praises of the

legislation. the new law will ensure the united kingdom retains its wealth last regime protecting personal data including high standards of data protection and human rights innovation and ensure we can remain confident our data say it's feared the new legislation will enable journalists bangsa and others to collect data without people's consent and databases like reuters world check wouldn't have to inform you that they regard you as a crime risk no matter whom else they share this information with a global policy expert georgia mouli says the lack of control of a corporation's handling of personal data has ordinary people flailing in the way. it is completely unacceptable that organizations can collect all manner of very personal data and use them maliciously against.

individuals and thereby damage their reputations damage their careers even damage their livelihood how we able to control. what corporations are doing how are we able to ensure that individuals have some means of recourse against the use of data against them i don't see that within this legislation there is adequate protection for individuals. you know giving them some kind of recourse to challenge this this malicious use of such data. is really police have arrested a palestinian man for his post on facebook. posted a picture of himself at work wishing a good morning to his friends after facebook in correctly translated the post attack israeli police promptly got involved officers thought he was threatening to

carry out an attack he was released shortly thereafter when it all turned out to have been a big misunderstanding and we spoke with a journalist for the horrific newspaper gideon levy. has that seem to not only was more really easy but also ways. legal to legal it's looked only immoral it was illegal we just have to mention that he was released of the few hours so didn't develop too far but it is a baby laugh and it's just an indication to the it's you know are the palestinians without any respect to none of their basic rights this is not the first time a palestinian is in trouble with the law over a mobs made online and one activist wrote a facebook post mocking anti israel arsonists with a hash tag sarcasm in it but was still arrested by israeli police authorities

released him after they admitted that they didn't understand the sarcasm though other cases are less clear cut and one thousand year old was charged with inciting violence for posts praising the palestinian uprising against israel and a palestinian poet has been under house arrest since twenty fifteen for sharing a video of her reading a poem called resist my people resist them she is awaiting a verdict which could get her up to eight years in prison or get in livery again says palestinians are often targeted for their political activity. as anybody and she went through all these only for poor i'm sure old quite a you know sent boy i can tell you oh and even if it's not an innocent boy my main point is only a poor hundreds of palestinians who i will tweak or what is it is called an administrative detention which is being arrested the result a trial which doesn't exist in a democracy hundreds of them including some members of bottom end of the only

because of the political activity so they are political prisoners that's the dark side of the occupation this is also international thanks for joining us here on this monday morning in moscow and we're back in about thirty minutes.

in case you're new to the game this is how it works the economy is built around quite. confirmation from washington to washington. the media the media over voters elected the businessman to run this country business equals power boom bust it's not business as usual it's business like it's never been done before . well i'll go. with the.

give me no must is this shunted on the not to run eventually get the last of him but to be theone i nurse most notable could borrow borrow some just. yeah use a little for it because i'm going to tie it up for us hoping to get much part of the a lot of them off of it you must move on though she just put our studio to the militia and got very little off the country a. little denim of him to get his b. food out of this dr b. this got beat but i mean. did he look good your d.d. and. get delivered up was.

what politicians do such as you think to. put themselves on the law if they get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president or injury. or something i want to. have to go right to be first to see what will before three of them or can't be good that. i'm interested always in the waters in the college. last question. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you were a south and taken your last bang turn. here at the top to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry for me i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each. but then my feeling started to change you talked about

more like it was. fun to feel those that didn't like to question are. they promised to never be like it's one does not need a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consumed with this one. and we now want to take. the same that mainstream media has met its. hello and welcome to crossfire where all things are considered i'm peter lavelle we're here in southern russia in salt attending the paul di discussion club and our topic is u.s. russia relations and the state of the world.

my guests are anatol lieven he's a professor at georgetown university in qatar as well as author of several books including america right or wrong we also have richard stockwell he's an expert at valdai discussion club as well as author and professor at the university of kent and we have james sure he is an associate fellow at chatham house as well as author of hard diplomacy and soft coersion russia's influence abroad or a gentleman to start our discussion about the first go to an atoll a lot of people them and the current tragic. situation with us russian relations i mean with good reason but does it matter it is so much as it used to should we lived. so much because things go awol and it's certainly highly regrettable and in my view largely unnecessary but exactly we do need to keep in

mind that compared to the cold war where you had soviet forces in the middle of germany you had nuclear forces on trigger alert and you had to genuinely clash radically clashing world ideologies this is a much much smaller dispute but in the same time the me if you look at mainstream media their threat level seems to be equal if no worse well you're a journalist i used to be a journalist to do newspapers television advertising has to be so right in what journalist ever made a name by playing down a proverb more or a conflict but in my view i mean the areas of dispute local post imperial problems in the former soviet union of a kind which we've seen in formal western them as well and they are of course disputes but in my view heidi to an extent limited disputes.
