thank you. for the future. of the.

international. decision to impose direct rule in the wake of the region's independence vote simply protests all across spain the senate is expected to approve the sacking of the region's leadership on friday and while the will not be dissolved it will be stripped of its capacity to elect a president. walk alone together and the kaplan people had a chance to respond we saw the courting independence. but . i. sounded.

the people of the right to become an independent state. report him we propose that parliament suspends the proclamation of independence. graphically 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 and the dream took an unprecedented step and asked the national senate to depose that we are told now all attention's cattle and presidents called at the worst attack since franco's dictatorship if you reward over a with both attackers and a founders using similar arguments on each other. in a greatly irresponsible act christ all boundaries by announcing at effect a coup d'etat to oust a democratically elected government if this is a complete drive there is a coup thoughtful he's the one that have been you know followed by. mr bush

and his government. we're now applying five five because no government a tool in a democratic country can accept that the law will be ignored 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 side. independence was declared in the very messy way so i'm not surprised by what's happening is that we're a bit lost is the first time we found ourselves in such a situation there are people here doing demonstrations week after week and they don't talk about they only talk about some people that is doing other demonstrations but not the cut to the majority of the spanish senate still house to

approve the measure is presented by my treat and if it does counseling you know will remain a time in this in the moment at least till the next treason elections to take place within the next six months i do question our. barcelona. meantime the spanish foreign minister has caused outrage after suggesting that some of the videos of the police crackdown on cattle and photos were misleading i'm not saying that all are fake beatrice but some of them are and you know there has been a lot of alternative facts and fake news here. i. thought. i knew mercer videos of police using excessive force appeared on social media on the very day of the referendum many cases of were also caught on camera by our own

crews as well witness testimony. we're just helping the people because they were throwing them from up. the stairs and sewing them down to putting them probably here and seeking them so what is on the floor and there is a guy that. the person that's down. meanwhile there is at least one place in catalonia that doesn't want to leave spain the arran valley a small region in the pyrenees mountains claims that if catalonia breaks away from spain they will break away from catalonia has the right to do just that thanks to a law that was passed in twenty fifty. one on the idea that and as for our own valley is a unique territory within catalonia it is self-governing has its own institutions its own language and its own history in culture only nineteen percent of those who voted 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 did you know people are really afraid especially for the economy the economy of their own valley is a very different show because it is entirely dependent on tourism therefore any sense that we can see it makes people really afraid. so hot on the heels of catalonia as referendum two major italian regions overwhelmingly voted for greater autonomy on sunday here's what the leaders of long body and veneto said they're hoping for. some better link up we want to overcome the inability of europe to solve problems and face up to them by offering a new dimension that we want to 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 vinnitsa will not be the same as

before we want to initiate this in the mind of the democratic i'm compatible in line with the constitutional. the two votes the first of their kind in italy they are non-binding meaning they won't result in any transfer of power as however the two regions may now request greater economic independence from rome and some locals are unhappy at having to subsidise poor up parts of the country now even a toe and long body of italy's economic powerhouses ultimately accounting for almost a third of italy's entire g.d.p. they are home to the top tourism spots industry hotspots including milan and venice and university of milan politics professor medical bus sun he believes the map of europe will soon change dramatically i think we witness in really the disintegration of this kind of european order and 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 it cuts alone yeah. and spain break apart then a lot of things will happen there that will have a definitely a domino effect with damage so scotland and whole sort of other regions there might be easily thirty five to forty five new countries coming up. u.s. bike forces in syria have liberated the country's most lucrative oil field. located in the province of dead as a whole was captured by terrorists in twenty fourteen producing up to nine thousand barrels a day soon became a key money machine for the terror group of a syrian democratic forces have been fighting terrorists mostly on the eastern side of the euphrates river whereas syrian government troops backed by russian air

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 for our interests in brussels and ensures 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 fill my ego my ego is really full 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 unlike politicians have to understand i've been a businessman but i have good common sense in that business and i've told you and very 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 be dead 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. and 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 gary about the new czech leader's similarities to us president donald trump in some ways and certainly in the superficial ways he takes those boxes he's a billionaire he's been subject to control of the sea revels in blunt statements in other ways he's very odd like donald trump he's got many more years of big speech in government then trump will be in a leadership position he is someone who is officially part of 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 one 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 embrace of many things new. well lots of news

stories coming your way here on the program today on our international a bit of a warning careful next time you post something on facebook the social media giant. some people facing jail time full story and it. brings peace to the chicken hawks forcing you to fight the battle. to stop spreading tell you the gossip the tabloids but. i'll tell you. why.

public. when the ruling class is protect themselves. we can all middle of the room see. you. sharing your monday with us here on our you may think it's only the oath to use that can collect your post and all data compiled terrorist watch lists but the case of one activist and john list highlights that there are also other entities actively doing this sometimes causing very real problems for everyday people. 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 them were closed the activists 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 all sorts of various individuals databases popular with banks as well as the u.k. police. told us he was completely shocked when he learned he had been placed on a list of terrorists both rather distressed because this is not even the united nations it's not our government and living and their democracy life returns 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 me alienated or excluded and the united essential services after the issue of game publisher thomson reuters apologized to the activist and compensated his 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 my judit now was. well there are now a concern such data collecting a black listing could become more entrenched thanks to amendments to the data protection act a being discussed in parliament atop the u.k. officials even her majesty the queen have been singing the praises of this legislation the new law will ensure the united kingdom retains its well to notice regime protecting personal data including high standards of data protection and human rights innovation and ensure we can remain confident. the new legislation

will retain exemptions from the existing data protection act effectively allowing journalists buying and others through all collect data without your consent that means databases like reuters world check won't have to even inform you that they regard you as a crime risk no matter who else they share your information with global policy expert georgia mouli says the lack of control over the handling of personal data leaves ordinary people in a very vulnerable position. it is completely unacceptable that organizations can collect all manner of very personal data and use them malicious leigh 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 it within this legislation there is adequate protection for individuals. you know giving them some kind of recourse to challenge this the malicious use of such data. israeli police have arrested a palestinian man for a post he made on facebook. we posted a picture of himself at work wishing a good morning to his friends but a facebook incorrectly translated the post as attack and the police quickly got involved he was research shortly afterwards when they realized that there had been a large misunderstanding we spoke with the haaretz newspaper journalist gideon levy it has nothing to do not only was morally thirty but also wheezes.

legal to legal it's not only immoral it was illegal we just have to mention that he was released of the few hours so the scene 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 online and one activist wrote a facebook post mocking anti israel and this with a hash tag saw a chasm connected to it but was still arrested by israeli police. released him off to admitting they hadn't understood the song chasm of the case is less clear cut a nineteen year old who is charged with inciting violence for posts praising the palestinian uprising against israel and the 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 and she is awaiting a verdict which could get her eight years behind bars gideon levy again says that palestinians typically are often targeted for their political activity. as. and she went through all this 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 i mean poor me is only a poor hundreds of palestinians who i with weak or old 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 parliament part of the only because of the political activity so they are political prisoners that's the dark
