throw it out right off rather than give it to somebody who could use it. and then that person is not going to buy it. the catalogs separate his liter colors, put them on this release from custody in italy. what is expected at an extradition hearing that next month that follows his detention over night after almost 4 years on the run from the spanish government as european lawmakers brown, the arrest, a disgrace that's been in office, but jo biden's approval rating slumps following a raft of devices, policies, but the u. s. president now less popular that his predecessor and possible future rival donald trump was germany set to to, to the next chancellor. this weekend, after 16 years of angle american to beheld. we begin our special election coverage

. ah, and i just have 1 in the morning on saturday september the 25th here in moscow fundings calling bry. welcome to your world news this weekend. first for you then the former president of spain, catalonia region, has been released from italian custody. colors pushed him on was detained on thursday, under an arrest warrant from spain, which has been to ceiling. the separatist lead, if in any 4 years, for his role in an outlawed independence referendum, the arrest was possible because pushed him had been stripped of immunity as a european parliament. m. p. is wanted on a range of charges including sedition. hundreds gathered in barcelona, outside the italian consulate on friday to protest the detention and demand his release demonstrates as also took to the streets of the capital and capital. later in the evening, where journalists evelina kept chin skags has been following the protest. i,

i there as soon as i read yesterday. and today you can hear me read the company at the moment. it's not correct. they are also using the excuse to show their willingness to have independence and to show their willingness separate from saying european lawmakers has condemned the arrest correspondent alia, betraying her. and under farmer discussed the reaction to the events in europe, where politicians have branded the arrest as a disgrace. the spanish disgrace just doesn't stop. neither does the european disgrace. solidarity with carlos put him on the spanish state is abusing the you

arrest war. and by using it in this way, allowing people to exercise their democratic right to vote is not a crime. there is only one way to still be insistent repression of the states. amnesty self determination and independence total supports mr. president, there's definitely could be the turning point in the fate of cadillac independence theater calls pushed him on and it could be the end of freedom for him. he was arrested upon arrival on the italian island of sardinia, where he was supposed to take part and a meeting that's about capital one, full court, just cultural stuff. nothing to do with independent well on friday. and italian court is deciding the next steps in the case of mister, put them on. and one of the very likely scenarios is expedition to spain, where he's wanted on several charges, including misuse of funds and sedition,

which could mean 25 years behind bars for the former cadillac independence leader. and you may wonder, how's that possible if he was supposed to be protected by parliamentary immunity as a member of the european parliament? well, earlier this year in march, in fact mister put him on and his allies worse stripped of that parliamentary immunity by other m e peace. even though a 3rd of them were firmly against it. and that was a very intense day in that parliament building. he should be at these dates of europe in parliament and long story unity but the european parliament lot more than that, but he didn't get the results. it is also launching. reese goes on. well, we may be opening the door to other member states to prosecute any peace from representing minority this for probably to go. you know,

the cities would be a tremendous expressive and the government should not open quite as we heard him leaving fisherman's be monitored by the spanish authorities for several years now. and always stemming from capital. and you paid for independence wide back to the event that were happening exactly 4 years ago in september 2017. when the catalan regional parliament led by calls put them on, initiated a referendum, other regions independence. it went on despite the constitutional court in madrid, declaring it illegal. i remember how a vast majority of voters back then supported independence. even though the unionists decided to boycott that referendum. and it all resulted in a very brutal crack down on the independence movement, with voters being severely beaten by police politicians being jailed at that time. some people were even saying that these events were giving flashbacks of victory

toil spain, of the middle of the 20th century. the the and remember how it all ended so now catalonia never became independent and even its autonomy. busy was taken away by madrid, some of the independent leaders were jailed, but calls pushed him on, was able to flee spain. however, the spanish stuart, he decided to change their tactics. and let's see what the italian court has to say

about that. ox from the independence campaign. movement the international commission of european citizens things the dialogues impossible until the spanish government properly listened to the people of catalonia. here we need to, we need to be point company titian's day. agreed to the strategy that is to try to dialogue with the spanish state. that doesn't mean i'm imply that the catalan movement, the move on the scene pharaoh is a strategy because actually many of us, we think that goes much to talk with somebody that doesn't recognize you as a nation and doesn't rise since 2017, when the car was put on one except to stop the indefinite of colonial. i was on tried to stick with the same. if nothing has been the chief thing i've trained, she deserves the job as a right to the sensational mission and repression is

a reality is to have a concept that if it's happening a colonial european citizens at the moment less than a year after taking office jo biden's popularity has already slumped to below that of his predecessor and possible arrival at the next election. donald trump, and just 3 months by the ratings have collapsed by more than 10 percentage points. more on that next to donal quarter. a pandemic spiraling out of control historic military defeat and a border crisis to boot. americans are starting to think things weren't as bad as they thought under former president. donald trump, the mounting issues on all fronts of lead to the surprise conclusion that trump is now seen as being as good a president as biden suggesting the honeymoon is being replaced with buyer's remorse. first on the list app, dana, stan, washington shameful defeat. that concluded its 20 year long war was the last straw . for many americans, the disastrous withdrawal of us troops and surrendering of millions of dollars of

military tax to the taliban. had republicans and democrats alike demanding the biden administration. be held accountable in the the the afghan a stand might feel like a world away from america, but there is no shortage of problems at home under biden's administration. earlier

this month, biden announced a number of vaccine testing and mask mandates, which is proving to be the latest american political spac connected to the pandemic effecting around 2 thirds of the us workforce. it wasn't long before the cries that biden is violating people's freedom of choice, were heard. 24 republican state attorney generals, or even threatening lawsuits really disrupt and divides country. it increases the division in terms of vaccination when we should all be together along the campaign trail biden promised to make the country southern border a more humane place. instead, thousands of migrants are living in horrific condition. like under the del rio international bridge, the immigration crisis is getting worse as thousands more asylum seekers come knocking at the us his door. and to top it all off. biden's approach hasn't changed much from that of the trump administrations. kids are still being put in cages. and despite biden's many promises to would be green card holders,

many migrants are being deported back home without getting their chance at asylum. ah, with a track record like biden's and not even a whole year in office. it's no wonder over half of america thinks the country is on the wrong track. go ahead a close to the home to more embarrassing e mails of surface, which don't make good reading for the us. presidents embattled son hunter bite, and they revealed that he asked for a $2000000.00 annual salary to help unlock billions of dollars of libyan assets frozen under the obama administration. here's our tv goes down of hunter biden.

made a reputation for himself of living out of the wildest fantasies of a hardcore rock and roll up. but to maintain this well brother, untamed lifestyle, it costs a pretty penny. and a new email lead to ports to shed light on just one of hunter biden's attempted households. he apparently offered to help with recovering some $15000000000.00 in libya as foreign funds frozen by the obama administration per phone conversation. i met with number 2 son. he wants to per year retainer plus plus plus success fees. he wants to have his own people. it can be close circle of people for confidentiality. so this is part of an email exchange between 2 democratic party donors with business interest in the middle east, dated year 2015, the to very much interested in getting their hands on more market dot the overseas coffers were apparently mewling whether joe biden 2nd born could pull his weight

and deliver his positives. ah, he is chairman of you and will food program, son of number 2, who has libby a file, access the state treasury, business partner, secretary of state, john forbes, kerry son. and since he travels with dad, he is connected everywhere in europe and asia. when we look at duffy and libby investment authority had money frozen. he said he has access to highest level in china. he can help there simply, wow, the man, good kick, open almost any door upstairs, which makes him an extremely valuable asset. so wonder what they had to say against using his services. his negatives are that he is out a holic drug addict kicked out of us army for cocaine. chasing low class oak is constantly needs money, liquidity problems, and many more headaches. the man has

a lawyers degree was the son of then vice president. he makes millions yearly and still his reputation rests firmly on being a regular with low class focus. alas, though this little libyan scheme never came to fruition, apparently due to reasons well unknown. this latest email link on the other hand, did send quite a few ripples. nothing to see your folks totally legit. we're not getting many more answers, but suddenly we're getting a lot more questions at the same time that biased and it's collapse and across the board. inflation is out of control. to put it in perspective, the last family member of a democrat president who lobbied on behalf of libya. billy carter only received 225000 for his efforts. joe biden has been adamant that they have never discussed his sons clients, yet. still nepotism is the word on many people's lips. this is going to go down the

memory hole for most of the mainstream media. and to be honest from a pure actually knows perspective from a, you know, an opposition point of view. if you're a republican watching this or you, or you pray on the downfall of joe biden, you don't want people to be talking about this too much right now. things are going very, very well for joe biden. it's a total cluster in congress, which is supposed to be his strength among among strength. there is a seemingly weakly new disasters on the southern border. inflation is a real problem and we're probably going to see yet another coven wave come through . and that's really been what's driving his poll numbers down, up till now. so as far as hunter biden doing hunter biden things, let alone things that happened so many years ago. if you're a public and that's fine, it's something to make me me about. but you mostly want to be focusing on any of the issues that i just laid out because the american people really care about them . those are kitchen table in a way that 100 isn't this years here in general assembly, we'll hear from

a delegate from afghanistan, but it won't be the taliban requested representative. instead taking the floor a monday will be the representative from the government that was ousted last month . of senior correspondent, i guess the f reports from cobble but what the office of the un secretary general said is what has been expected in line. what with what had been expected ever since we found out that the taliban has requested that they change. i've got his dad's representative at the you went to someone who they appointed, but the, you were in these, we all know a slow moving bureaucratic machine at the best of times. and in this instance, with me a weeks to go until the us general assembly with things very hectic there, it is unlikely that the diplomat and the council that they'll go tripping over themselves in order to approve the kind of bands request. so the situation is such

that the person speaking for of data starts on stage before the entire world will be someone who has almost no influence over events. it have got a sudden it'll be someone who was appointed by the former government by a president who fled the country who resigned and whose government promptly collapsed in a matter of weeks facing a taliban onslaught. but, but it is a very difficult choice. it is a political mind field for the us because obviously they want to send the right signal signal. they don't want to go rushing over themselves in order to approve the taliban request. especially given that a lot of many countries around the world are very angry with the taliban right now, because they had appealed that was an international effort aimed at the taliban, directed towards the asking them to make the government as inclusive as possible. the government that the taliban announced near weeks ago again,

was very hard line filled with terror released individuals. it was a message we won and we'll do whatever we want. on the other hand, people understand that the reality is that the taliban has seized the entirety of, of got to stop it control more of a gotten started more thoroughly than had been done in more than half a century. so it is vital that the international community engages with the taliban, but on their terms, they don't want to send the signal to other warlords and fanatical organizations, religious organizations around the world. that force of arms can get you and to dash for recognition. they bought the taliban to show that they're mature enough to be represented on the world stage. they must also work with them to make sure that the humanitarian situation here doesn't get any worse than it already is. with more than 10000000 people on the verge of starvation alternately, it does seem that on the 27th of september, there will be

a somewhat ridiculous seen that the un where the person representing of got to start will have almost new ties. new political current does to it, he will be a ghost of the former regime. this is your world update from our se, there's a big weekend ahead for germany. it's time to choose a new chancellor. as the sunsets on the era of anglo merkel will look at legacy and our special election coverage is less than 2 minutes. ah, i ah, with me

ah ah, i use when it comes to the rise of china, most of the commentary focuses on such things as strategic balance and the west, so called rules based order. however, what is missing in the discussion is the rise of a civilization that challenges western gemini, is the west prepared for this arc of history? ah, sunday,

we'll see german voters take that country into a new chapter as they decide who will replace the chancellor anglo merkel. the she leaves off is off the 16 is empower. the candidates held the final debate on thursday, but at a rather shortly before the event merkel was booed for backing. one of the candidate summoned lashes as a successor. for others, though, it's a fond farewell for to see people getting creative, to say good bye to their chancellor. to make a produced $500.00 special edition teddy bears in her image featuring miracles, trademark bob and her signature diamond shave a hand gesture, and the berlin people gathered to paint colorful portraits of the outgoing liter. a medical careers been full of ups and downs says that she's tackled a raft of major problems from the pandemic to being spied on by the united states. now, europe correspondent looked back at the merkel era after almost 16 years in charge

. the time has come for angle america to step down as german chancellor, drawing the curtain on a political career of over 3 decades, coming to office in 2005. she's the 3rd longest serving german chancellor of old time, only her mentor helmet. cole held a position longer in postwar, germany, anglo myrtle have achieved something that most politicians haven't at the time of leaving office. she has remained popular with a large chunk of the voters. no small achievement. when you look at the challenges she's had to face me, germany weathered the financial storm that began with the collapse of layman brothers back in 2008 better than most countries. a 480000000000 euro bailout for the banks and managing to keep on employment figures from spiking to high saw angle american reelected in 2009. then came the collapse of grief

and the fear that could never pay any of it to lawful debts. pushed the single currency close to the brink and a tidal wave of criticism crushing down on merkel and her government's view. 2013. so whistleblower. edward snowden reveal that the united states had kept detailed tubs on senior german officials, including chancellor merkel, her phone being tapped by washington. protests on the streets of germany were followed up with more diplomatic comment from the chancellor. have always made it clear to the u. s. president, buying among friends is not acceptable. mm. with the biggest moments of anglo miracles, 10, you came in 2015 with the refugee crisis. her statement via shuffle. so we can do it. she did a policy which saw hundreds of thousands of refugees fleeing the conflict and syria

coming here to germany. something which saw anglo merkel revered by some reviled by others. each daughter guns, i simply say that germany is a strong country. we have already managed so many things we can do it whenever there is something sending, you know, way will need to cross that bridge, which is need to work. and it says, these are going to invite the indoor. so we have not seen migrant lows in such forms before and what we are seeing right now has no relevance to the present rule . when this is merkel repeat constantly, we will cope with it, but she is not offered a structured solution yet. on to the chancellor medical actions in regard to refugees change the makeup of the german parliament is opposition to her policies on asylum allowed the anti migrant alternative for germany party to win seats in the bond. the stag, becoming the largest opposition party to her government, and making things difficult to her when addressing the chamber. i

me that be no easy route to the finish line for angular medical though. the government's policies on the covert pandemic set off a small but vocal opposition that at one point threatened to storm the bottom to stuck. the me me the me, the retreat from i'm going to stand provided the chancellor with more problems in

her final weeks with accusations of rifts within her cabinets over how best to evacuate people from cobble. and then issues over who had been able to get on german planes. because ultimately, if we will continue the evacuation operation for as long as possible in order to help afghans who worked with us for security for freedom, for the rule of law and development to leave the country. we currently have a very pragmatic procedure. we only carry out the security check upon entry to the country. we have now identified 4 cases of people who had already been deported. border now in germany with, as she prepared to vacate the chancellor's office just behind me. alarm bells ringing loudly and angle miracles, christiy, and democratic union party as they slump to record lows in the polls. the chancellor's final address to the bone, the stag, which became a attempt to promote the d. you candidate arm and lush, it as her successor ended in a barrage of hackles. rod isn't,

it's not just about foreign policy and nato in europe. my thought is, what if i have been with this german boon de sac for with he is here is out of the democracy and this is exactly what will be discussed me. despite the obvious challenges, the merkel years will go down as a time of relative stability for most germans. her policies have made it easier for families to balance. children with korea's employment figures have remained steady while the economy is enviable in the u. into nationally, germany has taken a far more prominent role under miracles leadership than it is had in modern times . one of the big concerns right now though, is that with no clear successor to angle america in terms of policy or certainly international clout, what will become of those years of stability that was seen under her reign,

feature all of her r, t, berlin and merkle is a big political shoes to fill 2 when you consider just a snapshot of what she's still use. power house through, over the last decade at a half during her time in charge. merkel has worked with for american presidents for french leaders and 5 british prime ministers from george w to joe biden, from jacques chirac to emmanuel. i'm a chrome, i'm from tony blair to boris johnson. multiple wars have dominated headlines in that time. of course, including afghanistan, syria and yemen. she also played a key role in helping to save the euro currency off of the 2008 financial collapse . and in the aftermath of the locked down, she spearheaded an unprecedented trillion euro e u wide pandemic recovery fund. so what is her legacy? as far as germans on the street are concerned? we've been out to ask it's been a long time. i've experienced 3 chances. i call schmidt and merkel. it's strange

when you're $54.00 and you've only had 3 chancellor general. i think she did a lot of good things for the country and also made a lot of strange decisions with c. d. you is not my party was but i think she can happily retire. i will miss mrs. mccullough because i'm not satisfied with the current candidates. i would have preferred her. i think mrs. miracle has done a good job. very charismatic. she's accepted everywhere in the world. not to city you border, you can admire the woman for longer than too long. mrs. merkel should have gone 4 years ago. now. she has lost her way. she did a lot of good in the 12 years before, but now you can see that she's out of the me. okay, to help me make sense for the numbers when they start coming in late on sunday. here's how the election process will work over the weekend. voters don't directly choose a chancellor. instead they get 2 votes to decide the next parliament. the 1st ballots is for a candidate in that constituency. and there are 20900 constituencies across germany . the 2nd ballot is for

a political party and there are $47.00 of them running the seats this time round. but only parties with more than 5 percent of the vote nationwide can enter the next one. this tug at another one of those in the running then this front runner is overlap. shops who's currently the finance minister. he's a member of the social democrats in foreign parts in the morning coalition, raising the minimum wage is one of his election pledges. hello, he has been tainted by the fraud scandal surrounding the financial multinational wildcard something that happened on his watch. we got plenty more coverage between now and the end of those results coming in at the end of the weekend. so that's it for me though. thanks for watching. oh you know, life it's diverse. that's what makes it interesting. when you have a monoculture, it's dangerously model chrome.
