think a bit more like a public news via that didn't work with anybody in the world to view for free the ah. separately the college pushed him on a release from kathleen to me, but is expected at an extradition hearing that next month. it follows his attention overnight after almost 4 years on the run from this punish government. as european lawmakers brought the rest a disgrace less than again of his job, biden's approval ratings. slum falling abraham devices, policies with the us presidents now and less popular than his predecessor and possible future rival, donald trump. and this germany said to choose that next transfer this weekend off

to 16 years of angular health, we begin our special election coverage. ah . you're watching the news announcing to national with me you national bob oliver. hello and welcome to the program they for president of spain's, catalonia region has been released from italian custody callous pushed him or detained on saturday under an arrest warrant from spain, which has been pursuing the separatist leader for nearly 4 years for his role and an outlawed independence referendum. so the rest as possible because pushed him on, had been stripped of immunity as a european parliament, and p is wanted on a range of charges including sedition. hundreds gathered in vos alone. i'll fly

they ton and conceal it on friday to protect the detention and demand. his release . demonstrators also took to the trace of the conflict capital. later in the evening, where john list evelina have changed, has been following the protest. i'm at the moment the teacher was as soon as i read yesterday and already today you can hear me really was happening 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

your opinion makers have condemned the rest, correspondent alia the trend. and andrew salma discussed reaction to the bonds in europe, where politicians have branded his arrest at his grace. the spanish disgrace just doesn't stop. neither does the european disgrace. solidarity of carlos put more the spanish state is abusing the you arrest war. and by using it in this way, allow people to exercise their democrats 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 catalan 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,

that italian court is deciding the next steps in the cases 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 is that possible if he was supposed to be protected by parliamentary immunity as a member of the european parliament? well, earlier this year and march, in fact mister put them on. and his allies worse stripped of that parliamentary immunity by other m a peace, even though a 3rd of them were firmly against it. and that was a very 10th day. and that parliament building d at these dates of europe and parliament lost already unity. but the europe in parliament lot more than that, but he didn't got the results. it is also launching. reese goes on. well,

we may be opening the door to other member states to secure any peace from representing minorities for probably to go is not easy. so it would be a tremendous tragic, but i haven't. the government should not open court as we heard him leave exposure . mom has been wanted by the spanish authorities for several years now and always stemming from castle and you paid for independence. let's ride back to the events 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 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 victim toil spain of the middle of the 20th century. the can i remember how it all ended so now catalonia never became independent and even it's autonomy. busy was taken away by madrid,

some of the independent theaters were jailed, but calls pushed him on was able to flee spain. however, the spanish thought he decided to change their tactics. and let's see what the italian court has to say about that. and on an ox, from the independence campaign movement being to national commission of european citizens things, dialogues impossible until the spanish government properly listened to the people of catalonia. here we need to, we need to the point that the company teach and they agreed on their strategy. to try to dialogue with the spanish state. that doesn't mean them imply that the talent movement move mondays in favor of a strategy because actually many of us would think that the smoke much to talk with somebody that doesn't recognize you as a nation. doesn't bryce since 2017, when someone acceptance to stop the government of colonial. i'm on tried to stick

with the spain. if nothing has to be the chief thing, a train for citizens i'm in the snow chunk is a wretched facial i. mission and repression is a reality, is a concept that if it's happening a colonial european citizens at the moment less than a year to taking off his jo binders. popularity has already a slum cibola down to his predecessor and possible rival and the next election. donald trump interest 3 months biden's ratings have collapsed by more than 10 percentage points. well, that next wave donald 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, afghanistan washington's 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 u. s. 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 disruption divides the 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 ah. ready 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. no embarrassing emails have sat as to which don't make good

reading for the u. s. presidents in bottled son hunter by it, and they revealed that he asked for a $2000000.00 annual salary to help and look billions of dollars of live in assets for his and under the obama administration. he is on his english. donald hunter biden made a reputation for himself of living out of the wildest fantasies of a hard core rock and roll up. but to maintain this well brother, untamed lifestyle, it costs a pretty penny. and a new email leak proposed 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 that 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 libya 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 or 40 had money frozen. he said he has access to highest level in china . he can help there simply, wow, 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 negative is, are that he is alcohol lick, drug addict, kicked out of us army for cocaine. chasing low class 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 leak 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 vinyl standing is collapsing across the board. inflation is out of control. to put in perspective the last family member of

a democrat president who lobbied on behalf of libya, billy carter only received 220 files and 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 of your republican watching history, or you pray on the downfall of joe biden. you don't want people to be talking about this too much right now. things aren't 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 waive 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 fishy, as you in general, assembly will hear from a delegate from august on, but it won't be tolerable, requested representative. instead taking the phone monday will be the representative from the government. that was also the last month i was senior correspondent moran county of reports now from campbell. but what the office of the un secretary general said is what has been expected in line. but 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 where 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 would 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 tattered buds request. so the situation is such that the person speaking for of got to start on stage before the entire world will be someone who has almost no influence of the events of god. this time it will be someone who was appointed by the former government by a president who fled the country who resigned and whose government promptly collapsed in the matter of weeks facing a taliban onslaught. but, but it is a very difficult choice. it is a political minefield for the web because obviously they want to send the right signature signals. they don't want to get 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 tile about directed towards the asking them to make the government as inclusive as possible. the government that the taliban announced me a 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 gotta 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 the actual recognition,

they bought the taliban to show that they are 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 seeing 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 goose of the former regime sunday will say german via has take their country into a new chapter as they decide who will replace chancellor angle of michael ashley leaves office up to 16 years and power. the

candidates held their final debate on saturday, but at a rally shortly before the event, michael was booed for banking. one of the candidates all mean lashes as well as her success. for others, it's a thorn farewell which has seen people getting creative to say goodbye to the chancellor at toymaker produced $500.00 special edition, teddy baz image. they feature market with trademark bulb, and her signature, diamond shaped hand gesture. and in berlin. people gathered to paint careful portraits of the going leda. marco's korea has been full of ups and downs as she is called a raft of major problems from the damage to being spied owned by the united states are europe correspondent, look, looks back at demarco era. after almost 16 years in charge, the time has come for anglo merkel to step down as german chancellor. drawing the

curtain on a political korea 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 the position longer in postwar, germany, anglo myrtle. how the chief, something that most politicians happened at the time of leaving office. she has remained popular with a large chunk of 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 unemployment figures from spike and to high saw angle america reelected in 2009 then came the collapse of grease and the fear that could never pay any of its awful debts.

not pushed the single currency close to the brink and a tidal wave of criticism crushing down on merkel and her government 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. but i have always made it clear to the u. s. president, buying amongst friends is not acceptable to me. one of the biggest moments of angle americans tenure 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 in it states. these are going to invite the indoor, so we have not seen migrant glows in such forms before. and what we are seeing right now has no relevance to the presence room. 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 bottom. the stag, becoming the largest opposition party to her government, making things difficult to her when addressing the chamber. the

me that being no easy route to the finish line for angular medical though government's policies on the covert, pandemic sets off a small but vocal opposition that at one point threatened to storm the boom, the stag, the mm the mm mm. mm. the retreat from off chemist on provided the chancellor with more problems in her final weeks with accusations of rifts within her cabinet, over how best to evacuate people from cobble and then issues over who had been able to get on german planes. is that the 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. she prepares to vacate the chancellor's office just behind me. alarm bells ringing loudly and angular merkel of christian democratic union party as they slump to record low in the polls. the chancellor's final address to the bond, the stock, which became a 10 to promote c d. u. candidate arm and lush. it, her success ended in a barrage of hackles. but it's not just about foreign policy and nato in europe. oh, my god, i would if i have been with this german boom,

descent for with 30 is here is out of the democracy. and this is exactly what will be discussed me despite the obvious challenges, the miracle years will come down is 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. internationally. germany has taken a far more prominent role under medical leadership than it is had in modern times. one of the big concerns right now though, is that with no clear successes to angle america, in terms of policy, certainly international clout, what will become of those years of stability that was seen when to her rein feature all of her r, t, berlin, and marco's big police because she still failed to when you consider just

a snapshot of what she has stared, they use power house, sir over the last decade and have jury had time in charge marker has worked with for american presidents for french leaders and fine british prime ministers from george w bush to joe biden. from shock, she rocked her manual my cohen and from tony black to boris johnson. multiple was dominated headlines in that time, including i've got this done, syria and yemen show. so played a key role to help save the euro currency out of the 2008 financial collapse. and in the aftermath of the look down spearheaded unprecedented trillion euro you wide pandemic recovery fund. so what is her legacy? as far as john is on this traits are concerned? we've been task like it's been a long time. i've experienced a 3 chance please. i called schmidt and merkel. it's strange when you're $54.00 and you've only had 3 chancellor. i think she did

a lot of good things for the country and also made a lot of strange decisions with c. d. u is not my parties, 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. but 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 steam. and he is how the election process will work over the we can fast what it can do, not directly truth a transfer limit has to decide the next parliament. the false balance is for a candidate in that constituency, and there are $299.00 constituencies across the country. the 2nd, validate for political policy and there are $47.00 of them running for seeds,

but only parties with one and 5 percent of the nationwide can enter the been de stunk. if a very, to take her would be chancellor position is arman long shots knuckles successor. as part of the christian democrats. he's a defender of immigration policies which has tightened on asylum rules in recent years. and he was germany to maintain a strong and independent foreign policy, but he has suffered a number of gods during his pre election campaign. europe today, it's more news an international in about 7 minutes of next space our documentary, the man across the board of the 3rd to focus bittman ball here. but me

ha ha. oh i . oh god me. ah, i understand. i ah, the ah, the.
