prison on bail but this case is not over he could be sent back to spain on charges of misusing public funds. also coming up with a poison daughter of a russian a former russian spy speaks out in a statement via british police paul says that she's recovering well after the nerve agent attack on her and her father i'll ask our correspondents in london and moscow what her testimony could mean for the case that has sparked a diplomatic crisis. in . sierra leone swears in its new president if you will against him but his defeated opponent says he will challenge the election result is. it's good to have you with us it could be the last night in a german prison for former kind of one leader karl is poised to ma he's been in german custody since last month when he was arrested on a warrant issued by spain madrid wants him extradited to face charges including rebellion and corruption for his role in last year's independence referendum in catalonia. and now a german court has ruled wood that he cannot be extradited on rebellion charges the court said that he could be extradited on corruption charges

sentences of decades in prison he could still be sent home to face a lesser charge of misusing public funds a move which would bar spanish authorities from trying him on another crime but the court also agreed to free put them on bail pending a decision on that lesser charge. of the court says that mr bush to mock can be released only on certain conditions and we've got to get those listed here for you they are. for seventy five thousand euros in bail must be paid he is not allowed to leave germany and he has to report once a week to the court just a little thirty's know that he is still respecting those conditions are let's take this over now to my colleague tom a sparrow he joins us now he's been following this story so almost walk us through the court's reasoning for its ruling today the key element brant of this case all along in fact since mr porter demond was arrested was to find out whether there were any similarities between the charges in spain and charges here in germany specifically the two charges that we've already mentioned rebellion on the one hand and misappropriation of pub

those charges were rebellion and misuse of public funds so now it's up to the court to see if that's actually satisfaction . rather than necessary substance to actually implement this request for extradition. i mean another word for that is treason right there saying that he has done and he has done something an act that goes against the state constitution of spain exactly and there is the argument from this prosecutor that german law that high treason means that. there had been recognition of that there would be violence so that there would be violence as a result they still sedition and they said that through him deciding to hold this. independence referendum last october and he was aware that that would result in violence so he knew what the consequences of his actions could be this is much more than just a matter for the courts this is also politicized and it is explosive on the e.u. level we've got the german government and the e.u. saying this is not our problem this is not our fears how long can that last exactly so far we've seen germany rating trying to stand by and you try

is accused of rebellion and misuse of public funds that's for organizing and independence referendum in catalonia in october now the german court ruled on thursday that extradition was not possible on the basis of that rebellion charge but the man could still be extradited misuse of public funds charge. and we'll be bringing you more on that in the next hour. all right moving on to some sports news now and in friday's been as legal action relief for hanover as they finally end a five game losing streak against verda braman hand over broke the deadlock when margin harnick slipped the ball in at the near post hungry for more hangover made it to before halftime thanks to phoenix process. and it was this creative lot this started oh and over hold on for the two one win and are now nine points clear of the relegation zone. well two struggling clubs face off in the fight to avoid relegation cologne sit in seventeenth place but a win against minds tonight would bring them within three points of their rivals in sixteenth and cologne had better win if they want to keep hold of their first div

order his release on bail but could still send him back to spain to face a lesser case of misusing public funds. also coming up the poisoned daughter of an ex russian spy speaks out in a statement that british police at u.t.s. group also she's recovering well after the nerve agent attack on her and her father i'll ask her correspondents in london and moscow what her testimony could mean for the case that sparked a diplomatic crisis belonging. to . sierra leone swears in its new president julius a mite of bio but his defeated opponent says he will challenge the election results . and the perfect sync case of jack is purely american prosecutors seek to deport the elderly nazi prison guard their last outstanding suspect in more crimes from world war two. i am. great to have you along everyone always start we're breaking developments right here in germany a court has ruled that the former callen present karla's put him up can be. released on bail pending a decision on his extradition to spain the surprise announcement reverses an earlier decision which refused to grant put him on bail as he was dee

he's free to go but as you said the court is still looking at this charge of misappropriation of public funds that could lead to his extradition and that process is still ongoing he this how all happened a few hours ago right he's still presumably in the jail house why is that what is he perhaps for parent for here you know what we can only speculate but it looks like he's probably you know he probably has to have some discussions with his lawyers about exactly where he's going to be the court says that. mr bustamante has provided you with ortiz with an address where he's going to stay in germany and that's the requirement he has to stay within the territory of germany pending this decision on the extradition case but the location has not been made public at this moment the media are awaiting there outside the courthouse and there's a lot of international interest in this not just from spain of course so it's quite possible in fact i think it rather likely that mr pidgen what's going to seize the chichi you know stand in the limelight all through today is a victory for him this court ruling a

warrant issued by spain which called for his extradition on charges of rebellion and misuse of public funds well yesterday your german court ruled out extraditing which want on rebellion charges so now he. out on bail pending a court decision on whether to extradite him on the second lesser charge well across which one had a defiant message for spain the moment he was released he called for dialogue between madrid and separatist leaders and urged spain to abandon its attempts to prosecute them let's take a listen. for the immediate release for all of my colleagues still in the spanish reasons each a shame for europe who have well let me go prisoners. i always throw in european democracy based on the will of the people suppression of powers peace and human rights does kind of you mock recy using recently spain. are i tentatively spoke of correspondent thomas sparrow joins us now to break down what this all means thomas jail certainly hasn't dampened his a fighting spirit so where does he go from here not very far at least on the short term he has already announced that he's on his way to lan

that was proffered against mr push for more naming of embezzle meant of the funds that we used public funds that we used to allow what the spanish government considers an unconstitutional referendum to be held although this court ruling in germany suggests well that is grounds those are grounds for him potentially to be extradited but they say they need more information the question now will be what mr push them all does next he will emerge can emerge from the prison the earliest on friday but then the question is what will he do next the deadline under the european arrest warrant scheme for his case to reach combination is in late may the question will be what he does next u.s. president donald trump has invoked lines from his presidential campaign as a very off script during an event about tax cuts he referred to a large group of migrants who been traveling through mexico in what's being called a caravan trump suggested that the group is besieged with violence and sexual assault. to what he said in two thousand and fifteen when he claimed that mexican immigrants of rapists john heilemann

rebellion but that they're sticking to the possibility of extraditing put jamal for misuse of public funds that's right and the extradition warrant has been issued on that basis but the court said we can. free mr project while we get more information that we need to actually look at that that charge see that it is substantial let's hear what the court spokes person actually said about this. stuff and not the state criminal division has determined that the charge is a violent and not similar enough under german law to make the statute of high treason applicable to that. but the court has determined that pushed him on as the initiator of the referendum can be held accountable for acts of violence committed on that day that they hadn't so there are conditions he can't leave germany he has to report regularly to police and pay a bail of seventy five thousand euros but his lawyers say they want to get on and do that quickly so it's quite possible that mr predictable could be released today ok and what about the man himself or how is college put small reacting to all this well as he says would e

he could still be sent home to face a lesser charge of misusing public funds.hat would bar spanish authorities from trying him for another crime. the court also agreed to free him on bail pending a decision on that lesser charge. we want to pull in our correspondent, thomas sparrow, good evening to you. spain wants to see germany extradite him, does today's decision, politicize this case, or could it have the opposite effect? thomas: the case was already politicized since the very moment he was arrested in the northern german state. there's no doubt about that. he was arrested, the case was described as a legal one but, also a political problem or dilemma for german authorities. this is still the case with this decision we are talking about. it just makes this perhaps clearer from a legal standpoint. certainly, politically, it is a very important and challenging situation. >> we know now that he is due for release on certain conditions, what exactly are they? thomas: one of them you already mentioned. the euro bail, that is one of the key conditions but he also

those charges were rebellion and misuse of public funds.now it is up to the court to see if there is actually satisfactory, or rather, necessary substance to actually implement this request of extradition. brent: we say rebellion, another word for that is treason, right? they say he has done something, an act, that has gone against the constitution of spain. kate: exactly. and there is the argument from this prosecutor that under german law, that high treason means that there has been recognition, or that it would be violence as a result of this decision. and they have said that through him deciding to hold this catalan independence referendum last october, he was aware that that would result in violence. brent: so he knew with the consequences of his actions could be. this is just more than a matter for the courts,ight? is is also politicized and explosive on an eu level. we have the german government and the eu saying this is not our problems, it is not our fares. how long can that last. kate: we have seen -- not our affairs. how long can

prison sentence in spain but he could still be sent home to face it lesser charge of misusing public funds he's been granted bail pending pending a final decision on a lesser charge. malaysia's prime minister has dissolved parliament ahead of elections expected to be held next month the polls are a major task for embattled prime minister and a job. by multibillion dollar corruption scandal. health officials in gaza say that three palestinians have been injured by israeli army fire on the second day of planned mass demonstrations at the gaza israeli border palestinian activists have been setting fire to tires along the border fence and hope that the thick black smoke will block the view of israeli snipers and tanks on the other side israeli government has warned for its part that it won't be changing its rules of engagement after last week's deadly clashes which saw israeli soldiers opening fire on hundreds of protesters in total twenty two palestinians have been killed in gaza over the past week and our correspondent tanya kramer met a family whose son was among them and who was shot last

with the statutory offenses listed in the european arrest warrant namely rebellion and misuse of public funds correspond to the offenses under german law of high treason and misappropriation. we came to the conclusion that there is a correspondence. the decision about what happens next in particular whether to issue an extradition warrant is now down to the swiss because don't hire regional coolant or german prosecutors say there are equivalent charges of rebellion and misuse of public funds here in germany but carl's push to moms legal team contests that i spoke to have both gone schonberg his german lawyer a short while ago and i ask him what grounds he has for contesting push the most extradition to spain. in jim along we we have a similar. norm but. the hurdle is extremely high that the perpetrator must exercise violence oss ratan was weiland and there is not the slightest proof. cautiously as a prosecutor has said yes he himself is peaceful. that there was some boylan's and this was foreseeable that's enough not enough for german law and about the embezzlement. they claim at times it's a

that the rebellion charges were not continued the other charge the lesser charge of misuse of public funds that still continues and the court still has to decide whether mr ford on will be extradited on that second case so for now he will not be going very far ok so free but not entirely free at the moment that's correct that's that's exactly the case he will obviously now have a much bigger role and now that he's left prison we expect that to be to be the case to explain what his proposals will be again and what his criticisms are so he will suddenly become much more public if you will but for now he will certainly remain in germany that's a decision that the court announced all right what does this politically mean for britain because spain has been hoping to see burling carry out its extradition requests if you ask politicians here in berlin they will probably say that that's for the courts to decide that the german government has basically followed spain's madrid's stance saying that the situation in catalonia is to be decided under the spanish constitution and legal frame that's been

had his ups and downs and could always have another up to stem this flow but we'll look at the public fundnd people hanging out and a pretty big hedge fund in the scheme of things even if it's not a private investor fund. >> you're saying the private hedge fund manager, the guy that we have come to know as being one of the biggest star hedge fund managers on wall street is in the process of becoming a money manager that's just no longer going to manage any private money at all. >> i think that that's a distinct possibility he, so far, has not said this is what he is doing he is maintaining kind of the confidence that he is well-known for in the current portfolio but his investors, 2-thirds of the money is being pulled, aren't leaving him with much of a choice unless he does something. >> to be fair, though, he probably is in the position now where he is trying to convince investors that he is still an intriguing guy to invest with. he has the public vehicle. trading at a big discount. we know that buying back stock. his own money is invested in it. he's focused on returns and not being a s

equivalence between the charges of rebellion that mr person was facing in spain and also a misuse of public funds for using public money to carry out the unconstitutional referendum on what grounds are you contesting his extradition. first of all it's as it must be double criminality in exhibition cases like this one. in german a lot we we have a similar. norm but. the hurdle is extremely high in that the perpetrator must. exercise violence oss retton was violence and there was not the slightest proof. cautiously as a prosecutor said yes he himself is peaceful but. there was some boylan's and this was foreseeable that's enough not enough for german law and about the embezzlement. they claim at times it's a corruption. there is no fact in the arrest warrant. of spain at all it's only saying that the referendum was speight period you're saying that there are no there are no facts the matter arrest warrant doesn't germany have to respect the rights of the european arrest warrant that you member states have put in place to make sure that the rule of law is debate across europe. absolutely but that's

that was proffered against mr push for more namely of embezzle meant of the funds that we used public funds that were used to allow what the spanish government considers an unconstitutional referendum to be held although this court ruling in germany suggests well that is grounds those are grounds for him potentially to be extradited but they say they need more information the question now will be what mr push them all does next he will emerge can emerge from the prison the earliest on friday but then the question is what will he do next the deadline under the european arrest warrant scheme for his case to reach combination is in late may the question will be what he does next . the tit for tat trade standoff between the world's two largest economies is escalating donald trump is now what it is is ministration to consider imposing another one hundred billion dollars worth of tyrus on chinese goods mr trump fired the first salvo last month by imposing terrace on steel and aluminum imports largely he said to protect u.s. industry from cheaper chinese metals beijing responded on monday with imp

he's now being released on bail but could still be extradited on a lesser charge of this using public funds dominic casey has the latest from there live. this decision by the german court means that mr bush more will soon be able to walk free from the prison annoyance to that he's been held in for more than a week now since being picked up by german law enforcement agencies on the twenty fifth of march he has to post a bail of seventy five thousand euros and he can't leave germany while the case is still active the point. to make here is that this ruling states that the charge of sedition or rebellion is one that is not recognized in german law and therefore has been thrown out by the german court but the other charge that was profit against mr push for more namely of embezzle meant of the funds that we used public funds that were used to allow what the spanish government considers an unconstitutional referendum to be held over this court ruling in germany suggest well that is grounds those are grounds for him potentially to be extradited but they say they need more information the question

he's also being accused of misuse of public funds now interesting it's interesting enough though the spanish treasury minister has said that while there was no national misuse of public funds so they are looking into questions whether the cattle on the authorities have actually used misused public entities such as the schools that we used as voting centers that brings into question also other issues as well as that of rebellion their son to go live for us in madrid sign a thank you. china's most popular social media network is reversing its decision to ban gay content on that site sign away vote that is china's equivalent of twitter a huge backlash when it blocked videos and comments related to homosexuality the company said it was trying to comply with cybersecurity laws adrian brown has more from beijing. well reversals like this are very rare in china now things all came to a head on friday when sino weibo which is china's equivalent of twitter announced it was going to delete all gay themed content now this provoked a predictable outcry there were letters angry posts hashtags one

whether the statutory offenses listed in the european arrest warrant namely rebellion and misuse of public funds correspond to the offenses under german law high treason and misappropriation. we came to the conclusion that there is a correspondent. just over a week ago had traveled to finland from his self-imposed exile in belgium to attend a conference and meet makers. facing arrest by finish off dorothy's he tried to return to belgium but police detained him shortly after he crossed the danish german border ever since handfuls of his supporters have been demonstrating outside the northern german detention center where he's now being held. but we got him there if you remember that i see extradition is a betrayal of the european union's values its approach to more as a politician with ideals that oppose those of the spanish government a bit of difference is the basis of our coexistence in europe and they are within europe. the case now aligns with. a regional court if its judges approved extradition his lawyers could take the matter to germany's constitutional court so it could be weeks possibly

for why he should be extradited to spain one is sedition or rebellion the other is the misuse of public funds the german prosecutor had to decide whether there was an equivalent. equivalence in german law to these two charges and the prosecutor now decided that there was indeed such an equivalence in other words puts him on would also be liable for charges in germany for these things and has now applied for puts them on three moneths in custody pending extradition and also for this extradition in fact to be executed pablo extradition is becoming more real possibility for pushed him up if he is extradited what can we expect to happen in spain let's not forget that these charges are incredibly serious i mean which of man could be facing up to thirty years in prison we've already seen that other members former members of his government which were part of the regional governments of the late last year are in different prisons in spain so he will more than likely be extradited be extradited to madrid he won't go to barcelona more than the highest probability and then there will be of course a tria

that was issued by spain which called for his extradition on charges of rebellion and misuse of public funds yesterday german court ruled out extraditing porridge tomorrow on rebellion charges the court is still considering whether or not to extradite him on the second lesser charge. after twelve nights behind bars carlist posed him on savored his first steps of freedom. basking in the cheers of his supporters. but he knows it is a long road ahead for him and the other separatist leaders facing the glare of the spanish courts i climb for the immediate release for all of my colleagues still in the spanish reasons it's a shame for europe to have political prisoners. i always thrust into a feeling democracy based on the will of the people separation of power us peace and human rights and that's kind of the mark recy he's seen recently spain opposed to man says he will fight the corruption charges still hanging overhead and called for dialogue with spain. but the madrid government is enormous for talk a spokesman stressing that the charges were being brought by independent judges not politicians

put him on is not allowed to leave germany a possible extradition to spain for alleged misuse of public funds is not off the table yet put him on says he's not planning on getting in touch with german politicians while here but he hopes that being back in the spotlight might kick start fresh talks with madrid told that situation. before they look i really we are reading the impression that he got on the previous one to start with a lot when the spanish authorities for the ball is now back in muddy on what a course court the spanish prime minister is facing growing calls from inside his own party for a new approach to negotiations with catalan politicians for now the figurehead of the independence movement can sit back and enjoy his newly gained freedom in berlin . this was. us the us now where the state of texas has begun sending the national guard to secure the border with mexico it follows a call by president to deploy up to four thousand members of the national guard to fight drug trafficking and illegal immigration in the region says he wanted the deployments to last until progress has be

or high treason what he is still facing though is actually dition on the grounds of misuse of public funds with one of the lesser charges that he is facing in spain so he could indeed see him still return back to to face the courts in madrid but for now he said he's going to make berlin his base did he give any idea of what he plans to do while he is here in berlin. very unclear as i said at the moment but while he was in brussels i was that when he first arrived back in brussels he became somewhat of a celebrity that every time that he went for a haircut or went to the operator there was a bit of a media frenzy so i'm sure that he'll be taking the time to make the most of that essentially because in a way this is playing into his hands it means that he is still in the public eye and he can still use his platform to to argue on an international. in front of the international media that his case is a just a minute yes he will but that will likely happen here again in berlin show it doesn't bill thank you very much for joining us. to the us now where the state of texas has begun sending the

though is whether or not he can be said back to spain for another charge he's facing misuse of public funds so he's by no means safe from being sent back to spain so far he said he'll wait it out here and by then he knows exactly what's going to happen should the case go his way he said he then plans to return back to boucher where he's been in exile since late last year or in charlotte we do have a short clip of speaking to journalists short time ago let's have a listen. do you think that with. other countries. where the case of car bombs last year there were. things like you see that it was lucky just. to show. you the consequences of the breach but you. travel around the bureaus to explain what's going on. in the space. all right so karl has pushed him on clearly wanting to draw attention to the catalan cause charlotte what is the status of the independence movement in the region yeah there was some speculation that this would actually play some wars in two colors pushing one's hands being detained here in germany we haven't had much from him in belgium in several months since it was dec
