as spain escalated its response to the crisis in march this year. nine cata la n this year. there are now nine catalan leaders held without charge in spanishjails. catalan leaders held without charge in spanish jails. the yellow ribbon has become a recognisable symbol of the campaign to free them. in girona, a weekly vigil is held calling for their release. despite massive protests in catalonia and criticism abroad, the spanish government denies that those in jail spanish government denies that those injailare spanish government denies that those injail are political spanish government denies that those in jail are political prisoners. catalans are deeply split on independence. since the autumn, many have taken to the streets to insist that catalonia is part of spain and that they have the right to be both catalan and spanish. those sentiments are especially strong in the region's industrial cities. i am on my way to l'hospitalet, on the outskirts of the catalan capital, barcelona. this area has a long history of migration from the rest of spain. mo

this pa rt catalonia in north—east spain. once catalan as well stop many still speak catalan and feel loyal to those south of the border. so when the spanish authorities declared the catalan referendum illegal, the people of elna stepped in to help. some of those involved agreed to talk to us on the condition of anonymity. the operation was closely guarded, even in a small town like elna, the conspirators‘ identities we re elna, the conspirators‘ identities were kept secret from each other. the operation lasted months, culminating on the night before the vote. spain had refused to allow voters to use official ballot boxes, and ballot papers were seized. so replacements were printed in secret in elna. ballot boxes were brought in from china and hidden in the countryside around the town. everything needed to hold the referendum was then driven across the border to volunteers waiting in spain. some here will talk openly about their involvement. they are proud that a few volunteers from elna could outwit the spanish police. this

this is spain, for example. spain currently has gibraltar. well, temporarily it's british, but gibraltar, we consider it to be an opaque non-collaborating territory and criminal organizations used gibraltar to actually hide their assets or the owners of assets. in the investigations we have undertaken, the first investigations done by the civil guard and the police are investigations that are directly aimed at eradicating the thieves in law. i'm sure the interpreter said it in english. these thieves in law are really the lowest part of the criminal organization. they are the leaders, but as in the '90s, they were the ones that protected businesses or under whose protection under their protection wealth was created with over time especially as of 2000, 2001. they start to act differently because they started doing this. and the thieves in law have tattoos all over them. they can't do any of these legitimizing activities. you've got to remove your touches. you have to be a normal person, so i always speak in masculine. i say he because they are

from spain comes, they will openly support spain.y support spainm immigration from spain comes, they will openly support spain. it would be an interesting atmosphere inside catalonia but how do you see it affecting pique in particular on the pitch? i think he is a professional and he has shown that even people booing him from the stands makes him stronger pulls up he likes to represent an idea of being a professional apart from being cata la n professional apart from being catalan so i think in the end he will play very well and we have a conscience in spain that with the squad spain has at the moment they can compete against brazil or germany which are at this moment the main favourites. so we have the conscience that winning again a world cup or at least being in a semifinal or eventually a final is perfectly possible with this team boss up thank you and enjoy the tournament. that was from radio catalonia, this is a tournament like no other for catalonia, this is a tournament like no otherfor spain, opening up against neighbours po

they will finish third place spain and portugal will go through spain wins to group because they have scored one more goals than portugal have and i came with just praise iran for for their world cup performance and also by rocket because they place in good stuff for iran to get four points out of that group i think that is that that's really fantastic so this is how looks now we have the four flags position these are the two qualifying teams from a group a and group b. and we now know how this is all going to play out because he's going to be the group a win if you're a guy taking on portugal they will play in sochi that will be on june thirtieth it'll be an evening kickoff and nine pm and some consolation for russia may have lost today but they get that fixture in their home ground of the luzhniki eighty thousand plus spectators yes they have got spain italy on july first the five think of that's a good time. lots of people hurrying out of the office i think sneaking off early to go and enjoy that one but i mean it's a fantastic game and it's the best place russia could have picked

if you look at spain spain exports far more to goods and services far more to the u.k. and vice versa you know they they they need us we just need to stand up and and trust our inabilities a bit more so i think there's there's life outside the e.u. so i'm shifting and in terms of gibraltar's place in the negotiations i mean ireland is dominating negotiations the border issue in ireland. i suppose the single biggest issue in the negotiations that may be the straw that breaks the camel's back but you brought a hardly figures in your estimation do you think that the environment for gibraltar . softly softly catches barbara with island you have to willing parties i believe between northern and southern ireland if they don't want a hard border but then you have the e.u. you don't want to make it easy to have this soft border because that will encourage other people to leave so funny enough where we're negotiating with the e.u. that i believe that it's not in their interest to have an answer. if you take it here it's not too willing parties we're willing to always willing to

piece he's either the fourth or he's someone from them and it really is very very compact spain very patient build a place in the build up there waiting for the opportunity they've had only opportunities no big chances and all of them fall in for the silver unfortunately one of them could afford for gee it will cost he's clinical but silver has had all three opportunities. but they haven't big big open big other changes spain are doing what they do they're trying to play through the middle of being forced why they're not getting behind that. kind of getting cross is that it would mean what do you do if you're here or do you just have faith in the system you said is that plan a plan b. plan c. do you just keep banging against that door and hope that it opens because it seems like you've run a happy to play that game yeah it's this it's this is at the moment his plan a if he goes to plan b. it's not changing the way they're playing it's changing the play is so personality so he's changed to players in the first game. and it's kind of working ok spains will always be up against this no

over the last two years spain has been rocked by the territorial crisis over catalonia. despite the protests clamping down hard on the separatist movement blocked it from seceding after catalonia declared independence. but roy safe pair of hands fumbled the latest scandal last week as more than two dozen business people including his party's former treasurer were sentenced on charges of corruption afterwards the socialist party put forward a motion to vote him from office is that he's worth anything. are you going to resign mr roy are you going to keep on clinging to the position weakening democracy and weakening the quality of the government in the end these were charges he could no longer answer opening the way for yet another set of elections and possibly another vulnerable government to shop al-jazeera. let's go back to our correspondent in the back and now he is joining us live from the capital madrid so naïve could what's happened today need to more elections in spain. hypothetically yes it could indeed i don't think the specter of elections is entirely gone away i

with the score one all spain were back on top of the group. meanwhile against iran a wonder goal from a cut put portugal ahead before the break it was their first of the tournament not scored by christiane. once again advantage portugal. ronaldo got his chance in the second half when he stepped up for a penalty but missed leaving the door open for iran. i. mean rocco netted another three yousef in a city ten minutes from time and spain's chances of topping the group looked over. but spain germany evelyn injury time thanks to jagow us bus lines minute ruled it offside but v.a.r. confirmed it counted to all the final score portugal though still lead the group. but kareem ansari followed confronted a last gasp penalty for iran to home portugal to a draw sending spain back to the top of group b. . so after those performances press how do you re spain and portugal stances ok so portugal they face uruguay this is going to be a tall order for portugal you know it's clear that christian or not it was a major star on that side so it's going to be their

with time ticking away, spain conjured up some magic. to wave it away. until another assistant back in moscow decided to look again. the result, was a goal and for spain it was secured. so who would join in the last 16? could it be iran for the first time? they did not want to say goodbye to russia just yet. but they had to get onside very quickly. portugal, like spain, needed to avoid defeat and said about their task in spectacular fashion. ricardo... not all a happy dough and iran's managers mood would get worse when rinaldo if that in the box. no penalty originally, though that decision would soon change. but would rinaldo deliver? the answer may just surprise you. would rinaldo deliver? the answer mayjust surprise you. and his game could've got a whole lot worse, that referees picking up the challenge, he would only get a yellow card. iran would still get their own piece of assistant and penalty. hope for iran! and that

the least political crisis began this week spain's political crisis may be ending it in fact spain may soon have a new prime minister arianna or hoyt faces a new confidence vote on friday in the wake of a corruption scandal plaguing his party last week a court found were poised conservative people's party had benefited from a bribery for years for a tory has dismissed the calls for his resignation as politically motivated unless he resigns he is likely to become the first spanish prime minister to lose a new confidence vote but. well the numbers in parliament appear to be against marianna roy but today a senior member of his people's party said roy will not step down. you know with my knowledge will more time one more time are there have been cases of corruption in the popular party i acknowledge that it's again but a popular party with this thousands and thousands of members is not a corrupt party but whether you like it or not. thanks or if in when roy loses tomorrow the socialist party leader pedro sanchez is positioned to be the winner he watched the move against rory's government

from the aquarius, the first sight this morning of spain.t's week—long odyssey across the mediterranean at an end. finally in valencia was a port prepared to welcome the ship. there was a moment ofjoy for those on board. they were rescued from the seas off libya and because of them italy and malta had turned the aquarius away. only spain stepped in and saying countries should provide those in distress a safe haven. by taking in this boat, spain's new socialist government wants to show that a new type of migration policy for europe as possible. one where you can both control your borders and respect human rights. italy did provide two coast guard ships to help aquarius transport the 630 people to spain. from the number, 80 women and 100 children. some making the riskyjourney with families, many unaccompanied. spain will now give them all free medical care and a 45—day permit to stay while they make their asylum claims. italy says it will continue to prevent all private rescue boats from using its ports. if italy is going to refuse to entry, a

held if we lose against spain. but i would not also be in haven't we should beat spain i think we both are going to qualify. because they are two of the strongest teams in the competition it is the pick of the year of the bunch isn't it at the moment what do you make here of the fact that spain sent their manager yesterday just two days before this match and now a sink is a strange situation i don't know if spain second the manager if the manager second self we. there we everything happened between himself and real madrid i feel sorry for the manager of course because the you. when we did team for the last. two years and of course he would deserve to be with the team but i also understand the position of. of the for the ration they just gave him a new contract for the future if you threw out i read that the president of the federation was informed a couple of minutes before the club makes official is a strange process what i feel is that it is a national team with such such a quality and such a maturity and such an

what will the arrival of a socialist government in spain mean for spain and its space in the e.u.'s specially when it comes to issues like the catalan separatist challenge and what his team has of her own economy you have seen for example in particular that sometimes sometimes prime minister can conduct very conservative and very productive economy policies so i think on that front you can be tracked the campaign on the issues of course much more difficult match to crack when you're so tennis player uncertain it could very well be that it's also would like to cut down on your moral kaname but the problem is that they might not all the ins nation and the rest of spain right and then by then make it stronger that story will be very difficult and very very long time ok looking at the bigger picture now daniel the e.u. no doubt has been reeling since the double shock of the bracks referendum and the election of donald trump in the us mccoy and merkel we know have been very ambitious have been very keen on you know putting out a positive vision for the block but can the e.u. realistical

spain. can they still win it even with these problems do you think the state scored the mentality the quality is still you know for spying to win the world cup something that you have done t. sold us a lot of silly comment here just by now. they didn't all go into the but i want to get a few not only on this this heat i'm thinking there's a diet spittle biased a bit of a biased about opposite of this article scientists out there are going to handle. it all. and when you. think we're. finally a man that you know very well we had these grand farewell boss along in the come now andres iniesta another legend like yourself. he's last woke up. how important will it be for him to go out in style. but. by no other mean a loss but. going to steal the. most of it. even. while continuing. thank you so much for joining me on the. spying ok. thank you. not we're in the heart of moscow a fantastic restaurant called and pavel the head chef is we've made the world coke is here in moscow lots of people are g

the german operated vessel lifeline refused entry by spain and italy. the ngo has warned the situation on board is critical. you know situation it's getting worse and i would say we also. see this night. he needs. to clean so in the last minutes he could be. seasick italy's hardline interior minister wants to cut off the flow of migrants before they even put to sea he's been in libya calling for reception centers to screen arrivals in neighboring chad and sudan. the target government will support the need to protect the external borders south of libya because libya i mean clearly alone cannot sustain the economic and social costs of this immigration and. libya also wants to see the migrants dealt with elsewhere. we do that if. we agree with the europeans on many matters related to illegal immigration. however we categorically reject the existence of any migrants inside libya and the cool their human. friends now says a european solution is near malta is reportedly willing to open its ports to the migrants the ngos says they will run out of food and wate

route from libya to get to spain that route is simply too long but spain has taken in thousands in the past in fact in just the last thirty six hours more than one thousand migrants have washed ashore in southern spain in more than seventy rickety fishing vessels and even rubber dinghies and so in a sense that for the relief organizations here to receive migrants is nothing new what has made a big change in this situation this is why the aquarius and its arrival is so important is because it has become a political football what really is now at stake is that european countries must debate what their migration policy is going to be going forward because talking this morning to representatives from doctors without borders and from s.o.s. . they say that on a human level on a humanitarian level this situation is simply unacceptable human beings cannot be left to drift amid the urban flow of politics for more than a week and what they also say is logistically their work will become impossible if each time they pick up migrants from the coast of libya they then have to come fifteen hundred

talking about it just what a day or so ago spain coach a day before the world cup so. it's it's a story that's going to just carry on from this work of this absolutely no doubt about that we we talked about it all day yesterday we're going to continue talking about it today and tomorrow spain play the european champions tribals the neighbors from portugal with a shirt burned out of place in spain. and of course we're going to talk about it tomorrow and after the games going to talk about regardless of the result this is not going to go away this is something where i think this is the spanish players who are very used to winning big trophies and competing right to the end of every tournament they they really feel that this is some annoyance that could have been without being very interesting you should side up because i was talking to you. too about this he told me that actually he believes the players that spain have a so good perhaps he won't have a big impact listen to what he said. tomorrow i think anything can happen we portray go we feel confident enough to play a

spain struggled with who were already out of the tournament while portugal faced and iran side fighting for progression all the world cup action is coming up. i'm going to have you with us tonight the fate of hundreds of migrants rescued from the mediterranean remains uncertain the lifeline a boat operated by a german charity is carrying more than two hundred thirty and it has been stuck at sea for days after being turned away from italy. visited the boat on sunday they say the situation aboard is approaching an emergency and it's not the only ship in limbo between africa and europe with desperate and vulnerable migrants on board. a cargo ship owned by one of the biggest shipping companies in the world stranded off the coast of sicily the alexander mask is not only carrying its own freight but also more than one hundred migrants last week the danish vessel was asked by the italian coast guard to rescue the migrants from a boat that was in trouble but with italy refusing to allow the ship to dock it can do nothing but wait. while the alexander mask is still off sicily a german rescue shi

i think in the end he will play very well and we have the culture in spain with a squad spain has athis moment the main favourites. we have the conscience that winning the world cup or being in semifinals or eventually is possible. enjoy the tournament. a tournament like no other for spain, tournament. a tournament like no otherfor spain, they tournament. a tournament like no other for spain, they open tournament. a tournament like no otherfor spain, they open up tournament. a tournament like no other for spain, they open up their campaign against their neighbours portugal in sochi. premature greeting you need to know is on the bbc sport website world cup starts on thursday but to be across the bbc on thursday but to be across the bbc on radio tv and online. to liverpool fa ns on radio tv and online. to liverpool fans you may always be king cally but he now has another title. sarah kelly after he was knighted in the queens birthday honours list. in recognition of his services to football, charity and the city of liverpool. 1986 was a famous year for kenny, his truly was a trophy lade

with the score one all spain were back on top of the group. meanwhile against iran a wonder goal from a car put portugal ahead before the break it was their first of the tournament not scored by christiane or an aldo once again advantage portugal. ronaldo got his chance in the second half when he stepped up for a penalty but missed leaving the door open for iran. i. morocco netted another three yousef in a city ten minutes from time and spain's chances of topping the group looked over. but spain journal evelyn injury time thanks to you go us bus lines minute ruled it offside but v.a.r. confirmed it counted to all the final score portugal though still lead the group. but kareem ansari thought confronted a last gasp penalty for iran to home portugal to a draw sending spain back to the top of group b. above what's coming up today ok we have the final matches of group c. in group d. group c. france i think they're leading the group right now they will you know post in my opinion the more important matches group d. ok we have one match in particula

spain one, morocco two.the dying seconds, the moment came for the spanish, a tap in from two ruled out by the referee but overturned by var, heart break for morocco. out by the referee but overturned by var, heart breakfor morocco. their price is a last 16 tie the hosts who we re price is a last 16 tie the hosts who were given a reality check by uruguay. rusher rumbled three nil in samara. let's have a look at that group, with russia who had been on top, but uruguay are really growing into this tournament now, three wins out of three. nine point. that means that they are going to face the portuguese. russia are second and they will have the spanish next sunday. saudi arabia the other match and with a win, a injury time winner against each of. here is the mass in group b. —— mass. spain out on top on goals scored ahead of portugal, iran with four points, so unlucky, how close were they? morocco with that one point that they take home with them. let's get more on that portugal match against iran, the use of th

minutes later spain took the lead for the first time i'm not sure said nanda us and sis bets off. but after eighty eight minutes up step just general now it'll be back this equaliser and it's general knowledge of three space serie. a c r seven doing it again still with me and lee rush it's from d w sports for a game emulate was it a fair result fair in terms of the better team winning i'm not so sure spain had much more possession they played twice as many passes better accuracy they created more chances twelve versus portugal's eight you know but if you want to win against portugal you can't give away penalties and dangerous free kicks like that christiana rinaldo of all people i mean that was never going to work out so so spain won the game of statistics as you say possession number of shots and so on but they just didn't have kris jenner and alda. what a spectacular trick from him. let me ask you also about video assistance referee because there was a controversial scene for spain's first first go from jake acosta in my view he. stormed he steamrollered pep a and was allowed to

it in preparation for the games tonight spain portugal i don't think iran will but spain and portugal for sure will do anything they can to avoid you're right i'm sure about that because of edison. and of course. they've got more players in the team but these two guys they don't need much space they don't need much of a chance to score and he got on the scoresheet today he spent coaching the first two games it's not been happening for him in the first game he was excellent absolutely excellent but each goalkeeper was fantastic in that game he must have say at least four will class chances of of not in that first game but you know as i say they portugal spain they will be doing the outmost at nine o'clock to to avoid having to play your pride in the next round speaking if you are quite they must be delighted everything going to plan for them so far top of the great correspondent you know neal was actually at the game in somalia for us and i believe we can speak live to now so you know just exactly how do the you're going funds they were coming out of that game. yeah well going into thi

international spain and portugal as well as russia. through to the knockout stage of the world cup after a dramatic day of games have certainly been out in force celebrating. the little. little. day thirteen of the world cup is set to determine what are the teams from groups c. and d. from france and croatia go through to the next round. and there are certain. senior u.s. administration officials are being hounded by groups of protesters using everything from stall to chanting to make them feel unwelcome wherever they go. well it is i just am here in moscow in a very well welcome to you we're compiling your top world headlines and of course your old latest world cup. it is a crucial day at the fifo world cup in russia with four matches being played today in group d. croatia are already through to the knockout stage take on iceland for whom it is still possible to advance let's see what our top pundit just a united manager. of the team's. ice on the great if they're playing to qualify in these moments old for a competitive match. they b

fair in terms of the better team winning i'm not so sure spain had twelve attempts to score portugal spain completed twice as many passes with better accuracy as well but a fair result would have to say yes because portugal had a good game and you just can't give kris jenner knowledge chances with a penalty and that late free kick if you want to get a win and of course there was that moment the first spanish goal costa seem to be pretty much plow right over the defend we had nine referees looking at video assistant referee system that they didn't call it well it was the first time they used the world cup and it's quite funny because i was reading before the game that duo costs and paper were the two main characters that might cause the air to be used for the first time and that's exactly what happened they're both known for their brutality as well as their simulation it's difficult to say i think if nine people had a look at it with really close up cameras i'm going to say it was probably all right but of course it looked quite quite bad i personally thought it was fairly clear foul

a cynical ploy by sanchez to sideline ciudadanos in spain?, i think mr. sanchez is being strategic like other parties. this vote was caused by the vote you have a bad ruling against dep, corruption ruling, and that forced parties to move i agree that sanchez will have a hard time governing the country with 84 mps. >> i have to ask about spain's economy. it looks like growth is holding steady do you have concerns about a socialist-led government in terms of that? they said they will not do major changes to the budget pushed forward already? >> the budget has been worked on since july of last year, the budgetary ceiling and the objectives for the year. the budget will stay that's good news for the spanish economy. but the only thing that will hold this coalition together will be removing some of the constraints that have been imposed in the past by europe and i imagine economic policy will be less sensible and there are risks to stability and the unity of spain it's a really -- it's going to be hard, even if they were going to try, the socialis

but having said that spain and i said this before repeated the end spain for me man for man has got the best watch so you have it and i'm guessing that the russian fans wouldn't be too disappointed. if there was an upsets and they money stor avoids spain in this game i think that's key and this is why you know either russia or you're a guy they know who's going to win to beat so who finished first who finished second in that group they don't know but i can. so you by just watching the game that your wife thinks it's going. to be so they are trying to win the game against russia on this one quite well fifty two minutes into the game and still nail nil they've had one picture and but so was russia. but europe i definitely think that spain will win this game and it's four four five everything they want to avoid playing spain that's three points is the only way that iran can advance to the next round we caught up with some of the fans now to have been a few i've seen around some planes and trains and around the city very very passionate we caught up with some of them to see if they thin

was it a fair result in terms of the better team winning and so probably not spain created much more chances on goal they had twelve versus portugal's eight spain had more passes completed twice the amount actually with the much better pass accuracy but they didn't have christian a renowned terms of affairs all that have to say yet because if you want to win games you can't give away such penalties and dangerous free kicks to christiana rinaldo that's right and what about the there was a scene spain's first goal jacob costa looked to have committed quite a serious foul you know with his with his elbow leading the way on the portuguese defend a paper route was that is there any talk about that photo there was talk about do have before the game already whether those two would cause the are being used for the first time and that's exactly what happened it is a rough challenge you know custard jumps in like that at the same time pip i think falls quite easily there were nine video referees that were looking at the scene and they deemed it not worthy so that's just what will have to go as

ball and kicked the ball up in the top corner and then it was back to the best as you thinking well spain they are now going to just run this game out of one one is a great result for them and maybe even going to one and when the game rocco had other ideas didn't they and we talked about they stay with the we're going to show up or they were going to arrive and give everything they had and that had had everything behind it from yusef and necessary in the eighty first minute into this point the fans going crazy because they're thinking not only we got our first goals of the competition with we've almost got three points in the back and they were excellent the game was excellent they've really tried to win this game of football they can go back to morocco now with a lot of pride and they can help hold their heads up high. was slightly lucky to be drawn in such a difficult group to get spain and portugal perhaps enough another great amount of the lead bats and the loss again to iran that was the very lucky that they had the best thing in a row when they. saw the job they would have thought w

it could be just beginning in spain. >> that's right. things were bracing that no-confidence vote against him. support the to vote. several papers are bidding him goodbye. page,read on the front it's a catalan paper. they are celebrating his downfall. they have a hostile relationship with him surrounding the independence referendum in the violence and the crackdown that followed. shameful, but deserved. concernedigures are about changes happening in spain. they are calling it unfeasible. the no-confidence motion has only just created instantly. sharon: it looks like there are concerns across the board about what may happen in spain. i will; assist not political. check out this cartoon. outsidealliance parliament are sharing anxiety. one says it's horrible. the other one says it's an opportunity for political renewal. the first one says he's worried about the coach of real madrid. some people find that more distressing. at some oft's look the sports papers for they are reacting with shock. this announcement was unexpected, it comes after

of arrivals are picking up in spain why. absolutely sami spain is one of those countries that is absolutely bucking that trend because this for the first part of this year migrant arrivals by sea are up more than three fold compared to the same period as last year remember that about a one hundred sixty kilometers south from here there lies the northern coast of morocco that's from where we are now maria but the further down the coast you get at the narrowest point down by the straits of gibraltar there's just fifteen miles fifteen kilometers separating northern africa from europe so it makes a very tempting target for migrants what could also be happening as numbers drop in other parts of the mediterranean now migrants and refugees are looking towards what they perceive as perhaps an easier western mediterranean route and that coming from northern africa into spain and so far this month alone if you just look at the month of june there have been almost double the number of arrivals to spain than there have been in italy sam
