Rallying for unity but spains Prime Minister rules out talks of the crisis deepens after catalonia his vote to break away. Out of can nato get stronger as it nears the u. S. Gulf coast its already killed dozens across Central America. And we begin in syria would turkey has announced it starting a big operation in libya province isnt sending in its own forces but its providing logistical and intelligence support to syrian rebel groups in the countrys northwest much of it live is controlled by talk show. Its an alliance of factions spearheaded by the former al qaeda affiliate turkish president of egypt a about of one says he wont allow the Rebel Alliance to thrive along its border but. We have opened up a space in our region with Operation Euphrates Shield and now we are making efforts to take a step forward by maintaining security in a lab today there is a serious operation in adlib and it will continue because we have our brothers there who came to fleeing violence in aleppo we cant tell them whatever happens happens you can either die or survive we have to extend a hand to our brothers now this step has been taken and it is under way. Has more from gaza on tap on turkeys border with syria. This is what we know so far the Turkish Military standing reinforcement of their i highly Border Crossing with hundreds of free syrian fighters also present in the area phase one of this offensive will be the Free Syrian Army leading the fight to take on. In its live phase two will be the Turkish Military crossing into it live to secure the city this is part of a deal that was signed with iran and with iran and russia in a stand last month but with turkeys involvement in syria this could pose many challenges for the turkish with the first of all because to have the same is one of the most powerful rebel factions operating inside syria they have issued a statement warning that any attack against them with be met with stiff resistance warning all those who try to dislodge them from it live to pay a heavy price the second major challenge for the Turkish Military is basically the town of a three in all the border with. Turkey which is where there is a significant presence of the s. D. F. Which is a coalition of turkish fighters i think military planners in the Turkish Military will trying it out just like a delicate balance between the need to take on to hire some of the same time but also to prevent any attacks. As the operation starts henri barkey is a professor of International Relations at Lehigh University and he says turkey is supporting the operation is mainly for domestic security concerns we have to look at this operation that turkey is mounting more as as a domestic politics issue and also one that has to do with the United States turkey United States have now fallen quite apart of each other because of american support for the white b. G. For the syrian kurds in their struggle against the Islamic State and the turks have been to. To stop that to block to have to convince americans not to do it but they have this by by aligning itself with iran and russia i think what the turks are trying to do is to send a message through to washington but im afraid washington is not in a mood to listen to that to that message secondly mr had one has been threatening to go into syria for a long time hes been threatening to go into iraq following the referendum in Northern Iraq so hes been in the Turkish Press has been full of stories of imminent military action by by turkey and everybody has been expecting some kind of military action so theres a way in which you can argue that the in the operation will kind of satisfy this this jingoistic urge that has emerged in turkey and add one will be able to say yes we are doing military operations and of course they will be successful in his in his book so this is it may be that the. Intervention is a side show for both domestic politics and especially u. S.

And warm air through the South China Sea into the Far Southwest of china into vietnam and beyond that the darker green suggest heavier rain once again now the heaviest was in central vietnam. Most of china still looking dry except for northern sichuan and that like to beijing where rain is developing once well but if youre in hong kong youre right on the edge of the cloudy particularly humid air at the moment. Of course the rain should be showing itself more frequently for the sas now there are huge gaps in the satellite view but showers form over land as the day progresses and temperatures rise but they do tend to drift out over the ocean and the general drift takes a more towards thailand singapore. Malaysia. Youll notice that java isnt particularly well catered for in showers in the forecast its not quite right season but look how close it is got. To rain anyway jakarta and the monsoon here vols and disappearing out of the way through india if anything is pushing back up again through nagpal possibly as far as go jet in the next day or so now officially of course the monsoon season ended in gujarat.

Says he may use the constitution to suspend catalonia as autonomy if leaders declare independence ok governors in the southern United States are urging people to take shelter from how to can nate ahead of its expected landfall on saturday night evacuation orders have been in place along coastal areas of Louisiana Mississippi and alabama on saturday the mayor of new orleans has declared a state of emergency systems already hit parts of Central America killing twenty five people. In new orleans followed the winds are beginning to pick up now what are the conditions like there. Well they certainly are weve heard the winds are about one hundred thirty a little over one hundred thirty kilometers an hour the outer reaches of the hurricane although he has made landfall now around the mouth of the Mississippi River where we had bands of the hurricane hitting this area a few hours ago with very strong winds and very intense rainfall people have been taking precautions as you mentioned dorothys also warning about. In and around alabama just to add to their worries the people here have been watching the approach of this horrific and now for a couple of days a scene the devastation the loss of life that you mentioned in Central America so as you can imagine there is certainly some anxiety as the effects of the hurricane approach approach here in louisiana and louisiana in new orleans. Theyre still assessing the devastation in Central America more than twenty people were killed and there was extensive damage after two weeks of almost constant rainfall before the storm. Then picked up speed through the gulf of mexico before making landfall on the southeastern coast of the United States as a category two hurricane with winds of more than one hundred fifty kilometers an hour it is critical. Everyone. Whos been told to evacuate or would like to do so that they do it now those invulnerable areas were moved to Evacuation Centers while others prepared for uncertainty stocked up with provisions neal to be doing Gulfport Mississippi like sailors all along the gulf coast was his boat as best he could as the storm approached residents boarded up properties and secured anything the winds might carry away but its difficult to prepare when you dont know exactly when or where its going to strike or how ferocious the hurricane is going to be when it does finally hit its always stronger and far more frightening than anything you might have prepared for memories here is still strong of Hurrican Katrina in two thousand and five which left about one thousand eight hundred people dead and caused an estimated one hundred eight billion dollars worth of damage. That better prepared this time i want to be really clear we have sufficient part was power and manpower to handle this threat if the rain totals remain as forecasts and the people of the u. S. Gulf coast with plenty of recent hurrican experience hope that nate is listening daniel the mayor of new orleans there giving very calm press conference which he has been doing over the last couple of days how do you think that the people there are confident that the Emergency Services do have everything under control. Well i think that i think certainly hope for the authorities have gone to Great Lengths to try to reassure people. Of the roots of the speed of this hurricane it changes direction it changes wind speed you never know quite where its going to hit it exactly when its going to hit so there is a great deal of anxiety at the same time it has to be said that the people around certainly here in new orleans have a reputation theyre very proud of the defying the odds of partying in the face of the record weve seen people out on the coast surfing the record approaches so that says something i think about the attitude that some people have here all those yes certainly very concerned very worried but hopeful that those measures that have been put in place with those memories of Hurricane Katrina will be effective but again the storm is approaching and there is a sense of trepidation there is a curfew in place here in new orleans its dark its seven twenty at nights here now so really its a case of battening down the hatches waiting to see what happens overnight and what the damage will be like tomorrow morning.

And whereas in moscow orthorexic hes appeared to be trying new softer tactics letting protesters shout their slogans with a minimum of arrests in other cities like san petersburg it was the same old treatment with riot police wrestling people to the ground and throwing them into waiting vans will have to wait for future demos to see if this dip in attendance marks a long term waning of support for me and also to see if dorothys favor the Moscow Police approach force in petersburg or italians how to zero moscow.
