Everyone ive listed bar on the wall welcome to this news hour live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes to the top suspensions a Visa Services as diplomatic tensions escalate between the u. S. And turkey. Cries for unity from the socalled silent majority hundreds of thousands of demonstrators caseloads here to stay part of space. A campaign to drive Al Qaeda Linked fighters from in syria they promise to fight to the death. And a revolutionary remembered commemorations marking fifty years since the death of che guevara. And in sports after a twenty seven year wait egypt qualify for next years world cup. Poland and denmark also sealed spots at the twenty eight hundred finals in russia. Although the diplomatic dispute between turkey and the United States has escalated in the last half hour ankara has suspended visas for u. S. Citizens this comes after the u. S. Suspended all nonimmigrant Visa Services at its diplomatic facilities in turkey lets take you straight away to washington d. C. And speak to aljazeera as Dion Estabrook this diplomatic dispute developing all the time diane whats behind these decisions. What is behind this is late last week there was a u. S. Consulate employees by the name of topo whos who was arrested by the turks by turkish authorities and they claim that he had ties to a turkish cleric whos been living in exile in the u. S. For several several years and that is federal and google and google and according to turkey was behind that attempted coup last summer the turkish government president has been trying to get the u. S. To extradite google and for several months for of the turkey has been trying to get him back in the country for several years without success so this seems to this this arrest of this consulate employee could be sort of a tit for tat or a way to put pressure on the u. S. To get extradited i should also say there are about a dozen other americans who have been arrested and being detained over in turkey among them is a nasa scientist a Christian Christian missionary who Vice President parents and secretary secretary of state Rex Tillerson have been trying to get back to the u. S. Without success and incidentally just a month ago when president was visiting the u. N. And visiting the white house President Trump made a point of saying that the relationship between turkey and the u. S. Has been better than ever now you see this chain of events happening so obviously tensions are mounting and the relationship is on rather tenuous grounds at this point it certainly is the mean how does this play into sort of the wiser region because weve seen of course turkey has been cooperating with both russia. Over the war in syria it does appear at the moment the turkey is moving that way and moving away from the United States is influence. Yeah and thats so and thats a real concern obviously for the u. S. Because turkey is a strategic ally its a its an ally for us in europe and in the middle east and its a nato ally so that is why that is you know secretary of state has been getting involved in this. This obviously has a repercussions beyond just these these arrests this that theres a obviously the state department is getting involved in this this has repercussions throughout europe and the middle east so it will be interesting to see what plays out how this plays out over the next few days absolutely time estabrook appreciate it thank you well for more on this ive been speaking to a local hes a retired technician bossa and form a pub and representative to the european union. Or in the. You know in the american consulate in istanbul was a knesset he was accused of being a slimy points clearly an economy could live game start. And the it was also if you look. Closely the constitution a lot of the dirt i dont know what we are more but its from the in the decision tribunals which of course its quite a little distance you have to try to be to truth the turkish government to walking in that respect so he was arrested before. The try google and. Being jailed and the other concise is the sona protested this being the. This means our research in causes shortly after what happened in the cos with an example and in the declaration the paper of the drinking paper of the consulate this event is openly. Stated and the cost that says that this is not permissible this is not understandable in any case the turkish is site is not giving you no important say in the sense of carving the rights and also the security of the cost of it and the american premises in turkey so when you live in the all these problems in the access or whatever to be there but i think since one year i think that this is a reprise little from the american side. Or already at least it warning to truckee that the american side is not happy at all with whats going on actually in charge the with regard to the truck you showed to the american interests. Now the selfstyled silent majority found their voice in barcelona calling all catalonia to stay pos of spain hundreds of thousands of people travel from across the country to make their call for unity exactly one week off the catalonia voted to break away that decision has plunged spain into a political crisis and as jonah hill reports both sides are hardening their positions. Barcelona has seen plenty of huge demonstrations but not like this one see red and yellow the Cleveland City flying alongside the Spanish National flag. Ripped out calls for a dependence this is a highly unusual show of national unity. Some have come from other parts of spain but most are from catalonia itself tony roll down is a compliment politician opposed to independence we have lived throughout the best video of the first very young these. Are the last forty years who said they did or she was finished was over and we have managed to build the framework that works for everyone i think that the future belongs to you know i just think that we need to know this better from National Language to govern ourselves in the world the politician doesnt make sense today but they call themselves the silent majority was their son or representatives just the right choices not the right silent no one story if i was. There. One moment described an atmosphere of hostility towards those who disagree with the push for independence days ago i was in my spanish and that is what i. Know that there was i think. Its right by them that had that my. Own facts. And given the opportunity to speak out many embraced it eagerly tired of being in my diary and the people to say that we are now we are the majority because the union has a force and command its common sense independent schools in this region with its destructive culture and language a centuries old but the stakes have never been higher in madrid Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy warns he may use special powers to revoke catalonians autonomy the Regional Government meanwhile is considering a unilateral declaration of independence in the weeks to come but who will follow them not these people who seem to have found their voices jonah hold aljazeera barcelona. Dolling is a senior lecturer in hispanic studies that Carter University and he joins me live now via skype thanks for being with us on the program so we are due to get that announcement this week from the land president do you think its likely he will actually declare independence from spain. I think if they dont declare independence i think the government because government will fall because one of the parties thats currently supporting the Catalan Government simply said there withdraw support if there is no decoration and i think you know the other element that means that they almost certainly will go for you know natural decoration and is that their supporters are expecting this declaration of independence their supporters you know many of them who had you know kind of traumatic experiences or or saw the trauma of last sundays events in many areas of catalonia and of the Spanish Police action so this is the supporters of independence wont forgive the catalan Political Class if they dont like that you know lateral declaration how easy would it then be for Prime Minister rudd to carry out his threats and take control of catholic. Well yeah i mean i think were in a phase now or escalation and cant respiration were in a phase of demonstration and today marks a new phase in in the political conflict over an enormous counterdemonstration i think certainly given the position of the major countries in europe you know i think roy will feel that its very much in his power to go ahead and suspend kaplan autonomy if they go ahead and make what is a clear you know lateral decoration of independence weve seen of course some business already saying they intend to meet their bases from catalonia to what extent do you think that the Catalan Government has miscalculated what it called this referendum i mean did they see events playing out as they are now. No but i think if you want from the point of view of the current government the real purpose of the referendum is to try to find out what the catalan people really wanted to achieve thats from their point of view but i think certainly this theres certainly been a degree of naivety kind of imbedded in within the Catalan Independence movement if you want an almost seamless transition and in a. Z. Departure from spain has always been possible and personally ive always thought that thats been a very naive position leaving a spine that refuses to allow you to park at the park never be a smooth process weve seen those huge anti independence demonstrations in both lane i mean something or asking why hasnt they sign a majority made its voice heard before me the turnout in the referendum itself was very low we know that and it does appear it was the anti independence supporters who didnt vote why didnt they make their voices heard. Well like many people in spain i think those people who are opposed and its refused simply to recognize the referendum as a valid mechanism for deciding the future but they just dont want to participate in a referendum on the separation of catalonia so essential a most people who are opposed to an independence boycotted the referendum on sunday hence you got a figure of over ninety percent in favor of yes whereas its much more evenly spread and i think we have to be a little bit catalogs about using its light side of a majority we dont really know what is the actual really authentic figure of how many catalans really want independence and how many cattle and radios and i think what we also need to bear in mind as well actually only a small minority of coplands want the situation to continue unchanged even though see they may not want independence wont see a big change in the relationship between the capital and governments and the madrid government essentially they want to receive more power this great to talk down and joining us there via skype thanks so much what. I still has all this aljazeera news hour we made. Who escaped mass killings in may and. Safety standards under the spotlight after a massive gas explosion kill seven people and then just dozens of others. Theres another career milestone for rihanna down the china. First an alliance led by former Al Qaeda Linked fighters is promising a fierce battle against those who enter its territory in syria. Released a statement after the Free Syrian Army or say crossed into the area from turkey on saturday theyre being backed by turkish soldiers. Reports from near the turkish syrian border. Turkish artillery shelling. Positions inside syria the former alqaeda affiliated Group Controlled most of province and this border area is the focal point of what turkish authorities refer to as a serious campaign. And the Free Syrian Army is sending reinforcements to that i had. The starting point for the new cross border campaign. But which has thousands of fighters is vowing to fight to the death news of the new campaign is raising concerns for civilians in there if the turkish army enters back by russian planes that have committed a massacre a few days ago an army that is for sure and acceptable to me and to any muslim who rejects the presence of those in our country. The russians are the first and last enemy of the Syrian People are backing Bashar Al Assad how can they be supporting the Syrian People. The new push by turkey comes after an agreement with russia and iran last month to set up a deescalation zone in. The turkish army will be operating in the city while the russians will be deployed outside of the province it is one of four deescalation zones the others are the askers of the capital damascus or the border with jordan and northern parts of holmes. Zones what established after iran russia and turkey decided to set aside their differences and find a permanent solution to the syrian conflict. The new operation could be part of a broader deal between russia turkey and iran but we dont know who would run one say a. Victor from the problems and what will become of moderate opposition factions and the thousands of civilians living in the area. At least two people are dead and scores are missing after a boat carrying refugees from miramar. Off the southern tip of bangladesh eleven refugees have been rescued so far.

States theyre taking shelter in coxs bazaar close to bangladeshs border with mayor maher un has brought in huge doses of a cholera vaccine to prevent a looming crisis aid Officials Say camps are getting too crowded putting files is at risk from disease in the. Nine point six million square meters of space which is equivalent to eight hundred eighty nine football stadiums if we can put it in that way so this is huge and all these people are crowded down there they lack facilities there is dire situation there is shortage of water these charges of like toilet facilities and everything so based on our experiences that we have seen in the past when other such crisis moment is that when people are conscious to be in a such a place there is always this fiske of having cholera outbreak all mammals military forces have been accused of carrying out atrocities against the hinge of muslims un as war its actions amount to ethnic cleansing but the government denies the accusation is there is mohammed jan jan reports from a makeshift refugee camp in bangladesh where hes met one young man who survived an attack by the army. Despite the relief his family tries to provide eighteen year old or hindu refugee mohammed or hasan is still haunted for a while his mother and siblings try to give him a brief respite from the extreme heat and humidity but no matter how much medicine is given or the number of bandages applied his scars both physical and psychological will remain. They took us out from our home and tied our hands behind our backs they pulled us along the roads and kicked as they pulled us through the village through the jungle and took us to join another group of people they made as a lie down on top of one another mohammad all says when soldiers from me and mars army began shooting at them he was hit twice in the back. At first he pretended to be dead but then again when i opened my eyes to see if theyd left a note when i opened my eyes they saw me and shot me here two of his brothers were killed in the armys attack on mano a village in iraq and stayed on august twenty seventh mohammed al was convinced he also would not survive a mood in the clinton who i thought i would die so i prayed i thought to myself im not going to see my relatives anymore mohamed tools brother sure if i was desperate to get him some help theyre going to doctors but theyre not doctors we couldnt find any doctor there was military everywhere so i couldnt go to the pharmacy and get him any medicine people were telling me i should go break down the door of the pharmacy and bring him medicine but i couldnt go there because of the military no choice tells us that in addition to his two brothers who were killed dozens more of his relatives were also executed during the attack a recent report by Human Rights Watch included interviews with witnesses and survivors who told the organization that me and morris military didnt just carry out mass killings that day but that they also sexually assaulted stabbed and beat villagers who were gathering for safety in a residential compound and while the un has called the actions of man mars military a textbook example of ethnic cleansing mean wars government has categorically denied carrying out any atrocities against the rangers. Or muhammad tools heartbroken mother there is no time to dwell on the past taking care of her family even in conditions as miserable as these is her priority as a latina i didnt take in that when i see my sons wings i dont feel like going back to my village and also i set fire to a high and they said if i ever where we saw that and we had no choice but to leave they may have been able to leave the violence behind but for mohammed will its clear the horror of what he lived through will never really go away. Mohammed. At the tank ali refugee camp in coxs bazaar bangladesh. Cubans of me marking the anniversary of the death of the revolutionary icon shaikh of our several thousand people attended a ceremony in the cuban city of santa clara to mark the fifty years since and as far as death his name has of course become synonymous with revolution and communism is most well known for his role in the cuban revolution of one thousand nine hundred fifty nine fighting alongside fidel and raul castro you see in human reports from havana on his legacy as a revolutionary hero but.
