Ters and this is the news hour live from london coming up in the next sixty minutes Council Leader speaks for the First Time Since spain imposed direct rule hes calling for a democratic opposition to madrids take over. At least ten people are killed in two call bomb attacks in somalias capital of edition. The World Food Program issues a desperate plea for money to help millions of people who are starving in a democratic republic of congo. In doha with the latest sports news including an incident of racism this Houston Astros player being suspended from the world series ill have more on the story later. First to somalia where at least ten people have been killed in two car bomb attacks in the capital mogadishu the first targeted a hotel where the countrys president was expected to host a meeting a suicide bomber rammed a vehicle into the building and detonated the device somali please say gunfire could be heard from inside the second bomb went off near the former Parliament House building and appears to have targeted the military. I was driving it took to the front of the hotel i saw a car exploding at the gate of the hotel i dont know where two of my clients have gone i dont know if theyre dead or alive but i saw for the bodies. Of the dow is following the story for us from neighboring kenya mami weve been talking over the last hour or so about a gunfight still going on in that hotel what is the latest situation. Well sue the gun four thousand now come to on and Somali Special fully police and security guards of the hotel have managed to kill the three or four fighters who gained entry into the hotel immediately after the car exploded and now weve been told by rescue workers that there are a few of the buildings around the hotel that call ups due to the big blast and they say some people might be under the rubble of course this is a hotel that is very popular with government officials members of Parliament Live in there and this could probably be one of the reasons why alshabaab has chosen to attack is but it was also the venue of a meting as you said there between president mohammed aglow for you on the leaders of somalias regional states five of them and they were very to drop a plumb for what the government is calling a massive also against al shabaab of course this comes just two weeks after the worst atrocity also in mogadishu that attack also by alshabaab is there a sense really that this group is gaining ground again in this particular area. Yes indeed and this is a major concern for not only mogadishu residents but citizens across all molly alshabaab has been cutting out brazen attacks in recent past the wost of which happened on the fourteenth of october barely fourteen they say go no one expected them to carry out such an attack so cruel to the time they cut it out on a talk which of course the people of somalia but when you come from the unger people have against alshabaab they are also really frustrated with the government which has shown that it is good the very weak security operators and its one of the things the government wants to address with the missing between the president and the regional States Al Shabaab has also been taking some key districts around mogadishu including the town of buddy where about forty five kilometers away from the couple told us that to dig down on one of the major roads entering the city and one. Used in the past to carry out these are toxic and government officials now say that with these districts falling one after another its becoming increasingly difficult for them to avoid attacks like the ones that happened this evolving many thanks a moment for bringing us that update. Lets take you now to spain where weve heard from catalans regional leader for the First Time Since madrid sacked him dissolved his parliament and called a new election from minister Mariano Rajoy impose the measures they missed on stage his declaration of independence color speech to months reply as they measured hes calling for democratic opposition to madrids takeover. Theres a message that i want to convey is that what im saying is that we have to be patient but actually have to have perseverance and. It is clear to us that the best way to defend what we have achieved so far is to have a democratic opposition to article one five five this is the response to the deliberate action against catalans who have for many centuries felt different we have to overcome any threats and to act in a civil and he still manner or not wish to use for. Life or is him barcelona and indeed by the square which should be the seat of power and catalonia under whos in charge. Well whats happening right now is. A whole set of. People. But. I think was struggling probably to understand. And hopefully we can come back to america while when we establish a bestselling. Hunger in the democratic republic of congo has soared in the last year leaving seven point seven Million People in urgent need of food aid in the cut region more than three Million People thats one quarter of the population are going hungry and need urgent assistance and internal power struggle there has given way to tribal violence that has also left thousands dead since august twenty sixth seen with more than a Million People displaced in theres been an alarming thirty percent rise over the past year of acute malnutrition in the region the World Food Program says it needs twenty seven Million Dollars to support its work from september to december twenty seventh team and the executive director of the uns World Food Programme David Beasley is in the d r c on a four day mission he spoke to us about the situation from goma in the east of the country. But the bottom line is we need money and we need money fast were literally are talking about in just the cost side region of three point two Million People that are dearly malnourished i mean its bad as bad as it gets literally hundreds of thousands of children if we dont receive funds and food and access immediately will die over the next couple of months now and the r. C. Alone you have seven point seven Million People severely food insecure but almost half of that is in the side region all because of nothing but man made conflict it is wrong its on the step the bill this is a country being International Community has spent billions and to continue to have this type of mismanagement in government and corruption in conflict is absolutely unacceptable from the International Community and were doing everything we can to see innocent victims of conflict then you have thousands upon thousands that are hiding in the forest there heidi you know and you have militia you have rebels also in the bush if thank just in the past couple days our team we weve got pictures of videos of homes of villages huts that have been burned down to the ground we have see pictures of the capitated men and women and children its a very desperate situation in the region. Well i think weve and our problems with the link to new and simmons is live for us and you just explain to us now and it is in power now in catalonia. Good question because no one is quite sure if you look at the square here the government building that overlooks it the Spanish National flag is in place it hasnt been brought down there is no evident presence within the building we can see the police guarding it but no presence here but it is a weekend and the president is in fact in drona which is his home city and hes been Walking Around quite freely and addressed the country on television that clip you saw earlier on his supporters saying that this is going to be a tough very tough time but overall theyre in favor of moving forward with the session of course the detractors and there are many of them it has to be said it sort of seems like fifty fifty when you walk around asking people in the city they say that this is going the wrong way everyone is quite concerned about whats going to happen next because madrid has made it quite clear that Police Chiefs are being replaced and they have orders to move in and make sure that theres no civil disobedience furthermore the government intends to replace the ministers here and push them out of self there will be the prosecutor general looking at the situation on monday with a view to pressing charges that could mean arrests and it could mean trouble with me right now is quite a prominent political activist here in barcelona please step forward and join us on this program on the radio silver gray what do you say to this situation are you prepared to go out and try and protect that building and stop the police. From entering it and arresting the president because he is according to the Prime Minister of spain guilty of illegal acts or certainly im ready to to protect decoupling institutions because we have a mandate because it got one government got a mandate from the gut on people to proclaim inband and thats what happened here if madrid tries to rest with the morning or any other minister of it would be another example that they are not willing to engage in dialogue in a negotiation the only one mediation of forgotten people so of course me and many other of my fellow gotland will be here for that thing follow but put it this way pushed him on set of his t. V. Address that has to be peaceful but he does want support however how can it be peaceful if youre going to try to stop Security Forces from arresting a president thats not going to be an easy situation thats going to involve violence as. By elements even moderate ones violence today place i mean weve seen scenes that are unsettling in democracy you cannot just order to Police Forces to do politics when you have a political problem you address it doing politics you cannot just ask the Spanish Police to come here and arrest the president because the cut them people do not want this what about this division now thats even more of a gulf between yourselves and those that feel proud of their culture but they dont want secession i understand that theres a lot of people who do not want in the band but i would like to remind them that there was a referendum on the first of october and a majority of those that voted voted in favor of in the bands and the law was very clear if we have a mandate that is a majority of people voting in favor of independence we will declare independence. But it wouldnt a better solution have bean elections at the end of the day to actually go back to democracy as a savior really if you will if if the support really was there in a real majority for a push him on his party and secession then that would have been a clear answer i dont know if elections will be in the solution to this problem but if you propose to call an early election and you have madrid that says we are going ahead with the article one hundred five which involves removing the leadership removing the head of the police removing the head off that got them on public media of course we can actions and it would solve the situation because if you have another election and there is another majority in favor of independent will you try to arrest put them on again because he has another monday please bring the benchwork with tough madrid done if in another election the point abandons parties one. Thank you very much indeed for joining us so they have a sewer clear. Views from someone on the independence side of the fence of course there are many millions who would disagree here in catalonia right now there is a goal of dividing the two sets of opinion and its unclear how this is going to move forward but you see a long way to go Andrew Symonds there with the very latest from barcelona an official results from kenyas repeat president ial elections suggest president who are kenyatta as one more than ninety seven percent of the vote but his mandate appears to be weak turnout is estimated to be less than thirty five percent and that studio opposition supporters heeding a call to boycott the poll the election has also been marred by violence with voting suspended in some Opposition Strongholds from me to miller reports from the capital nairobi. Less than twenty four hours ago the syria in the western part of nairobi was relatively peaceful there werent any demonstrations or protests following thursdays election but now thats all changed this was an area that housed at least thirty shops a restaurant a bar and even homes for People Living in the same area where he was attacked by a mob of protesters the people here are calling them gangs they say this area was petrol bombed bringing down any infrastructure and theyve been left with nothing william is a painter who operated a Small Business in this area and when we were talking to you and you said that you felt victimized i felt victimized course expected is one we had almost got some people would come and bargain oh no businesses do somebody is going to die today but was is not. So we expected because they dont go out of business unfortunately the police came to us i mean they took advantage of nothing he came he burned down here the real cancer the purchase of choice of oils bread so quickly you know when they made your own very big trigger finger or you would think. That you would be to be choking dari dunes. Were very sorry. About us thank you william now william is just one of many people young who doesnt know what hell do next he doesnt know where hell go what they have tried to do is theyve put up this makeshift fence to at least try and protect whats left me isnt very much when we moved out of this area further down the street we were met by a very aggressive mob of people who said we couldnt move any further they said they they would chase us out of the area if we try to stay too long this situation in where is is unsafe its tense and people here say theyre worried. As much more to come here on the news hour. Where a surge of asylum seekers. Double capacity. Charges are filed into alleged russian interference in the twenty sixth election. And its a record breaking night at the under seventeen. Well have all those details later in.

U. In turning this island into a prison is the wrong policy it punishes those who showed solidarity instead of rewarding them for its criminal and unfair to divide europeans into first and second class citizens and we are definitely in a second class we dont have the same rights as other europeans or even other great. Authorizes wont allow us to film inside moria camp currently hosting five thousand people more than twice its capacity and a record high since the e. U.
