They call for the jailing of karlas police drama and they describe themselves as the silent majority you couldnt find silence in the center of barcelona this sunday in sound square the seat of power for a Regional Government thats been sacked by the state it was tense and a small number of pro unionists pushed against barriers in front of the government. Overall it was a peaceful protest though the crowds cheering the Spanish National Police Helicopters that provoked anger when overflying procession demonstrations for those who say catalonia should stay in spain this day belongs to them a sign for my age range of people here whats striking about it is the number of people who are actually demonstrating for the first time this is a family day out louisa column a and two of her daughters were reticent about. Secrecy a spanish like you wouldnt normally do people would literally in the street be i watch out whatever i dont know like i wouldnt feel comfortable doing it because of that. To be quite. The kind of hates kind of people sometimes a mother says unionists on not extremists they are less people they are not right we are not fascist im never in the social splits it will be maybe two generations three generations. In a neighborhood nearby some of the session campaigners are working out their next moves and the move. Isnt celebrating. This man says the movement is losing momentum because the Regional Government is spending a weekend doing little while the madrid government makes all the moves and he isnt alone we have plenty of confidence in our president any of them on but its very difficult Vice President jim carrey us at this very difficult for us to understand seem very minor. Most of the campaigners here say theyre prepared to defend public buildings if the police try to arrest politicians with institutions all returning to work on monday their plans could soon be put to the test. And Andrew Symonds joins us now live from london andrew i think its just gone nine am that lets start with the first question of whos showed up for work in some of those Public Administration government buildings. Well that front door has seen no one go through it there are all rare entrances but one thing is for sure no ministers are inside right now either from madrid or indeed from barcelona so the question is will the government that actually tried this a session here and declared it through parliamentary vote will that government attempt to try to get ministers in place because we understand their orders for the not to be allowed in this building and others were also hearing from activists right across barcelona that they intend if necessary to god public buildings and stop the police from any attempted arrests but will there be arrests will simply be summonses issued to anyone who the prosecutor general wishes to charge of course. Is on that list at the top of that list whether he faces a charge of sedition or possibly rebellion is unclear right now he spent the weekend in jerome getting a lot of legal advice but appearing quite relaxed in Television Pictures of him going to arrest drawn and also a t. V. Address which was much more serious when he called on every want to peacefully support the government which was going to find it very very hard in the coming days and months in its struggle now as far as madrid is concerned its been pretty hyperactive over the weekend sacking people one hundred forty people mainly special advisers and people in in posts. Foreign representative offices theyve all had their contracts terminated they all Civil Servants however there are other Civil Servants whove been fired and two hundred thousand all up all going to work this morning under given what you said is madrid in full control of this point from what you can make out. Well it would appear so because obviously the the the government that secession is keeping. A very very low profile as i said the. Colors push them all has not showed publicly in barcelona he stayed in jordan we dont know where he is right now hes posted to only within the last within the past hour a photograph or other obscure photograph on instagram showing the eaves of a building on the roof part of a roof very bizarre with a smiley icon and a good morning everyone but anything thats thats the latest communication from him theres been no word from any other ministers and we are we understand what one minister says he intends to show up for work but then were not seeing anything happen right now is so hard to tell is the answer to that but to use it a trip arrow who is the chief was the chief of the most police hes been fired hes been replaced now most certainly madrid is in control of the most force and they are also distributing. Internal memos suggesting that they were all staying neutral and that would mean that if theyre ordered to intervene and arrest anyone then they should do also the Spanish Police are up here with the guardian got us a deal also all in place should there be any any issues at all but theres a real tension about. This city understandably right now because people want to see what is going to happen theyve been told that there will be elections in december but theyre wondering really what of the earth is going to happen this monday has many of us are lets wait and see thanks so much under simmons now the seventh round of talks aimed at ending syrias six year war is getting underway in the catholic capital i stand the meeting is expected to call for a cease fire between Government Forces and rebel groups for at least six months the clearance of mines prisoner swaps and the release of hostages are also on the agenda the talks are sponsored by iran and russia which support the Syrian Regime and turkey which backs the rebels imran khan has more from a stand. Their standard talks have started and these are closed door talks between all of the major parties whos in attendance we have the Syrian Government the Syrian Opposition delegations from both of those we have the United Nations and also the United States but mainly its of the three guarantors of the deescalation zones and thats russia turkey and iran now there is some concern about these deescalation zones there has been clashes taking place within the mind of clashes say the Syrian Opposition but they say that civilians have been affected now russia says that actually those who have been just operations against extremist groups that they call groups like. Isis fighters and the civilians are affected now the talks are taking place right now seem to be of a technical nature which country does what role what the russia what do the russians do what the iranians do what do the turkish do now whilst all of this goes on we also have another round of tools taking place in november thats november twenty eighth in geneva with the u. N. And the interim syrian delegations now the russians are hoping that these peace talks these deescalation torso as well as the prisoner exchanges and Everything Else thats been discussed will dovetail into those talks or it seems to me it seems to many observers of the process here son of president bashar assad is in a very strong position now thats something that turkey is concerned about its something that the russians have wanted for a while now to see him in a strong position so they can bring about an end to the conflict were also hearing from local Russian Media reports about the Russian Military role so its likely that something is going to come out about their role about the size of their role within syria in the next twenty four hours now cut his emir is reiterating the importance of safeguarding his countrys sovereignty but it also his commitment to dialogue to resolve the gulf diplomatic dispute shake to mean been handed anthony was speaking to. U. S. Television show sixty minutes cutter has been under a blockade from most five months after saudi arabia the u. A. E. And egypt cut diplomatic and trade ties mike hanna reports from washington d. C. There was no sign of friction among gulf leaders when they met President Trump on his first foreign trip but was all smiles and a common pledge to combat terrorism in all its forms yet less than two weeks later the blockade against cutter was launched much to the surprise of carters emir shaikh bin. We were praising each other. Laughing with each other this cussing you know how to solve this terrorism that is a threat for the rest of the world theyre making demands of you that you shut down aljazeera that you may give them your word that youre not supporting in islamic groups are you going to meet these demands our sovereignty is a red line we dont accept anybody interfering our sovereignty when you tell me to close a china like aljazeera history were right one day in fifty or sixty seventy years how it changed the whole idea of free speech in the region do you believe that they want regime change yes they won they want a regime change thats just so obvious history as well tells us teaches us that they tried to do that before in one thousand ninety six after my father. Became the emir of qatar has denied any support for terrorism. Offered this explanation as to why the taliban was allowed to open an office in doha the reason why they came here its not because we asked them to come here because other people like the United States america United States wanted the taliban here they wanted to have dialogue so they asked us if we can host them here and have the dialogue so that we host of them here this is the reason why theyre here how with this in and we want to turn and believe me charlie we want to turn. But nothing is going to be above our dignity our sovereignty but we want to turn and i almost say that if they go walk one meters toward me im willing to walk ten thousand miles towards them but it may be left to others to persuade those continuing the blockade to take that first step mike hanna aljazeera washington. Is an associate professor of middle east studies at the university of oklahoma he says the amazing interview shows theres no softening of the countrys position. I think that certainly the emir was speaking directly to the American People going well beyond the government and Rex Tillerson the secretary of state making the appeal to the American People that this is unjust and so on i think his claims about sovereignty which he made in an earlier and dress over the summer are not new i think what he did show determination and the and the claim that this was about regime change which we wish we all knew from the very beginning i think also is a toughening stance as it were all of us knew from the very beginning that the saudis and the emirates is behind these nutritions would have loved to bring about regime change and in fact there might have been a military possibility in the first couple of days and they also miscalculated thinking that the cuts are e people would somehow rebel against their government after the ending of formal relations and so on none of that happened so this was about regime change but see here the emir say that it was a bit startling so i think this was a serious attempt to address the American People and also the kind of educated classes and so on and i think its also important to point out that in addition to his determination and his top stance he did offer a leaf or a possibility as you mention with this claim but he said its said twice in the interview that hes willing to go ten thousand miles if they are willing to come one meter so in addition to determination there was also a claim that we are that qatar is moderate and reasonable and willing to find a reasonable solution to this crisis.
