Im Richelle Carey this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up fresh and syrian troops launch an offensive to retake all bookham all a border city under eisel control in syria. What is going on on models one of the movies and he will tell you the crisis and no one will help us a desperate plea from hundreds of refugees who say they have been abandoned on manis island. Plus u. S. President donald trump is about to get has marathon asia tour will tell you whats on the agenda. And International Search and arrest warrant has been issued for the deposed cattle on president carlos pushed him on spanish prosecutors want to investigate him for rebellion and sedition over last months declaration of independence but the sacked leader has missed two days of Court Hearings and madrid whos dumon is in brussels where he intends to. Any attempt to extradite him to spain but also has said that he will cooperate with the belgian authorities belgium has twenty four hours to react to the european arrest warrant several of her months aides are also being sought catalans views are split on how the deposed president has handled the crisis. She did giggling live in india then you know i want catalonia to be independent and i think all politicians are doing Everything Possible so they can help calm the public we are suffering a bit because spanish politicians are playing like a cat chasing a dog but i think collins put him on is not going to let us down you know she. I dont know what beliefs they have but when someone does what hes done and calls for independence and then flees thats not good hes fleeing from the law the president has to fulfill the law if he starts doing Something Else a lot of it that is going to lose everything. David taylor is following the developments and cross also david what else do we know about the warrant or or multiple foreign says it may be. This is a procedure taken under the european arrest arrest warrant the documents arrived at the federal Prosecutors Office here last night let me explain a bit about that process its a whole thing thats meant to actually increase the speed and ease of extradition between the e. U. Countries before they actually brought this legislation in and it was first came in after the nine eleven attacks in the United States it could take a year maybe two years maybe three years for extradition proceedings take place now under these new procedures it can take up to sixty days and in special circumstances another thirty days on top of that so this means that under this procedure that the arrest warrants will be given to an investigative judge. Here in brussels and then push tomorrow and the other four cabinet members will have twenty four hours to surrender to the the judge appear before him and he will then start investigating the case he will decide whether theyre going to be detained in custody whether there was a flight risk whether they have any objections to the arrest warrant so its a long and complicated procedure but still very much faster than what used to be in place so this allows. For other deposed cabinet ministers to Lodge Complaints or challenge the arrest warrants on two grounds either their human rights are being abused or something called double criminality and that is essentially the clause which looks at the charges of sedition here in belgium and see if the shape that the same of the charges. Sedition in madrid and of course there are very different here so its plenty of ground for a challenge on that double criminality clause so that in effect i think is what youll find the arrest warrants are challenged on and this will give the cabinet ministers and his self time to continue using the whole of the Legal Process to challenge the arrest warrant and spend time here maybe up to ninety days and which time of course that local Regional Election on december the twenty first will have taken place but it allows him using the safety and freedom of brussels and the legislation within the courts to carry on with his campaign and to make sure that the independence of catalonia and his campaign can be conducted from here in brussels so an extraordinary situation but we do expect sometime this weekend an investigative judge to be appointed either today or tomorrow and then tomorrow and the cabinet ministers will have to present themselves at the court. Wrap up there in brussels david thank you. A military assault to push out of a border city under its control in syria is underway russian jets are pounding up on the syria iraq border and the tourists or countryside six civilians were killed after residential areas were targeted syrian armys elite forces aided by iran backed shia militia and hezbollah fighters are leading this operation on the ground on friday i saw was pushed out of doors or city the armed groups last major urban stronghold in the country. And top advisor same Supreme Leader says Syrian Government forces will advance soon to retake rock a city tehran has been backing syrian president bashar assad on the battleground against opposition fighters and i mean you know the americans by locating in eastern iraq are trying to divide syrians into two parts of they tried to do in iraq they wont succeed in syria well witness in the near future the advance of government and Popular Forces in syria and east of the euphrates and the liberation of iraq a city go back to iraq in a moment but first lets talk the hotshot a whole bara about all these developments he is and ghazi on top on the turkey syria border saussure as i said well get to to that rock in a moment thats obviously important but lets focus right now. And the significance of whats happening there and its location. Russia now the russians i continue their strikes against targets now theyve been suspecting the top operatives to be basically dead book a man says this talk of pulling out from different parts of the country particularly rock and this is why they are aiming for the hideouts of the top operatives i mean the pows and also fortification posts they say that theyve managed to destroy many of them over the last forty eight hours however civilians in that are in the book i might say that dozens of people were killed over the last forty eight hours particularly all the. Book come out of the same time were seeing now the syrian army moving west from island mayor dean and a military base to words at a book about it about fifty kilometers from the area so were expecting them to arrive later by tomorrow and thats where the intense fighting could start between the syrian army and i i said is expected to put up fierce resistance there for Different Reasons is that its now squeezed on both sides of iraq and syria to it last its a Border Crossing going to come out three has nowhere to go with the side to retreat further east for example its a vast desert area and its a Good Movement will be on the spot intercepted by the russians and by the about it goes so the options for ice are really very little for them so i think they just continue the fight until the. Combat ok so lets go to rocket now or there is talk of the Syrian Government trying to retake that city and hosh and that seems to have a lot of different parties a lot of different groups on a collision course. Absolutely the implication is that will be very different for the simple reason is that you have the runs and controls the city of iraq is backed by the United States of america the syrian army is backed by russia and the syrian army made this quite clear over the last two weeks that it is determined once is. To move north towards the law and to control its goal the way towards that house like which is a stronghold of the kurdish taxes and later set its eyes on the east and also in the province of idlib which is the last remaining stronghold for the Syrian Opposition in syria if that happens if the syrian army moves back by the russians towards. What will be the next step for the americans are they going to abandon that in the region which is the s. D. F. Or are they going to try to work out a reconciliation and so you know i think the american are hoping to see a permanent solution to the crisis in syria but the s. D. F. Says that it would like to continue its push to create a state of which this is something that would create new political dynamics in the region if the russians and the americans a further trapped into this conflict that could have. Consequences to syria and to the region. The developments there joining us from gaza thank you. More than six hundred refugees have made a desperate plea to new zealands Prime Minister ahead of her meeting with her australian counterpart for years a new zealand had offered to resettle some of the refugees australia locked in its offshore prison camps and an asylum camp was decommissioned on tuesday but hundreds of refugees there theyre refusing to lean they cuz they fear being attacked by locals. We are pleading the International Community to discuss what is going on on models i love the movement is a human journey and crisis and no one will help us all if the International Community will intervene in this and we are begging the new Zealand Government to rescreen us because new zealand is the only country today and they have been fighting again and again and again they want to get us out of the center. The tense standoff on menace island has been the focus of weekend rallies in several all civilian cities thomas went to the gathering and seventy. The central message of this protest is bring them here the refugees who were sent to the pacific gardens of mass improper new guinea and the route before a half years ago have suffered enough and should be brought to australia in the more immediate time of course a concern very concerned about conditions inside the walls australia is frozen on the minus on in the six hundred men who are refusing to leave that facility now being without fresh water without food and without power. Is mine a Drinking Water there. And water that are getting out of the self bill well but there are real concerns about dysentery and other Health Problems inside the prison now australias government says those men have been in accommodation elsewhere all minus all and but the United Nations and other sites that accommodation isnt ready for them yet still a construction site and the refugees any why site that accommodation isnt site by site that it isnt protected from the locals who want to do them harm who dont welcome them into the community and many of those refugees when they have been out of that prison in the past have. Well we spoke to a few of the protesters here and heres some of what i had to say is appalling and your. Point. I think i think i think. Its completely and utterly horrible and i think its really. Stands. Out we really need to get off message across. These men who are suffering. On sunday in new zealand Prime Minister comes to australia to talk to her australian counterpart. Has said that she sticks by an offer made by her freedom to take one hundred fifty of the refugees and resettle them.

And military assault of a border city under its control in syria is underway. On the syria iraq border and they tell us or countryside syrian armys elite forces are leading the operation on the ground more than six hundred refugees have made a desperate plea Prime Minister ahead of her meeting with her counterpart. To resettle some of the refugees from the commission and run prison camp. The u. N. Says more than a million have fled persecution in myanmar many are living in camps in neighboring bangladesh but hundreds have managed to find a new home in the u. S. Especially in the city of chicago john hunter and reports. Half a world away from e. M. R. Hundreds of really hinges have found a distant refuge in americas midwest but for many like abduljabbar a manilla their thoughts are of home their relatives in pictures and videos of their villages on fire you make me very sad and i mean even though im here in safety in you know it has to be when im. Going to sit in here so i feel not happy some four hundred range of families about fifteen hundred people have moved here to chicago in the citys Rohingya Cultural Center they gather for help in applying for jobs and get medical advice they also come to plead for help for their relatives in me anymore or as many still call it burma only solution us military and United Nation because china india everyone is silent so you made me force military save life and this and people didnt need your help those here are learning to speak english. And theyre starting from scratch part of that. In burma is that they have no real access to state education and so when they get to america to be resettled they can be forty fifty sixty years old and have no education whatsoever which means that my teaching english we have to start right at the beginning with the phonetic alphabet and just the sounds of the language and. They come here to divonne avenues some call it the most diverse street in america landing place of successive wave of immigrant to chicago from eastern europeans to Orthodox Jews pakistanis indians and now theyre all hinges. Here they form their own community where they share their own store and their own worries im worrying about the us have to know so i buy the food because the government not allowed any Aid International or United Nation it is a fear for those they left behind the really injured here comfort themselves in knowing it least theyve brought some of them to safety john hendren aljazeera chicago this president has visited pearl harbor during a stopover in hawaii before him marks on his First Official visit to asia pearl harbor of course was the scene of that surprise attack by japan in one thousand nine hundred one that plunged the u.
