including invoking article one if you do five. so back it goes to barcelona madrid no society there is split some separatist wants a session now others a nervous half the population hates the whole idea how long should they wait we know there are very important governments and people around the world who are ready to assist in mediation we got the group of the elders with coffee and with a banking on with that one to two who are ready to exercise their mediation the only small detail which we are missing is that we have nobody on the other side of the table because it just said he was not accepting mediation all the while europe looks on surely not another country fracturing itself there is no support at all in brussels for the catalan independence movements madrid knows that it is the side with the powerful friends. many people in madrid regard roy's statements his demand

that catalonia clarify its position on independence as a shrewd one by putting the ball straight back in catalonia courts it potentially exposes divisions inside the independence movements that might buy madrid some time take the pressure out of the immediate situation but also leave the crisis open ended. where the protestors in barcelona go from here is a good question madrid would like nothing more than for them to turn on each other destroy their own movements that would rule out the need for mediation which madrid insists there is no place laurence li al jazeera which it. can cause for go from here. we don't know what he's going to say or when he's going to say it we haven't a hint of what the government's position might be from an interview with al-jazeera by a senior member of his coalition in which he basically says look what they're offering here is dialogue without preconditions they're talking about a framework for mediation. that really doesn't have

is a very strong trading partner with turkey the two countries do about twenty billion dollars you know bilaterally every year and trade seventeen hundred u.s. companies do business with turkey he says it's that both sides are very dependent on each other economically and he is hopeful that the two countries can get past this latest crisis you know want to be very clear we don't want these dispute to last more than a second. we responded you know likewise because to a proud nation we are a sovereign nation. you know we seeing that. you know the decision to be reversed now additionally defense secretary james madison's he's continuing to work with his counterpart diplomatically on military operations in

turkey he said that they are continuing to talk again he reaffirmed today that turkey is a very strong nato ally to the u.s. turkey is also home to a very important and strategic air force base so everyone involved here is optimistic at least hopeful that this tit for tat so to speak over these pieces will be resolved quickly. joshua was a fellow at the german marshall fund a nonprofit aimed at strengthen incorporation between the united states and europe he says this issue has been a long time coming. it's been simmering this exploded and it caught everyone by surprise because it was a very technical issue that was announced on twitter in terms of these is being suspended the church responded in kind literally verbatim with the same these a suspension this is a first time is to nato allies have not been able to visit each other people the people exchanges they're trying to dress it up to say well it's these as it's not

that big a deal but this is a big deal and i think they want to resolve it both sides i mean these are two nato allies things from syria to cyprus to russian relations to turkey's internal politics with the domestic ongoing unrest that the organization has been accused of the failed coup i mean everything is at stake in some ways for turkey to save the u.s. in a regional alliance and this is a really big deal and it doesn't seem that in some ways is this. escalation in some ways something as technical as these that something as technical as going after a turkish citizen who works at the consulate this is an interesting escalation u.s. president donald trump has denied reports he wants to dramatically increase the size of the country's nuclear arsenal u.s. mania published the report citing three on named officials has acknowledged policy differences between himself and top republicans and his cabinet and congress bought he's rejecting claims he saw a ten fold increase in washington stock of nuclear weapons now to sing his senators

making the case that trade can and will be good for all citizens before justin trudeau came here to the canadian embassy to address the media he was sitting in the oval office with donald trump point donald trump said whether or not there was a new deal really still is in the hands of the negotiator so it's possible we won't be able to make a deal and it's possible that we will we have a great personal relationship and we have a relationship now as as two countries i think. but we'll see if we can do the kind of changes that we need we have to protect our workers and in all fairness the prime minister wants protect to. can the people also the three governments a third of time feel at the end of the year to come up with a new no agreement justin trudeau would still believe that possible but you go from here in washington to mexico we'll meet with the president to discuss the progress in the thought of what to do if there can't be an agreement still ahead on the
