because we already made sure that we organize ourselves in the evenings for our protest. well, if he had managed to achieve is to have to leave. and so just come out to number 2 kilo people, especially in the evening. so every morning we have to count the number of people that we have told us was that event of indiscriminate shooting. but i think our determination to be until you came to fight him for while so proceed the violence that has been released on time. we heard then in the report the government calling for dialogue rather than protests. who do you, what would you say to that? that is not true. this government is not at all committed to any form of because if

the government was committed to look at the port to be, it will not say to our people that they can submit petitions through email and then shut the internet down as well speaking. now the internet is down and so it has been down since yesterday. yet people said that they made petitions through the, into the government to shut all the doors for petition by building a few. that comments is at 6 p. m o 5. and it continues to kill people, so we don't understand when on one hand they came, but they're committed to catalog on another hand, they continue to keep our people. this is what is the main demand or the opposition our main demands. i'll try to keep our demand that the most immediate defect called all the so just that the on the streets and

counterpart from catalonia talks made possible by the pardon and release of 9 capital and political leaders jailed for their part in organizing and illegal referendum on independence from spain in 2017 days after their release, one of the 9 told me the fight for independence goes on. these is not other at all . this is not over. these is simply a new starting point and a new starting point requires new tools, new opportunities, new spaces, probably new faces, no problem. but this is what it is about. social is prime minister petro sanchez, has gambled on the subdued mood of independence minded catalan's. following the pandemic, hoping to shore up his left wing coalition that includes capital and pro independence parties in the spanish parliament. prime minister sanchez clearly believes now is the time for our grand gesture towards the capital and politically self serving, of course long enough away from the next election to be able to absorb right wing

fury and the opportunity to take the remaining heat of the independence movement. here, with the offer of talks towards an unspecified solution, i 1st met ro, romania when he was capital and foreign minister, defiantly outspoken in the violent wake of the 2017 referendum. now, after nearly 4 years in jail, he said the spanish offer was an empty gesture. in any position you put your proposal on the table when we demand the state is to put a proposal in your proposal. we put our proposal. we thought that's what politics is about and we have to be allowed to put on that table. what we understand is the solution that more than mark received the self that the munition and stop preparation. that's amnesty sanchez has made clear they will be no legal vote on independence. so what chance of reconciliation remains? the question is whether this finance government is going to be able to put

something on the table and buy something. i mean, the proportion for farther power source and to get the loan. and the big question is whether this proportion is going to be, i'm be reaching out to divide the bring up and that's moving in between dollars. hardliners will never accept anything of independence on those that may be interested in this. the independent side has some of its strongest leaders back banned from political office until 2030 though what they're unable to provide is direction. don't a whole al jazeera barcelona. the chinese communist party, celebrating at 17 re, an elaborate light show was one of several events held to mark the anniversary. the communist party laid the foundation of modern china ruling the country through decades of isolation and then into becoming a global power. people not celebration the founding. the communist party include

a real product that you will be able to buy one day. while this slight represents a milestone in this nice market, it isn't the only prototype in town, and it needs a runway to take off and land. and like the competition models such as the speed have also conducted the initial test. this one in a desert in australia earlier in june for one car race. then there's russia hub, a taxi flying taxi service. i got its 1st showing in january in a stadium. it will need runways, the inventor says it will be able to fly in and out of pipe parking spaces and can carry a combined load of $300.00 kilos. perfect for the wheat shop, perhaps. but with the technology taking off, there is the question of exactly how they will fit into today's world. i'm slightly

skeptical about it. as a says in much the world of very crowded, you've got strict regulations and traffic control. ports are pretty much a capacity already. the going codes maybe a sample in film depicting dystopian futures, which gems would still be a problem, a piece prototype section that the fantasy is now within reach that maybe point. imagined that funny guy? yeah. go out there thomas bought know his gemma. thank you laura. and while from flying cars to play as flying all over the place at wimbledon, where the talk of the tournament so far has been more about play a safety than the tennis concerns remain over the state of the grass called soft a. yet more players slips on day 3. 1 of those was the number one and defending

the 2019 that you are safe in champion and said the court was super slippery and she fell about 6 times and australian nick kerry also, he could have really done some damage after a nasty fool during his when that match was found on tuesday, then resumed on wednesday and with the score thrill and the deciding set, curio eventually winning 97 bit of an essay that one to reach the 2nd round. it's just, sometimes it's one of the golf, you know, especially i think the games evolve nail where the so many rallies in places like capable of making, you know, 70 returns or making that extra bowl where the body is actually not supposed to be in those positions. thought thing and people slip over and then injuries happen and then you know, the load as well, like these plays, the played a lot of matches and the tennis schedule is brutal walk. it's actually brutal. like you got the french open, then you got like straight on the graph and you just expected to bring out your best tennis from. wait, wait, that wimbledon officials have defended the playing surface, releasing

a statement saying, the preparation of the grass court has been to exactly the same meticulous standard as in previous years. each court has checked the head of play commencing, and we are happy with the conditions and cleared the courts for play. the weather conditions have required the reef to be closed on center court and number one court for long periods. this is at the time when the graph plant is that it's most lush and green, which does result in additional moisture and what is a natural surface? well, andy murray also slept quite badly during his 2nd round match against oscar. ot that one has just finished. but it didn't stop him from coming out on top in a 5 set thriller, which lasted nearly 4 hours. and despite no joke of which losing his fitting as well as we showed you earlier, he had a much more straightforward when kevin anderson, just like he did the 2018 room. and finally the number one seat. it didn't face
