2030. it isa it is a time to have a review of the news. what is making headlines around the world 7 news. what is making headlines around the world? we thought we would start with the spanish daily leading on the catalonian push for independence, of course, on the digital front independence, of course, on the digitalfront page, with independence, of course, on the digital front page, with a independence, of course, on the digitalfront page, with a clip of the king's attack and accusation on separatists and on the catalan authorities. meanwhile, outside spain, in the times, on its world page, following the devastation in barcelona yesterday, where thousands of people including these firefighters protested against police violence during the vote. and a political football of course, gulf news looking at the future of la liga,

with fc barcelona considering leaving if catalonia gains independence. and then of course the other story dominating on the front of the independent with a very sombre front page, remembering 15 people out of the 59 killed in the las vegas treating on sunday night, early monday morning. on the financial times, brussels chasing hundreds of millions of dollars in back taxes. and a rise in museum curators collecting memorabilia from contemporary protests in the us in a bid to record the current political climate. well, joining us is david buick. good morning. ajoy, as always. we have given a tale of two

perspectives on catalonia, the madrid view from the king, then of course the really strong sea of orange of the firefighters in catalonia on what is going to continue to be a most extraordinary story. the biggest public relations disaster that i can remember. here is king felipe vi in extremely austere, and he has obviously had to stamp his authority, saying the referendum is illegal, you shouldn't have done it, you're part of spain etc, and of course against that you have to be very critical of prime minister rajoy and his government for allowing the situation to get so out of hand. if they felt they could not stop the referendum just say, look, if you want an unofficial poll, go ahead, but you are part of spain whether you like it, and any action taken as a result of the poll

cannot be done without the spanish authority's agreement.” cannot be done without the spanish authority's agreement. i agree with you about the pr disaster. but if you about the pr disaster. but if you had even an unofficial poll, a referendum poll, which says, yeah, 85% of people in catalonia went out, thatis 85% of people in catalonia went out, that is difficult to overturn. only 4296 that is difficult to overturn. only 42% actually voted who were eligible to vote. and, to be honest, if you are going to get something absolutely worth pursuing and anyway, you would need more, in my opinion, to have any credence. it is all very well to say that we declare independence. really? where are you going to get energy from, who is going to get energy from, who is going to get energy from, who is going to trade with you and currency? it takes years and years to work out. as we are finding out. and the eu won't touch this story. and the eu won't touch this story. and they won't even condemn it, which i find disgraceful. the behaviour by the police force, at

reprehensible, no question. and just to give the viewer is a sense of what was going on yesterday, we have covered it extensively, these are the firefighters protesting, as catalonia declared a day of protest, the most wealthy region came to a standstill. 2096 of gdp comes from catalonia, and the leading peace in gulf news, barcelona's football club, with pique, who was booed when he went to the national squad, this isa he went to the national squad, this is a serious part or spanish foot ball is a serious part or spanish football and life in general. is a serious part or spanish football and life in generalm is a serious part or spanish football and life in general. it is interesting, isn't it, you are not just a footballer, at you're going to have to take a position. which of course for pique is uncomfortable as the spanish national squad gather together for the world cup qualifiers. ok, let's move on. of course, this story that's been on

since sunday night, awful, awful situation, and now we are learning about the individuals. the victims. ever since the independent... their front page has always been so much better than anyone else's in terms of telling a story by the picture on the front page. this is, as you say, sally... you're not a shareholder, aru? certainly not! -- are you? and johnson press, which owns it, it would be the case. on a serious note, this is horrendous, and have been horrific pictures of when they broke down the hotel door, when they we re broke down the hotel door, when they were dealing with someone who can only be described as deranged. let me ask you, david, it is the worst in living memory, yeah, does it change the debate? unfortunately, it

doesn't. if you look at the united states, basically, you go around the coastline, the great lakes, they are democrats, elsewhere, devoted to guns, democrats, elsewhere, devoted to gui'is, very democrats, elsewhere, devoted to guns, very liberal, and what is unbelievable is you cannot believe the republicans cannot find a candidate that can save, you know, you can still be a republican but you can still be a republican but you don't need these kind of guns in your homes. just completely ridiculous! let's change tack com pletely ridiculous! let's change tack completely now and talking of things changing, or will we see the way companies, multinationals, operate, changing as a result of the eucommission‘s mission to get the likes of luxembourg the likes of sweetheart deals to amazon and

apple? this thing started off with ireland in dire straits after the financial crisis in 2008 —09, so to entice amazon and apple on a low rate of tax, 4%, is exciting for them, so they make a lot of money, help the irish economy recover, then the eu says, you are so 13 billion euros in back tax. ireland don't even want them to pay it. and until everyone says tax loopholes are closed, it is all was going to be a negotiation. ireland were playing the game, maybe not to this extent, before the crash. it has been a long—running strategy, rather than just a recovery. will it be levelled out not necessarily by the actions of the european commission but national governments like donald trump who wants to reduce corporation tax in the united states, here in the uk we talked

about that, you know, countries competing...? there about that, you know, countries competing... ? there is about that, you know, countries competing...? there is no doubt, but will you kill it off? no. one of the reasons going back to george osborne getting the corporation tax rate down to 19%, and you heard the labour party manifesto last week wanting to get it back up to where george osborne had it before, it is quite hard to argue the toss. the reason the conservatives did it was to get business to this country and it is enticing. do you think the likes of amazon and apple, this huge —— these huge monolithic companies, do they have funds for these moments? have they spent it, reassigned it, or do they know it will come back at some point? in the case of apple, the fine is 15 billion... so what, 250 billion in cash. apple has 250 billion in cash. amazon is not the same. it could be more difficult for amazon. it

depends on the company. very much so. depends on the company. very much so. they have this thing or spend, spend, spend. they went 22 years without making profit. in the last three years it has become this incredible thing. they can't afford to lose it. interesting in the new york times, collecting things as it happens. wonderful. african american history, i suspect it is in new york, i suspect it is because it is the new york times, let's assume, but they have collected t—shirt and memorabilia from all of the sort of demonstrations and various political brawl that their has been in the united states. and i think that there will be tremendous support for it -- there will be tremendous support for it —— at raw. there will be tremendous support for it -- at raw. history in the making. indeed. thank you for having me. it has been wonderful. have a lovely day. goodbye. hello. wednesday's weather gets off to a fine start for some of us, but things will have changed by wednesday night.

wet and windy again. a chilly start to wednesday, particularly in rural spots, and there will be an area of rainfall, having moved south through scotland overnight and stretching across parts of northern ireland. it's this weather front here, but it's this low pressure which will move along a central swathe of the uk on wednesday night, turning things wetter and windier. along with this weather fronts searching through scotland and northern ireland, showers heavy and thundery in the far north of scotland and northern isles, with some very gusty winds to begin the day, though both elements will ease as we go through the day. across a large part of england and wales, getting off to a chilly but fine start. a lot of sunshine around. there will be a few showers running into parts of north—west england, with increasing cloud here. increasing cloud across northern ireland as well, and again some outbreaks of rain particular to the north. and the stretching through parts of south—west scotland, dumfries and galloway. for much of northern scotland, some sunshine. very windy in the far north and northern isles to begin with. 50—60 miles per hour gusts. but the heavy showers gradually ease during the day. elsewhere, rain starting to pick up. cloud increases and wet in northern ireland

in the afternoon. south—west scotland, north—west england, and some outbreaks into northern parts of wales as well. temperatures generally in the mid—to—low teens. so an area of low pressure bringing rain across many parts of the uk on wednesday night. looking very wet into lancashire, for example. we need to watch that. in the southern flank, some gales developing. we could well see some gusts of 50—60 miles per hour. so the chance of disruption as thursday begins. thursday is very windy. rain soon clearing away from southern parts of england. a few showers into northern scotland, some irish sea coasts, maybe parts of north—west england the north midlands as well. many places dry with sunny spells. temperatures again generally around the mid—to—low teens. a windy day. on friday, high pressure building. things starting to quieten down a bit. lighter winds, variable cloud, sunny spells, many places dry. it doesn't last too long, though. into the weekend, we see another area of low pressure. not quite as strong, but still some rain—bearing weather fronts pushing across the uk. so expect a lot of cloud on saturday and some outbreaks of rain spreading south and east as the day goes on. breezier, again, and the temperatures around 13—16 degrees. as that system eases away for sunday, still some sunny spells around, one or two showers, but it is a quieter weather

picture on sunday. hello this is breakfast, with charlie stayt and louise minchin. spain on the brink as the authorities in catalonia say they will declare independence in days. the spanish king appeals for unity after hundreds of thousands of protestors take to the streets. good morning, it's wednesday 11th october. also this morning... go that way! get out of here! police release dramatic bodycam footage of officers responding to the mass shooting in las vegas.
