from barcelona also in this program. where. police released dramatic body camera footage of the last biggest massacre investigators say the gunman was methodical and meticulous correspondent is in las vegas with the latest. hello i'm terry martin good to have you with us spain's king philippe has harshly criticized catalonia his bid for independence in a televised address he accused catalog leaders of acting outside the law in carrying out a referendum on independence last weekend despite that catalan is later told the b.b.c. the region would declare independence in quote

a matter of days his threat comes after thousands of pro independence supporters demonstrated in barcelona protesting police violence during the secession but. i'm impassioned voices some seven hundred thousand strong a powerful message that cut alonso are united against police brutality and what they see as the flagrant suppression of catalonian sovereignty by the madrid government weighing in on the fray spain's king philippe voiced support for the state's actions urging authorities to defend the constitutional order against what he says are illegal calls for independence by the catalano regional government. their decisions have systematically violated the legally and legitimately approved rules and demonstrated an unacceptable disloyalty towards the powers of the state. precisely a state those authorities in catalonia represent. missing from his

address to the nation any mention of the brutal crackdown by federal police on trying to cast their votes on sunday and a mission that didn't go unnoticed by protesters. he ignores the images of police violence seen around the world. without any violence or provocation from the people. of course the spanish government and especially the king defend the unity of spain. it seems he's not interested in the opinion of two or three million people. so we're afraid that police violence will escalate we're waiting for some help from their european institutions so far the response from e.u. leaders has been muted but residents in one barcelona neighborhood are amplifying their message to brussels that this crisis isn't just bad for spain but affects the

entire european union. did obvious funny is in barcelona and joins us from there now members of color in his regional government are meeting this morning what are their options for moving forward in this situation. right terry even though everything really looks normal behind you right now all right public transportation is up and running again but this data is going to be quite special in spanish history in fact because as you just saw the parliament the regional parliament here catalonia is convening to be clear or to find out actually to find a date when they will take the independence within the next day or maybe early on that three weeks it's a quite a special day today we don't know what that's going to lead to coming up max but we do know is that the president often catalonia. is going to deliver a speech majnu in at his office here in barcelona so definitely there will be an

announcement made today the next step that's the big question of how the central government in madrid is going to react to that announcement today and the content of that announcement today from catalonia. or so it sounds like the declaration of independence says is a foregone conclusion must be very tense moments there in catalonia and the rest of the country you mention the central government in spain all the spanish king also is looking at this of course very carefully took the unusual step of addressing the country we heard a short excerpt on our report what else did he have to say. well he pretty much made sure that everybody knows that the responsibility for this crisis for the situation is entirely within cuts alone even though of course a lot of people here in catalonia disagree with that in fact a lot of people are upset because the king king felipa did not make any reference to the violence on sunday he missed

a moment to actually look for unity between that and a barcelona look for dialogue a lot of criticism critics say but he pointed out there is hope of some sort of unification once this tough situation is over we don't know when that's going to be he also aside and called for responsibility here from the cut alone and government saying that they did not only broke break the law of the constitution but also the status of catalonia when it comes to autonomy now what that exactly means whether in fact the catalonia government is going to be dismissed by the central government is a different question but whatever all the things he said he delivered in a very harsh tone so everything a dialogue they are but rather more about lashing out basically on the catalonian government this crisis finally has implications for all of europe the european parliament is set to discuss the situation in catalonia later today is there any

sign that the e.u. could somehow intervene possibly is immediate. well that's exactly what the president of catalonia month is hoping for but there are no clear science yet i mean as you just pointed out there's going to be a parliamentary session today about this issue they have put this agenda in brussels on their agenda the situation in spain but so far they say a lot of european politicians say that this is a domestic issue and people the government the central government in motherhood as well as a regional government in catalonia they need to find find a way out to resole the situation so at this point no there's no mediation from a party ok bonnie thank you so much t w it's funny reporting live from barcelona. to the us now are fresh details are emerging of the horrific shooting in las vegas that killed fifty nine people and injured five hundred more investigators say the

shooter prepared extensively for the attack even setting up cameras outside his room in the mandalay bay hotel to warn of approaching police the massacre has renewed the debate around gun control in the u.s. says president donald trump prepares to visit las vegas later today visitors have begun returning to the iconic las vegas strip but the city is still recovering from the horror of sunday nights when it became the scene of the deadliest mass shooting in modern u.s. history. the killer sixty four year old steven paddock a multimillionaire real estate investor and high stakes gambler. police body cam video captured the minutes when he opened fire on a crowd of concert goers from his hotel room on the thirty second floor of the mandalay bay hotel.

investigators are still puzzled over his most of federal agents are questioning his girlfriend who has now returned to the u.s. from the philippines officials have revealed the shooter set up cameras in the hallway outside his room so he could see if the police were approaching this individual was premeditated obviously premeditated the fact that he had this type of weaponry an amount of weaponry in that room it was preplanned extensively and. police recovered nineteen guns at targets home in the nevada town of mesquite in addition to twenty three found in his vegas hotel room. officials said the killer manipulated his rifles using so-called pump stocks they allow semiautomatic guns to

shoot rapidly and continuously as if they were fully automatic weapons. the massacre in vegas has reignited the debate over gun laws one that has divided the country for decades democrats have renewed their demands for tougher legislation i have requested of the president to call us together democrats and republicans to come up with a reasonable solution before he was a candidate and marched in lock step to the n.r.a. donald trump expressed very reasonable position on gun control but the white house is resisting the pressure president trump has said gun controls will be discussed quote as time goes by well joining us now from las vegas is our senior washington correspondent carson phenomena causton is there any sign that president trump and is fellow republicans in congress are ready to consider a stricter gun controls. not really if we have

been here before basically every time such a tragic event happens and it happens a lot here in the united states on a regular basis really there are calls for stricter gun laws particularly from the democratic side of the aisle but also from activist groups other the same time as pushback than from republicans from the powerful national rifle association pro-gun lobby and this will not change basically donald trump the president also ran on a platform that said he would protect the rights to bear arms and he will stick to that because the people who wants to have guns and want to have the right at least to have guns who think that guns are part of their identity they form a very important part of donald trump's platform but to be honest it's not just politicians and lobbyists and activists involved here we had

a chance today in las vegas to talk to on the rich people in the streets in a random survey that so listen what they had to say. something should be done i guess more or. a better look at who's able to actually get a gun i mean me personally i don't like them i don't believe it and i'm completely against guns but everybody is entitled to their own opinion and free speech i don't know that gun control could ever prevent something like this i haven't heard what type of weapons he used but after assume it was not a readily available type of firearm to do what he did with it people kill people i have nothing against guns going no one is fully automatic guns i see no use for that i have no issues with guns it's people not the guns the only people who actually own guns is the military and the police really citizens they get angry and they have a gun and this is what happens. so

a lot of disunity here in the united states of america and i'm afraid this controversy will go on in las vegas in washington and in the country as a whole. because tonight a stand that donald trump is due to visit vegas today how do people there feel about the way he's responded to the last biggest massacre so far. well initially i think many people most people even thought that he hit the right tone he stayed above the political fray and he basically. played the role that the president has to play here as a consoler in chief so to speak but since then of course especially those people who don't like the president have criticized him for his statement for instance that he would look into the issue as time goes by they believe that he's just

trying to play for time and hope that the events and also the pressure to have stricter gun laws will go away and so people are quite curious what he will say what he will do when he comes to las vegas but once again people who are critical of him think that he probably will just talk about himself others hope that he can bring the country together that he will praise the first responders who according to everything i've heard from survivors we did a great job here so they hope that he will focus on those aspects ok cost and thank you so much senior washington correspondent carson phenomena talking to us from las vegas. news of an internet security problems much bigger than we saw yahoo now says that all three billion of its user accounts were affected by a two thousand and thirteen data breach not the one billion it revealed late last year the company said user information such as passwords credit card numbers or
