this is the w. news live from berlin a crucial intervention and spain's constitutional crisis king philip a slammed the catalonians independence dead as an unlawful that has hundreds of thousands of rally in the streets to protest police violence against voters will get reactions

from brussels also coming up. for drug program. where. police release dramatic body camera footage of the las vegas massacre investigators say the gunman was methodical and meticulous our correspondent is in las vegas with the latest. in the biggest data breach in history that's as ya would miss all three billion of its users were affected by a hack in two thousand and thirteen. i'm sumi so misconduct good to have you with us spain's king philippe has harshly criticized catalonia as bad for independence in a televised address he accused catalan leaders of acting outside the law and carrying out a referendum on independence last weekend now despite that catalonia as leader told

the b.b.c. the region would declare independence and quote a matter of days his threat comes after thousands of pro independence supporters demonstrated in barcelona protesting police violence during the session a vote. 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. 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 either leaders has been muted but residents in one barcelona neighborhood are amplifying their message to brussels that this crisis isn't just down for spain but

affects the entire european union. we have our correspondents on the ground covering this story for us funny for charice been tracking the latest developments in barcelona and max hoffman is in strasburg where the european parliament is discussing spain's political crisis good to see you both a funny let's start with you colonias regional government meeting this morning what more can you tell us. radical a problem and in fact still convenes and they're trying to decide or trying to answer the question not whether they're going to declare independence but when they are going to be clear in the pendants and a split from spain what i'm hearing is that the main policies of the government are asking the catalonian government to declare independence on a monday if that's going to be the final decision it will not know probably for even tonight at nine p.m. when the president of the government of the catalonia government is going to issue a statement or originally he was supposed to issue this statement at noon so there

is some sort of a has it in steer and probably that has to do with the fact that the government is also waiting for some reactions from brussels as the european parliament convenes there to you and put that issue of the independence movement on their agenda max let's come to you as funny said this is on the agenda there today where you are on strasburg and we have heard a catalan prime minister praised him or he's accused the e.u. of being indifferent to what's happening what's the response to that there. from the perspective here in strasbourg where the european parliament is we can't confirm any kind of indifference on the contrary some very emotional scenes also. involving spanish parliamentarians and also spanish officials one even cried today when recounting what was happening in his country and of course we have the debate that was that was scheduled for today at fifteen hundred so indifference would be

the wrong word but of course it's true that the e.u. institutions especially the e.u. commission really hasn't done anything there would be some scenario is thinkable what they could do for example acting sort of as a mediator but other than that it's quite hard for the e.u. as a whole to act here because the legal situation is quite clear you have an e.u. member state acting within the legal framework that's what spain is doing on top of that prime minister most likely told his colleagues and the e.u. commission to stay out of it so from the perspective from strasburg and brussels we're dealing with it you member state spain and not you member state catalonia. you mention those calls for the e.u. to mediate it is brussels are ready to step in is that going to be decided there today. that's not what the parliament itself could decide what we're expecting though is

a whole range of opinions being expressed reflecting the whole debate and of course the two big moderate parties have already said that they intend to call for mediation not necessarily mediation from the e.u. institutions but to have the two parties get back to the negotiating table everybody condemns police violence although of course the more conservative party say listen what we have here is a state trying to uphold the rule of law and if we criticize that if we are not on board with that as the european union then the e.u. has a huge problem the farther left you go within the spectrum of the parties the more they condemn police violence funny let's come back to you know we heard max say there that the e.u. wants to get both sides of the parliament back to the negotiating negotiating table is it too late for that you said yourself that the government has said it would declare independence a by monday is there really no going back well that's

a good question i mean everything is possible in politics i would say as long as the channels of discussion of dialogue are open we haven't seen much of that in the theme of that aid and barcelona in fact none of that so far the president here of the regional government pushed him out is very very much determined to push ahead with independence now really the question is as i say what else is going to happen today what kind of reactions and possible discussions come out of the european parliament what is the central government in madrid going to say we already heard the spanish king making a statement yesterday delivering a speech said they're different how do you say different political discussions right now today that may lead or not lead to that final question to the asked or the question will there be a declaration of independence next week next week at all or not. all right our correspondents are funny for char reporting from barcelona from strasbourg thank

you both very much. let's take a look at some other stories making news around the world turkey's president tayyip erdogan has arrived in iran where he'll hold talks with his counterpart hassan rouhani about the kurdish independence referendum in iraq turkey already has several thousand ground forces stationed in northern syria erica wanless previously said he will not accept a kurdish state on turkey's border the berlin state opera reopened its doors on tuesday night after seven years and four hundred million euros of renovation works chancellor angela merkel was among the guests at the opening gala on the day of german unity the renovation clocked up a delay of four years with costs almost doubling. now fresh details are emerging of the horrific shooting in las vegas that killed

fifty nine people and injured more than five hundred 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 over gun control in the u.s. as president donald trump prepares to visit las vegas the view from the thirty second floor of the mandalay bay hotel where the gunman opened fire on to a crowd of concert goers below. he smashed two windows in his suis to take game as his victim's. body comforts it shows the police scrambling to locate the shooter and get people to safety they say the bullets rained down for between nine and eleven minutes.

the killer sixty four year old steven paddock a millionaire real estate investor and high stakes gambler investigators are still puzzling over his most of but they believe he meticulously planned the attack they say he even set up cameras i'd side his hotel room possibly to see if police were approaching this individual was premeditated obviously premeditated the fact that he had this type of weaponry and amount of weaponry in that room it was pre-planned extensively investigators find twenty three guns in the room along with so-called bomb stock devices for thora see say they could have been used to modify his semiautomatic guns allowing them to shoes rapidly and continuously they found other stashes of guns in paddocks homes in the nevada tens of reno mesquite federal

agents are hoping his girlfriend can shed some light on his motives she's being questioned after returning to the u.s. from the philippines u.s. president donald trump is due to arrive in las vegas later today where he'll meet with victims of the attack he has brushed off for new calls for greater gun controls saying now is not the time for a political device when we ask people in las vegas about their expectations ahead of president trump's visit. i think it's great that it's coming i think he should be here this. catastrophic event for the town for the state and for the country and they need to see him and hear him. you know embrace it personally and explain how he. is going to have his government react to the situation hopefully do something to stop this kind of stuff going on in this country anyway it's pretty tragic me and my wife are from boston first time i've

ever been here and we got caught we got caught up in it and it was you know i think you should just. what can you do i mean. really i wouldn't think i say you know visit the same if he's allowed him give a big speech like he does and and make out that he's the best person in the world and then off he goes back to his mansion oh i expect the police were in the tropicana when those went down the street and the police did a wonderful job here the best i seen and i think he's going to come here and praise them hopefully does because they did awesome awesome job which could be a lot more casualties. transplant visit to las vegas comes a day after his first trip to hurricane hit puerto rico at least thirty four people were killed when the storm thrashed the u.s. territory two weeks ago thousands are living in shelters and large portions of the island are still without electricity drinking water and phone lines the trumpet

ministrations been criticized for its response to the crisis and comments during his visit including the suggestions of the storm had quote thrown the u.s. budget out of whack have done little to call swelling anger and island in ruins it's been two weeks since hurricane maria right through here and there's still no electricity or running water. roberto cologne is seventy years old he says he's had no help from authorities sorry he's having to climb onto the roof himself to repair what he can he's using his car as a generator but he's paying a small fortune for gasoline he isn't expecting a lot to come out of the u.s. president's visit. and i hope donald trump will help puerto rico you know that the u.s. is spending many millions because of the hurricanes in florida and houston so we must be patient. i mean so much to me your know. donald trump has rejected claims

his government's response has been too slow and he suggested hurricane maria wasn't as bad as previous storms. but what i would like every death is a horror but if you look at a real catastrophe like katrina and you look at the tremendous hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that. met a few selected storm survivors and officials during his visit but he is fleeting it barely registers with residents like roberto cologne all he managed to see was a quick glimpse of air force one as it flew his destroyed harmed trumps a visit doesn't change much for people in puerto rico many here say they feel like second class citizens abandoned by washington. still to come on the program the

biggest data breach in history yahoo admits a two thousand and thirteen hack affected all three billion of its users. and the nobel prize assembly has just announced the winner of this year's prestigious chemistry award will tell you exactly who won and why. now european regulators continue to a tighten the screws on u.s. tech companies that are queues of tax avoidance card that's right so many e.u. antitrust regulator moderator for starters take an island to task referring it to the blocks highest court on wednesday for failing to collect a massive thirteen billion euros in back taxes from apple the commission had ordered ireland to do that one years ago the commission also ordered amazon to pay two hundred fifty million euros in back taxes to luxemburg the start of the small western european country have granted the online shopping giant an illegal tax break meaning almost three quarters of its profits have gone on taxed now germany's

dax blue chip index shot up with morning trading to its highest level ever so let's go straight into the action cross over to the frankfurt stock exchange where my usually unusually excited calm he only balances standing by we are still below thirteen thousand points i gather but another record nonetheless what has caused this surge. yeah i think the instigator was the records all around the dax not generally in europe but if you look at the united states the dow the then the nasdaq the s. and p. five hundred and the m.s.c.i. world which is a picture of the leading shares around the world all with record highs and fundamentally the situation is such here in germany that the companies are also earning good money and traders say where else to put money with zero interest rates and with other asset classes like real estate for example already seeming in many

places a little bit overpriced is these days buoyancy in the market is not sustainable. and that's a good question some people say yes there's room for the dax to actually jump over the thirteen thousand point level the dax didn't reach that this morning instead steam is basically gone out of the market at the moment but yes they say it's sustainable because of the fundamentally good corporate earnings situation and because of solid economic numbers as well that that are blowing this development here but there are people who are saying look out the market has gone up and up and up there's never really been a real breather except for moments and some shares in wall street seem overheated there's the real estate market and of course are also political risks out there that could also have to be taken into consideration from germany let's let's go back further south in europe the situation in catalonia makes itself felt across

markets now as it. that's right there's a statement out by the catalonians that there's going to be a statement by the government today and that put it down for here that's seen as part of the reason for profit taking after that record was reached and you know there's a statement by the spanish economics minister quinn does who says that your money is safe with cattle and banks and i think that's a warning signal to people the ibex madrid shares are going down that's a warning signal because whenever someone says your money is safe with the bank then customers and investors say why are they saying that there must be reason to doubt the safety. well about in frankfurt thank you meanwhile there's a more evidence of a fundamental rethink in the automotive industry as fold says it is planning to reduce spending on internal combustion engines by one and invest in electric cars instead that comes on top of four point five billion dollars investment in the

electric car sector announced earlier by ford the company's c.e.o. jim hackett says it is also completely retooling its operations to slash material costs by ten billion dollars and engineering cost finally half that in a bid to get leaner and prepare for more people in the global motor. it looks like all those electric cars could eventually be running on sustainable energy because green energy grew at a record rate last year the international energy agency says almost two thirds of newly built power generation capacity in twenty sixteen utilizes renewable sources almost half of that new electricity was generated by solar cells for the first time solar grew faster than any other form of energy even coal thanks to a strong push in china he. says lower costs and helpful legislation made this rapid growth possible and it says it is specs the trend to continue for the foreseeable

future. now relations between the united states and cuba have gone from promising to ice cold in a matter of weeks last week the u.s. state department has issued a travel warning for u.s. citizens heading to the caribbean country it's a bitter blow for those on the island preparing for tourism. it's a picture postcard view of cuba but the united states says there's more than meets the eye its embassy employees were attacked and fellow americans should watch out. this hostile owner is disappointed. clients through agencies all have regular tourists over the years that are coming from france germany spain but those who opened with american a tourism and have collapsed. europeans just can't make up for the economic power of americans so says orlando martinez who drives tourists around in

havana in cuba's famous classic car. obviously the affects us because as far as i'm concerned american tourism is the best there is there's no other like it in terms of tips and everything and. cuba had prepared itself for one hundred sixty thousand visitors from the united states alone this year a wreck or for recent decades but it seems the predicted u.s. tourism boom will now be more of a bust. the huge hacking scandal is getting even bigger and soon yes that story that's right ahead yahoo nel says that all three billion of its users accounts were affected by a two thousand and thirteen data breach not the one billion that it revealed late last year the company said user information such as passwords credit card numbers or bank account details were not compromised the internet company is taking quote significant steps to offer its security. let's get more on this story

with cyber security expert brian honan he joins us from dublin he's also the advisor on internet security to europe poll that's the organization that assists e.u. member states in their fight against international crime and terrorism thank you very much for joining us on our program a three billion users his accounts were affected how could this breach have been so deep despite yahoo's own defenses as an instant question and to be quite frank we actually don't know yes and the history of this breach is. internet itself around this time last year. you know who were investigating a suspect to breach and then procter as part of those investigations discovered this particular bridge their initial. notification must have five hundred million accounts had been compromised but then some screen last year they announced it was one billion and your state it's going to treat it and we still don't know how the attack was got in or how far for part two is

a matter of state to get in as of we're still in the dark of it but i think it's it's important to realize that yahoo hasn't apparently had their hands around this breach on top just recently so this breach took place or the initial bridge was in two thousand and thirteen but if you are one of these three billion users affected what should you be doing now. well the first thing you should be doing is consider this change your password for yahoo account and just make sure you select a secure password or use a passphrase so. afraid something easy more easy remember and don't use the same password passphrase across your different social media her website presence because criminal try and use those passwords and needs to see the you can reuse them elsewhere. and where possible if the online accounts are using have to step

verification such as send you a text message by mobile phone with additional code to enter when you log on enable those as well. all right cyber security expert brian honan a speaking to us from dublin brian thank you for your insights thank you now it is a nobel prize a week and every day the royal swedish academy of sciences is announcing new laureates they've just awarded the two thousand and seventeen nobel prize in chemistry where the winners the royal swedish academy of sciences has decided to award the two thousand and seventy nobel prize in chemistry jointly to jack. york in frank and richard henderson and the academy citation runs for developing cryo electron microscopy for the high resolution structure determination of bio molecules in solution while our congratulations to these
