this is the dublin news live from berlin spain's prime minister tells catalonia to respect the role of low body on a row horia warns of grave consequences if the region follows through with its push for independence will take you to madrid and barcelona for reaction to that speech to spain's politics and discuss what it could mean for cats and i don't talk also on the program a german journalist appears in court into proceedings against mashallah tono began today she's facing terror related charges which she says are groundless. and d.-w. special series on being gay in today's russia every meet an activist fighting the country's laws against so-called gay propaganda. war.

i'm phil girl welcome to the program spain's prime minister has condemned catalonia for flouting spanish law and threatening the country's unity addressing the spanish parliament mariano rajoy hoary was sharply critical of catalonia his latest holding an independence referendum which he said was illegal and undemocratic he also called for clarity on the catalonians latest challenging catalogue leaders to state clearly whether they had actually declared independence mr rouhani said his government could invoke article one fifty five of the spanish constitution allowing madrid to take over direct rule of catalonia if it's like this try to break away he also rejected offers of international mediation in this ongoing crisis here is an excerpt from his speech in which he discusses catalonia regional president colors bootable in his man hands he has a possibility to return to the rule of law to legality and institutional normality as everybody wishes or to continue this period of confusion and upheaval that is

affecting catalonia in the rest of the country you know this and the response of the government will depend on his steps. well correspondence all of a salad martin the roberts joined us from barcelona and madrid welcome both martin robinson madrid will start with you what stuck out to you from mr rory's address to parliament. but he also got so many differentiated distinguish this from. the press this morning was that for the first time. actually. both. sides of. the referendum. so if you want to look at. you know. you know. and it's a very direct. piece i'm sitting next to the current. all

of us silence in barcelona where does this leave the castle on the leadership and in particular as opposed to go. well countless puts him on is finding himself in an increasingly difficult situation here it must be like going down a one way road and realizing that there is no return and not finding a way to return to where he wants started and that's because he is getting pressure from two sides really first of all from the government the central government in madrid from mariano not wholly the prime minister who's increasingly and repeating lee saying and trying to find out what he actually meant yesterday and put them on deliver his speech did he did clear independence there yesterday and if so already said that he would be able and ready to trigger the famous article one hundred fifty five and that means that an end to the government of qatar lonia here in full puts him on and on the other side they are is the coalition partner here the far

left c u p party that have given him an ultimatum they're also extremely unhappy with that speech yesterday they want within one month's independence that that puts them on the clear as independence and if not they will step down and that will mean an end to the government as well so it's a difficult situation it's absolutely unclear for him how to get out of this and if you speak to people here on the streets of barcelona many people are reminded by a poker game and they say that that puts them on yesterday went all in really and wrists slowly realizes that he doesn't have the best cards in his hand. take a look at another quote from a model of a voice a speech today in which he discusses that calls for outside mediation there have been numerous mediators who offered their services in the last days most of them. with the best of intentions in order to try and find. an exit to the situ israel situation i would like to thank them for their interest and their commitment but

there is no mediation possible between democratic law and disobedience and illegality. thanks but no thanks martin roberts in the madrid mariano rajoy seems to be taking a particularly hard line well if you look at state history i mean they didn't ask for. you know three armed conflicts were better armed separatists separatists you know that was a struggle lasted fifty years and you know. also. well what you have to look at is that spain is not in the same situation as. resistance and situations the middle east people actually killing each other yes is a process yes very different but we were nowhere near that station yes this is you know spanish constitution which as against that last one managed. military coup

in one thousand nine hundred. all of a salad some barcelona's not very good from the came about from the president's efficacy polygons and i've heard from the prime minister what is the mood and boss obama tonight. and especially because we've heard from the prime minister today and who's asking them on again what he meant by his speech there and this is also reflected in this is also what you hear here talking to people on the streets are so a lot of uncertainty people simply don't understand what happened here in this speech yesterday is catalonia going to become independent or not and if you speak to separatists they're very much disappointed of course because they stress that in this law calling for a referendum then within forty eight hours catalonia should have declared independence so there's a lot of frustration on that end but if you speak to others and that's the majority here and how the lonia the unionists for instance there is some relief right now

that this might lead to a happy end to spain for them in their point of view for that to spain not dividing but just how relieved they are we'll see tomorrow because there is another demonstration planned for the united for the unity of spain on assignments and the boss alone in moscow and robots in betrayed thank you both. markets were also keenly away saying the spanish prime minister's speech again hot alpha's is here with the economic side of the story with a happy ending that only the just mentioned on investors' mind because they've been nervous about the whole crisis because god alone in independence would have hurt the spanish economy and also affect the stability of the euro and rejoice speech seems to come to markets just have a look at the euro it immediately rose more than one zero point three percent after joy had begun his speech and the eye bags spain's main blue chip index jumped well over one percent at the same time actually was one point three five as you can see

that markets do not like uncertainty and they are actually shows that investors at least are confident that a solution to the crisis will soon be found and stability will return now so that check if that sentiment is reflected in other markets and cross over to john now in frankfurt you know given that this can't be the end of the story is that confidence justified. well the confidence is justified in the sense that the worst possible outcome appears have been averted at least for now from the markets perspective of course that is of course catalonia breaking off and expectations are running high here that the two sides will have to talk now they're obviously in a position where the two sides are now wrangling over the conditions over which these talks will take place but investors were expecting about this whole story has been correct arised by a very tight for a top quality. although of course it has to be said that investors are still

steeling themselves for the possibility that they're wrong and that harsher action out of madrid might actually push a less ambiguous ration of independence from the cat to landslide in which case investors would be prepared to review their business relationships in the region analysts and investors were also specially worried about the spanish banks are they safe now. well spanish banks themselves were very rare worried this week we saw yesterday that for example spanish banks stocked up on a lot of cash from the european central bank's weekly auction just in case the financing market in europe got very difficult for them in the wake of an independence that liberation now that hasn't happened and the spanish bank investors were all obviously in a very celebratory mood but you know this is an ongoing story even the international monetary fund has weighed in saying that the spanish banking sector may be resilient but the situation is still very fluid spanish banking investors are of course well aware that if the worst case scenario happens and catalonia does

break off then catalonia will need a new central bank and you currency and these are changes that the region are not is not in a position to affect you know the man in front the dow thank you. that's all your business for now it's back to get help thank you let's take a look at some other stories making news around the world police in kenya have fired tear gas at hundreds of opposition protesters a day after leader ran a withdrew from a really rather lengthy presidential election race the election results was a no by the country's supreme court which ordered a new vote for later this month. to treat a child when the wife of hollywood producer harvey weinstein has left him following fresh accusations that he sexually harassed under salted a number of women a new yorker magazine reporter thirteen women have now leveled accusations against him including three who say he raped them a spokesman for weinstein denied the allegations. are in turkey

a german journalist is on trial facing charges of belonging to a terror organization which allah told him he is one of dozens of journalists being held in turkish prisons following last year's final two cases one of many issues causing a freeze in relations between ankara and belin. prison eighty kilometers west of istanbul this is where the trial of german journalist and translator mashallah tulu is taking place serious charges have been brought against her and the group of seventeen others membership of an extreme left terrorist organization and involvement in terrorist propaganda according to toulouse lawyers she faces up to twenty years in jail. the evidence is very thin it seems very constructed. and it looks questionable as to whether what she's accused of or even crimes as they refer to appearances at public events that were not. the events which tulu appeared were organized by the extreme left group the m l k p

which is designated as a terrorist group in turkey a secret witness has also said that two lou had been actively helping their milk e.p. to lose father believes that the charges against his daughter will crumble before the court. i believe that the court will free my daughter and the other accused as well i have a feeling that there's a sixty to seventy percent chance. observers however don't feel of a fair constitutional trial they fear that as a german to lou could be used as a bargaining chip by ankara against the german government. corresponded to dorian jones a. door in the trials taking place in a courthouse at a prison complex hearing. well it's been a very busy day. always one of eighteen of the defendants in this collective case

she's been addressing the court she says that she's only been accused of what she did as a translator she says the case is unfounded before the case even started supporters of two have gathered outside the prison but before they could make a statement the police intervened but her father did intervene did speak ahead of that a protest and said that these came the evidence against her is totally unfounded and is the view of most international journalists organizations have been monitoring this and all of human rights organizations they say there's little or no evidence to justify even the case coming to court but what we do understand it is court cases moving very fast and possibly they could be a decision sometime they tonight or early tomorrow morning or some foreign journalists have already been released without trial since the coup attempt how authours is deciding who was released and who stays in jail. well it's very much it appears to be a very unclear pape process many people accusing the turkish justice system since

a failed coup becoming increasingly arbitrary more directed by political decisions rather than legal ones that is an accusation strongly denied by the government but it does appear as you say that there have been a number of journalists released most notably french journalists to the phrase journalism which attained in charge under similar charges to they were allowed to leave the country even though the case was still going on and many people say that it's because of the action of the french president marc who is being regular contact with the turkish prison he has built up somewhat of a. tween them creaking nearly every ten days and it seems that softly softly approach has paid dividends in stark contrast to there which is taking a very robust stance against turkey and its tear eating human rights record and in many ways burning the scene is the center of opposition turkish opposition to the government and that is leading to growing concerns that those detained eleven also germans detained are increasingly bargaining chips rather than anything to do the justice system turkey's government says it wants to repair relations with germany

is there much chance of that. well that is the feeling in my the turkish government in trying to play down all the angry and strong criticism coming from but it has all to do with election politics now the election is over a new government is in the offing there is saying that it will be business as usual but i think that is a very optimistic scenario because the two countries do have completely diametric views about what's going on in turkey but it is concrete lee voicing concern of the human rights situation an ongoing crackdown they see this is more of a power grab than anything to do to fend christie the governor says this is about democracy itself they defending against the ongoing threat posed by them trying to carry out a coup last year and until it somehow find a bridge between of two differences it's very hard to see how any progress can be made gordon jones in istanbul thank you. this is day dubliners live from berlin still to come we look at the deadly wildfires raging across northern california on

the fire crews battling to put them out. roger pan steel industry seems to be going through a big cheating scandal are comparable to germany's that diesel guy was going to house as it's about japan's coby steel coby stock plunged another twenty percent as the scandal over the safety of its products has deepened the steelmakers sold out of many human copper products using falsified documents claiming some of its products were of higher quality than they actually were the possible used in cars planes and high speed trains customers have been scrambling to find out what's affected and if there's a safety risk. the first conference started with the usual boeing off except q-tips admitting guilt and with an admission that shook up industry heavyweights all over asia there is a possibility that our firms products could have problems over their safety or quality products in question were sold over the past eighteen months after workers

altered data on material strength and other factors to falsely show their products to meet customer specifications now the japanese government is pressing for action . i want cobie steel to do its utmost to regain the trust of its customers and of society among those customers are car makers nissan subari and honda toyota has already confirmed that products with falsified data was used in some vehicles the central japan railway company has used some of the products in cars for the shinkansen bullet train mitsubishi and qatar saki have used could be steel products in fuselages for aircraft including some for boeing all companies say that so far the products have not post the safety risk but that they will be exchanged. now this quickly cross over to singapore where our financial correspondent andrea hang is standing by this japan now have

a proper industry scandal on his hands and what's the reaction over there in asia well the what is it called big eight and it's something that is definitely worrying investors and of people around asia it looks like the wind is about to get even deeper he says obviously plans twenty two percent today but that's not the only thing that's hurt japan's stay in the service he also estate yeah. you know diesel gate has taught us that first only the w was called cheating but others were found out to will the same happen when the japanese steel industry there as well. that's a great example and a good question as well go hard. back and looking back last year when the our japanese automobile industry got hit by scandals as well and safety regulations as it is and inspections are the same could very well have been with the steel industry seeing as a how quite interconnected we saw how skeletons more and more emerge from the

closet as the weeks go by so we have yet to see what it's going to bring us in the next few weeks and thank you very much forest fires are devastating parts of california as wine country phyllis that story i thought again yes dry windy conditions making life difficult for first responders here's a video shot by a police officer which shows the situation confronting fire crews. in the worst hit county a sonoma fast moving faster swept through the state leaving at least seventeen people confirmed dead and dozens more missing or two thousand homes and businesses have been destroyed. the wildfires ravaging northern california leaving a landscape of destruction in their wake hotels schools and some of the most prestigious wineries the napa valley and sonoma reduced to smoking ruins and for many returning
