prime minister. has given the regional government until monday to say whether it's declared independence from the rest of spain has promised to do everything possible to prevent the breakaway even threatening to suspend tommy looked in a standoff spain's prime minister is determined to not give an inch speaking to parliament in madrid mariano rajoy again insisted that catalonia his independence referendum was illegal and he rejected office of international mediation. it is not possible to accept a dialogue to agree on what is expressly forbidden by the constitution to negotiate a the sovereignty that belongs to all spaniards and the unbreakable unity of spain . it was a clear abuse to cattle and president karl has pushed them all these calls for

talks have repeatedly been rejected madrid has given him five days to draw up catalonia his independence. it is really important those people who violated the constitution rectify this. if catalonia ignores the warning has threatened to impose direct rule many catalan lawmakers reacted with pleas for the escalation let's get any more especially in this the truth is we have two government leaders who have acted very irresponsibly we are asking them to take on the political responsibility and govern for everyone in spain and catalonia we ask that they are responsible and courageous and open the possibility of dialogue. it'll means days more uncertainty on the streets of boston lonna people offish. it's ridiculous to reach this point because we the people pay for the politicians

and it's their fullest they've passed problems on to the people when they should have solved and. it's impossible to talk with i don't know what's going to happen nobody does. the ball is back in catalonia is caught and across spain the waiting game continues. are we want to go now to our correspondents all over south is in barcelona and. as is in madrid good evening to both of you as i may want to start with you now we have an ultimatum that's a significant escalation by the spanish prime minister isn't. the end of the whole shifting gears on dick got to land conflict the prime minister to crush it again which is the man to announcement on tuesday when he asked the regional parliament to truth ben cutler an independent for the coming weeks to

allow a negotiation instead of the hoyer has given him the week to back of or face the nation of the got the landfill government that is a clear message from the funniest well them and that he won't accept any negotiation and he puts them on give up on independence and abide by the spanish constitution yeah definitely. there and it's going to escalation all over what does it feel like there in barcelona i mean where does this leave the kettle on leadership or particularly the kettle on president. well economists put them on the catalan president finds himself in an increasingly complicated situation here tonight he might be realizing that he's walking down this road with a debt and slowly coming to terms that he doesn't know how to return really because he's receiving pressure from two sides here really. no doubt hoyer the spanish

prime minister who says you know clarify that you and now instead you declared independence there in your speech yesterday and if you do so then we'll have article one hundred fifty five waiting for you and that will mean an end to the political career of countless bush money would mean and also to the autonomy of the region of catalonia so this cannot be in his interest but at the same time we have the fall of two u p party a coalition partner of congress put him on waiting with another all to made him they said if in four weeks from now there will be no declaration of independence and they will step down from government and that would mean he would lose his majority and the government is finished as well so no matter what he does it's looking like a very complex situation people on the streets here in barcelona are talking about this poker game where i. went all in yesterday and slowly realizing that he didn't really have a good handful this you know there's

a very good point and i mean what do you think is wrong goal here i mean obviously he's he's trying to use time in politics against his catalog counterpart does he want the kettle on government to collapse. certainly i really agree with my colleague in buffalo now i think that might be a not a whole because he has the ready labeled which them on and he's got a new member valid interlocutor in the event of an issue a negotiation and and he noted that. the declaration of the bended independence. that is not unique in the party to come and some members of parliament even in the modern party. have been trying to avoid the if they unilaterally declared independence. the money is right now in the middle of a cross fire between those who want

a quick independence and those who think that maybe push them on and wait to fire. so yes up with the ability to put them on a government collapses and probably would be the best for money in a hoity even if that happens you elections would hop as you call it and he wouldn't have to apply hundred and fifty five ok your correspondents are some of the valar in madrid and oliver salih tonight in barcelona both of you thank you very much a turkish court has ordered a german journalist to remain behind bars while she's tried on terrorism charges and solid tolu protesters her innocence and the beginning of her trial on wednesday the next hearing won't be until mid december toller was one of eleven german nationals detained in turkey the cases are further straining already damaged bilateral relations machine the tone of the reason is the german journalist's
