approve his plans to dismiss the cattle on government it's expected to approve his plans the catalan regional government has said it will declare independence if its powers are reduced demonstrations are planned in the regional capital barcelona this evening. let's cross over now to the spanish capital madrid where journalist martin roberts has been watching prime minister marianna rahowa speaking so martin what was the main thrust of roy's plan is he taking over the entire catalan government. not the entire castle i'm going to move now because interestingly enough he's going to be leaving. castle and civil service in place and he has actually dissolved parliament. parliament and still may suppose it's restricted are decisions that in. as you said earlier aslam have been at the minister's a while will be relieved of that uses a sense of grace. simply. the operators will be in place where people will be

taking orders from the ministers in the dreadlock the ministers and so he said that he's not really talking about control that's all he said this is just a lightweight intervention and as he said he's just merely trying to restore the galatea normal this is the confidence in his words well what i've found out catalan institutions such as the media and police is he going to be exercising any control over those institutions. if he is he didn't say so i mean there's been a lot of media speculation recently. as for the police well i assume they were just merely terms of the control of the syrian ministry majority catalan interior ministry. as for the media state media well they're going. to be coming to terms of their you know direct control of the culture ministry magick in madrid rather than

book and bathrooms in principle. but no real difference other be surprised. to the contents of the programs well why did say that one of his first priorities is a to hold elections in catalonia now does this mean that he'll be blocking leader carlist who's the man from standing. yes i mean that was. conditional that he said to one of the restrictions that as a whole that we will still be lots of the day will be a lot of what we would like to propose him or any other leader not just tell us which to mount the other thing is he said the legal deadline is for six months well if he hopes to bring the whole works as soon as possible or in his words. no business is what to do. and who. are i don't know is martin roberts reporting for us from the spanish capital madrid thank you very much.

well now let's get some perspective on a possible response from catalonia government and for that we're joined by the dalai is barbara vai's all who is in barcelona so barbara prime minister mariano rajoy has appealed to the people of catalonia for calm and unity what's the danger that we're going to see unrest in the coming days in the wake of the announcement. i mean he can appeal all he wants that is not going to appease of course the independent strong movement that is really fighting for independence here about all means so what this will do of course those measures from madrid even though ron paul is trying to sort of mediate the worst off it by not immediately taking over everything or not directly taking over in that sense is that it will stoke the fires under the kettle off the independence movement we'll see demonstrations

starting this afternoon the whole so is still in office but just still in office government in the palace behind us will be present and so we can expect a lot of demonstrations we don't know how strong yet the danger of violence breaking out is however as soon as. it comes in the spender state police which is really hated here we might see these scenes again like we did on october first during that so-called referendum where high also talked a lot about the impact on cattle on is economy should they still go ahead and try and declare independence now are these sorts of dangers to catalonia as prosperity going to prevent people from continuing to support this independence but just how much support is there still for catalonian independence. there is no way of telling because the movement is maybe one million maybe one

million people strong we don't know we don't know the figures there are no polls that are really that it can really tell you anything there is a lot of people in the streets if they call out demonstrations now these people want to go ahead if you ask the independents leader is about the economy sort of tanking about things really going bad to reason falling off companies moving away they just look at you and say oh this is all propaganda by madrid madrid is forcing companies to to sort of retreat from here and it's all not true and as soon as we are independent everybody will come back so that's what they tell you they are in total denial about the consequences this independence really can have on their economy. well want to have the catalonian government suggested that is it's going to be its next move how will they respond that's everybody's guess we've been making the troopers all morning between the spanish

media and the regional media here people have been trying to call the spokesman off the council on government no luck they simply don't say there were indications earlier that puts demand who is just so in office might call the parliament on monday and ask them to declare independence it is still possible that we will do it today in a gesture of defines everything is open now what is however totally clear is that his political career is over in any case it will be only a very short while until he has to leave the palace and sort of really go out of office barbara vessel reporting from barcelona many thanks indeed. well turning now to germany where police in the city of munich have detained a suspect after a man attacked people with a knife in six different locations this morning four people sustained minor

ourselves we do that but even if we are winning following last weekend's been in this league a defeat by rb leipzig and the champions league draw in nicosia in midweek it appears to dutch coach's methods are having some teething problems but the club's results have been positive overall this season. i know it's not easy we have an away game at frankfurt but we've shown this season that on the road we're capable of being a strong dominant team. buses side will have to be on their guard frankfurt have won their last three home games against dortmund but lost the last time they went head to head in the german cup final last may coach nico covert she is prepared for a tough clash. expect to see a dormant team that will make its presence felt on the pitch almost show the form we witnessed before their defeat. but even against leipzig i saw a good dortmund side. we did before be much of. dortmund

a bit longer because the process of counting on to votes will take a few hours but we should know much more in about half an hour or one hour but you can see for bunches of of results all right well the leading candidate andres bompas promise voters that he would fix their country so what could we expect if his other movement does form the next government. mr bobbish is a pragmatist yes. this man of the second richest person in the czech republic so if we should believe what he said he would like to run the country like a family for him. that is his intention but of course he will need. some college and partners and they may have. different ideas so we will have to wait and see what kind of quality she raised above issue will be able to form of

course the egos to the democratic party's so-called traditional parties then they will keep him in check on the other hand he manages to form a government with. the end by system parties and we have two or three that are likely to get into the house then of course that also means from one place and developments for a chicken are christian. well the czech republic like many other places has seen a surge in the popularity of anti-establishment parties and that's despite the fact that the country's economy is doing quite well why is that i think there are some reasons or several reasons which. of course contributed to this rise up and prices and parties one of them is corruption which played an important role also in two thousand and thirteen and actually was to publish. went into politics

supposedly because he wanted to fight corruption. although the czech republic. improved on this front. he now in king is. still able to to to to deliver the message that he's the right man for fighting corruption so i think that was the main reason. pay a political scientist and the director of new york university's academic center in prague thank you so much you're watching news coming to you live from berlin we'll be back again with an update at the top of the hour from all of us here in berlin thanks for watching. thank you. jim.
