this is d w news live from berlin spain's prime minister says he wants catalogue separatists removed from power by overhaul it is seeking permission to dissolve

catalonia government and call an early election to find out from madrid and barcelona what this could mean also coming up partial results from elections in the czech republic suggest the next prime minister will be a populist billionaire dubbed the czech donald trump a far right party is in second place we will go to prague for the latest duties being good in there. and good german rap make it in america he will follow the berry and band i'm told as acts as they take their foreign language flow to the home of hip hop. i'm at home and welcome. this week spain gave catalonia an ultimatum withdraw your jhalak declaration of independence or face the consequences today prime minister

mariano rajoy made good on that warning said he was triggering article one fifty five of the constitution to bring it rebellious region back under central control the catalog parliament has said it will declare independence if its powers are reduced now demonstrations are planned in the regional capital barcelona starting in the next couple of hours. let's take a look at exactly what the prime minister is aiming to do roy is asking the senate to dismiss the parliament of catalonia which is expected to do next week the plan also sees new elections in the region as soon as possible and third cataloged leader called his push to mount and his cabinet will be barred from running for reelection now speaking in madrid roy said the moves were necessary to restore law and order. but we have blood article one fifty five because no government i repeat you no government of any democratic country can accept that the laws ignored

that the laws violated that the laws changed and that all of that is done in an aim to impose their criteria on others even when it goes out of the most. the government has had to apply article one fifty five of the constitution it wasn't our desire or intention to do so it was never the case and i think the people in spain know that. well earlier i spoke with correspondent martin roberts who's been watching developments for us in the dritte i asked him what in effect spanish prime minister mariano rajoy had set in motion. well basically he's dissolved the council on government but it's not actually just. these are not actually taken by full control of councillor itself i mean the government's it's very words that they simply perform surgery they haven't got rid of the body in its entirety they have to replace it the catalan parliament will remain in place as

would have been civil service. media all structures all or everything will be still in place except the very well but the guys at the top who will be relieved of their jerseys and some basically everybody will be answered so a minister who might dress like a minister in the bottle and so briefly it's a surgical strike going to the nuclear option let's hear now from catalonia we have barber of ezola with us in barcelona barbara what exactly is the mood in barcelona how does this affect the cattle on government. tensions are rising here i mean first small groups of supporters of independence have appeared here on the square in front of the government building where charles puts the moment is still supposed to be holed up if you didn't leave by a back entrance the man who will rather soon be out of office and the mood is to

find really a name government stores just issued a sort of statement saying now if the hari really wants to take over power here if he wants to administrate catalonia he will need a lot of people because he announced that he would really meet was resistance in all sorts of offices hundreds and hundreds of places where water and electricity and every all the services public services are good nice he would meet resistance there and so he would really need to send people from madrid to sort of control the area that was in fact rebelling against him so far the government. resistance that sounds potentially ominous what do you think is as to come today with some demonstrations that are already planned. we will see a big demonstration about two hours from now that might really be quite large the

organizers are saying they expect about two hundred thousand people we don't know but they are capable of mobilizing people very quickly in large numbers the supporters here really of independence really do come out and the government the still in office government will march with them and then at nine o'clock count is put to monto will hold a press conference give a statement on t.v. and announce his attentions everybody expects more or less that they will again show total defiance against madrid and probably today or at the latest monday re declare independence and say now we really mean it really remember last week they did it and then suspended it and said now we really mean it and we declare ourselves independent and if madrid one something they really have two forces now so the conflict is really heating up and the crisis is just turning into the next year we're seeing really skule ssion from both sides at this point do you think there is any potential for any kind of backing down or mediation to calm.

it's too late for mediation really this could have happened before the first of october when this watched referendum attempt took place and it might even have been a bit to do it in the week immediately afterwards to say that you know let's sort of take the pot off the fire let's sit down and talk things out what could the council non-government. media have mediated at the moment what could they even talk about it was madrid other than independence that's all they want and it is not going to give in on that but it cannot possibly do that that would really tear the country apart and it would create enormous anger in other regions of spain so it's really a standoff and it looks at the moment it looks like the government cuts alone you hear it and very slow and it is intending to go down in flames maybe tonight but maybe on monday but certainly within a very short period of time all right barbara veil in barcelona for some momentous

days to come. well police in the german city of munich have ruled out terrorism after arresting a man suspected of attacking people with a knife earlier today the suspect has been identified as a thirty three year old german national he was captured after an hours long manhunt in the eastern part of the city where he attempted to stab people in six separate locations four people suffered minor wounds police say the suspect may suffer from psychological problems. partial results in the czech republic's parliamentary election indicate a victory for populist billionaire andre bobbish and his a zero movement with nearly sixty percent of the votes counted the no party have secured just over thirty percent second strongest party looks to be the far right s.p.d. party they have garnered at just over eleven percent projections suggest the total

parties have passed the five percent threshold to enter the parliament. joining me now is eugene pay he the director of new york university's academic center in prague all right what do the results tell us well i think that the results basically correspond with what the expected that is so look torie of great bobbish bob good point of course we have only about fifty percent of the vote counted so there may be some slight changes because. smaller places with fewer orders are counted first so when the big talent big cities come into the picture this may still slightly change but there is no doubt that on the program and what will really be important is so rich parties will place after him and in what individual other and behold homan it will it's because it will decide

the mode of future of possible coalition government or in speaking of those parties placing after the end of the s p d far right party led by one tell me ok it looks to be in second place how big is the fear that that party could could push their n.t.e.u. anti migrant policies further into the mainstream. well it's certainly always centered politics now but i wouldn't say a decisive voice simply because it is it is an extreme right party and even mr bump issue him so has been quite so against immigration. and outspoken some of the issues that. will come where and his extreme right party of direct democracy. promotes i think that mr bobbish would have a problem. being in the same qualities shown or being supported by mr cumorah so i think that yes this party will be in the parliament it will be heard ten percent of

the vote which i expect expect that that's what the final result for them will be. is significant. i do not see them in the next government because mr bush knows that it would damage import of victory oh let's talk a little bit more about bobbish briefly if you could keep the promise the voters he was going to fix the country treat it like a business what should we expect if does form the new government. well he will certainly try to run the whole country like a business like go like a firm this is something he has said many times i don't think it is for you. to state a country it's not a family firm so he will still have to look for compromise just for political compromises and. really much will depend on which party will be with him in the next coalition government to be india and stop him.

in the government with the durational party's done of course they will keep him in check and it will not be so easy for him to go ahead with some some of his more radical. ideas but on the other hand he can also turn to become you know just sort. of the pirates and he would have more leeway for. putting in place this program so we really have to wait for the final results at this point because those who are to government what kind of government you could probably go have right to use the pay of the new york university academic center in prague thanks for joining us. let's move on to some other stories making news around the world egyptian authorities say at least fifty five soldiers and police officers have been killed in clashes with islamist fighters in the oasis in the country's western desert the casualties reportedly occurred during a raid on
