all the dams walls and costly protective measures would have been. nothing. new. someone's challenging our future starting november nights own. this is g.w. news live from berlin a show of defiance in barcelona you are about to see some live pictures of cattle on separatists taking to the streets in support of the region's parliament this

comes hours after a spanish prime minister mariano rajoy dissolved announced plans to dissolve catalonia his government and call early election we'll find out from madrid and barcelona what it all means also coming up partial results from elections in the czech republic suggest that the prime minister coming out will be a populist billionaire dubbed the czech donald trump a far right party is in third place. i will. also tell you about a young man overcoming a disability and living a dream he's a professional video gamer and he's blind to tell you how he manages to not only compete but with.

i met her and welcome this week spain gave catalonia an ultimatum withdraw your tech ration of independence or face the consequences well today prime minister mariano rajoy made good on that warning madrid says it plans to sack cattle on leaders and has gone down well in barcelona where the masses have taken to the streets in protest and w.'s barber of a zal is among those protesters in barcelona we have her on the line oh oh well i suppose we don't have her on the line there is a bit of a crowd on the streets so let's take a look at the day's events so far now marianna roy said he was going to trigger article one fifty five of the constitution to bring a rebellious region back under central control and that would mean an end to catalonia as wide ranging autonomy handing control instead to ministries in madrid

all right here is what the prime minister is aiming to do. roy is asking the senate to approve of his plan to dismiss the catalan government he's expected to do so next week the plan also sees elections coming up in the region as soon as possible and current catalog leader carlos munt and his team will be barred from running again speaking of hundred raw it said the moves were necessary to restore law and order. fischer first we will proceed with ending the role of the president of catalonia the vice president and the councillors that make up the cabinet of the catalonian government. those functions will be carried out by the organisms and authorities created or designated by the government of the nation that are not the input if you feel to begin with the idea would be that the ministries would assume these responsibilities for as long as this exceptional

situation persists you know not spend their time on a me and self governance of catalonia will not be suspended it will remove the people that put the autonomous government outside of the law and the constitution and statute of self governance will not end it will be recovered for the sake of legality and for coexistence of all cattle and not just those who are pro independence. and now. available does join us from barcelona well let us know what is happening there. there is still a large crowd out here in the center of the city we don't know how many people have come out thousands and thousands in any case it might be that the number is a bit lower than the organizers had had expected and announce who spoke of several hundred thousand it seems a bit less to me however there seems almost

a festive mood which is astonishing we had expected more anger people chant freedom and freedom and they do is try to shake their fists whenever i have a cup of the hated state police gozo over their heads however it generally it seems a very peaceful mood more like a sunday outing and it's remarkable cross-section of the population here it's young people and old young couples was buggies and children in the old people in real chairs we saw one elderly lady was her guide dog a blind to blind woman coming to this demonstration people who look like academics and people who are clearly working class and middle class it's really goes across all lines here and to people really trying to support their government this government that it's all less sort of on its last legs because madrid has said you're out and they are trying to sort of push them to declare independence and we it may still happen tonight or maybe tomorrow but it on monday. just put it

on friday that it's. just a get out of the security. the occupation in the part that is supporting independence is at their side we don't know whether they are in the joran maybe maybe not in any case there will be found out bunch later when we will see regional elections here but that is yet months to come all right barbara faisal thanks very much for the update from barcelona. i'm pleased to pardon some of the audio quality for that line there's a lot of folks speaking from barcelona right now earlier i spoke with correspondent martin roberts who's been watching developments from madrid i asked him in effect what spanish prime minister mariano rajoy had set in motion well basically he's dissolved the council on government but it's not actually dissolved. 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 their cattle and parliament will remain in place as we would have on civil service. media all structures all over everything will be still in place except the very well but the guys at the top who will be relieved of their jerseys and so basically everybody will be answered so a minister a moderator or minister in the bottle and so briefly it's a surgical strike going to the nuclear option. all right we can move on now to some other stories making news around the world police in the german city of new nic have ruled out a terrorist background after a man with a knife attacks people at random earlier today four people suffered minor wounds police arrested a german national who they say appears to suffer from psychological problems.

afghanistan's defense ministry says a suicide bomber killed at least fifteen army recruits as they were leaving their base in the capital of kabul four others were wounded this latest incident comes at the end of a particularly bloody week in afghanistan seven major attacks have killed almost two hundred fifty people since tuesday. brazilian police have arrested more than nine hundred or nine ninety people connected to an internet a pedophile ring the raids followed a six month investigation of all the u.s. authorities more than a thousand agents took part in the operation which police say is the biggest ever conducted in latin america. all right well results in the czech republic's parliamentary elections show a clear victory for populist billionaire andre bobbish and his movement with more than ninety nine percent of the votes counted the party have secured almost thirty

percent the civic democrats are just ahead of the far right s.p.d. party in the battle for second place with eleven percent results suggest a total of eight already could surpass the five percent threshold to win parliamentary seats. well joining me now is pov apolo from berlin correspondent for czech radio under bobbish he uses a lot of anti-establishment rhetoric in his election campaign he earned a reputation in fact as the czech trump what was it that he said or did that convince voters he's the right man to lead the country. there is a huge frustration and dissatisfaction in the czech society most with traditional policies and under a bush uses these sentiments well he's against corruption against as i mentioned traditional policies he's against a review g.'s my friends and his voters both young and old both the

low and middle income voters across the political spectrum he leads a protest movement that's where he is quite successful another trump similarity perhaps has faced charges of fraud how is that possible that he could be the next pm. obviously that small hole the first person that the check believed to be in paulson's very bullish kept saying in the months that he's innocent and that the accusation is a kind of unfair political campaign against him he tried to establish an image of hardworking businessman and was facing obstacles from the state and i think he was quite successful and that the ongoing investigation didn't have any influence on me on the polls as we see today on the election outcome as well. let's talk

a little bit about the results that show the far right s.p.d. party tomioka mood as party they are in third place a little bit less than and the second place party how big is the fear that that result might push his hard. migrant agenda into the mainstream. also entirely possible with direct democracy as he was supposed to get into the parliament the results. sound more than expected it's true. and you and also anti immigrant position is widespread in the czech republic but s.p.d. he told me you will come what is believed to be seen as oh big body as well and coming but your question yes the fear the this hard line position becomes of the mainstream is quite huge. now are we seeing

a new bloc forming perhaps the czechs joining countries like hungary and poland as being a sort of n.t.e.u. anti immigrant bloc within the bloc. i don't expect but the political movement and. republish oculus the street. is also pretty but a politician he wouldn't tried to initiate referendum on leaving from the e.u. freedom and of people and also. in poland he realizes also close economic ties to germany and he will continue the current policy where germany for example the european union as well about the czech republic remains under his roof and i would say that. you're skeptical country but it's not the kind of polish i'm going to style right probably like thanks very much for your insights check radio
