this is d.w. news live from berlin a show of defiance in barcelona you're about to see live pictures of nearly half a million cattle on separatists taking to the streets in support of their region's

parliament this comes after a spanish prime minister mariano rajoy announces plans to dissolve catalonia his government and call an early election we'll find out from madrid and barcelona what this could mean. also coming up results from elections in the czech republic show the next prime minister could be a populist billionaire dubbed the check of donald trump a far right party received more than ten percent of the vote. and can german rap make it in america. do cause being any good and then going in there but overall the bavarian band i'm told by six as they take their foreign language flow to the home of hip hop.

i met her welcome to the program this week spain gave catalonia an ultimatum now withdraw your declaration of independence or face the consequences today prime minister marianna rahowa made good on that warning woodridge says it plans to sack catalan leaders that has not gone down well in barcelona where the masses have taken to the streets in protest. of a soul is among the throngs in barcelona she sent us this report. what's remarkable here is that the mood is quite peaceful there is no violent feeling at all people are shaking their fists when the helicopters off the hated state police fly overhead bods apart from that they're chanting freedom freedom and when the government marched through the crowd here the government of justice in office carlos pushed him on they were greeted by large cheers it's

a remarkable cross-section of the council on population that has come out here we see young people young couples with children and bakkies old people we see in real chairs people from the working classes and real the middle class couples who are holding out flags and showing their support wearing yellow ribbons to show their support for independence later in the evening cardus pushed him on is going to speak on t.v. and give a declaration it's not quite sure what he wants to do now what he wants to keep some wiggle room all whether he will really go forward go for broke and say that he would declare independence now as a reaction to madrid so it is still a game that's going back and forth between also lona and the end the spanish capital but people who've come out here to demonstrate have just one goal and thought that that goal is get rid of spain and be in an independent republic.

of a face on what could turn out to be a momentous day in barcelona let's take a look back at the day's events so far well he said he was going to trigger article one fifty five of the constitution to bring a rebellious region back under central control that would mean an end to catalonia as wide ranging autonomy and hand control instead to ministries in madrid now here is what he is aiming to do specific. roy is asking the senate to approve his dismissal of the cattle and government it's expected to make that move next week the plan also calls for new elections as soon as possible it also says that catalan leader put in months and his team will be barred from running for office in the new elections now speaking in madrid roy said that the moves were necessary to restore law and order. and we have flood article one fifty five because no

government i repeat you no government of any democratic country can accept that the law is ignored that the law is violated that the laws change and that all of that is done in a name to impose their criteria on others. all of them will be able to 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 move on to some other stories making news around the world police in the german city of munich have doubt a terrorist background after a man with a knife attacked people at random earlier today four people suffered minor 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 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 ninety people connected to an internet how to file ring the raids followed a six month investigation involving u.s. authorities more than one thousand agents took part in the operation which police say is the biggest ever conducted in latin america. results in the czech republic's parliamentary election show a clear victory for populist billionaire andre bobbish and his movement with nearly all of the votes counted his party has secured nearly thirty percent and the far right party s p d made significant gains as well it has an anti e.u.

an anti migrant message it got just over ten percent of the vote. results show eight parties surpassing the five percent threshold to enter parliament. and joining me now is usually paid the director of new york university's academic center in prague. under bobbish he used a lot of establishment rhetoric in the election campaign he earned himself a reputation as the czech trump what was it that he said or did that convince voters that he's the right man to lead the czech republic. well i think that he still successfully using his anti-corruption message he actually got into the parliament already in two thousand and thirteen with this and by corruption message and he is has been quite successful with it again i think he also uses the fact that there is so really a lot of show or a high degree of sentiment among the population i'm sure public. attention all

parties which are blamed for a lot of core option for being slow on unable to introduce a set of modernization. projects and bob issues this very skillfully portray himself as someone who is not a flexible has been very successful in business and why couldn't he do for the chip republic one he will stable to do as the owner of the second largest company in the czech republic so i think that in some basic sense of his success it's interesting you mention this anti corruption message being his signature issue he is facing charges of fraud what role did those play in the campaign. well i think that so far he has been successful in portraying himself as a victim who will be charmed. and so i think that so goes roughly thirty percent of

the warders who actually voted for him believe that he is being just. chased by other political parties they want to put him in prison because he brings something new into the chick political system. fortunately all of this may make a jump with him later then when he's. already he will be trying to put together a government because it's not just. respond also well off the european agency for. the european subsidies and he has been used to gated by all of this well so we may see some real to repeal and c.j. politics if he is formally accused. all right. he certainly looks to be the next prime minister of the czech republic some are calling this the rise of a euro skeptic bloc within the e.u. combining the czech republic poland and hungary is that a fair assessment or is he bringing something different to the table. i don't mean

that for assessment first bob ish may be an authoritarian figure but i don't think that the evil of the ira pianist's mr or environments to catch inskeep he is certainly a. pragmatist who runs the second largest company in the czech republic which has set up for us in germany in the metal lands in france an additional in his interest to create some kind of deep divide between that your republic and the european union so while during the electoral campaign he was quite and the european were skeptical alfalfa of the european union i think that now he will have to deliver a different kind of message because i i assume that he doesn't want to for personal reasons to be at war with the european union right you should pay thank you very
