remove the liberties of but to protect them. yeah. catalans the protection not from spanish imperialism it but rather from an intolerant minority that is named itself the owner of catalonia this minority considers the cultural and historical heritage belonging to the entire community as his own exclusive province of that and he wants to submit all cataloged to the yoke of its secessionist doctrine the. news just reaching us told the parliament in catalonia has asked for a secret ballot let's go to the catalogue regional capital and the spanish national capital d w correspondent to charlotte chelsea pill is in barcelona water roberts is in the madrid welcome a both of start with you martin robert so as the senate debates article one heart. if they do trigger it what will happen next. well you could do.

worse in. the morning first minister. do you really an. intervention. however is the first song to go on you. know doing. that it's reached this point no one has how it's going to work this. is our. existence however. i do my best to hold on to that. i think we got most of that it's a particularly that dodgy line let's go to charlotte in barcelona how at how catalans preparing for this if it happens. aha

a fellow facet just wanted to let you know that a vote is starting now to take place in the catalan parliament behind me on a proposal for independence we know that just a few moments ago the opposition parties walked out that boycotting the vote they say they do want no part of it as they were calling for regional elections previously and there's been a very heated debate in parliament preceding this with the anti independence lawmakers saying that they were against the country being split up one in particular ripped up the motion for independence on the other side pro independence supporters have said today is the day that a new nation is being born now is all of this is unfolding behind me on the other side if you hundred meters away there are thousands of protesters waiting with with bated breath to see exactly what comes out of the parliament here now this is.

hugely significant because of course it is illegal according to madrid for this vote to be taking place and there o.b. huge repercussions for the independence leaders threats of arrest for this vote taking place really is a very dramatic scenes of falling behind me so if one of fifty five is triggered by the parliament in spain. and. i saw it in madrid i'm parliament that decides that it will take control of a the offices of state back in catalonia how are the catholics likely to react to that. there is some fear of real violence on the streets here whether or not you're pro independents or against independent catalans really do value treasured defends their autonomy and an attempt to to madrid to impose

direct rule. is going to be taken very very badly there are fears of violence on the streets in fact have been cools for in the pro position supports is for people to even try and block the entrances to government buildings to stop madrid officials from from coming in and taking charge that of course could be met with. very fast response from the police say who are trying to maintain law and order we've already seen violent confrontations on the streets barcelona on the day of the referendum and police tried to stop places from going to the polls they were fairly heavy handed these images went around the world and many would argue painted madrid in quite a bad light so madrid police really are going to try and keep the situation as calm as possible but there's no getting away from the fact that people here are very worried about violent scenes unfolding in the next few hours shot at chelles impel in the past and i thank you mohsin roberts in madrid thank you.

a tourist in the pacific ocean and not wonder if today is going to be the day that it all hands or if you're going to have a great day and there's going to be a rainbow with a pot of gold tomorrow and you had some close shaves that was shocking count as i've been here sir we had two different encounters one close to the equator at the one hundred sixty degrees west. group of five tiger sharks were taking care of down time. and then a second encounter a little bit more north and west as that. group of forty to fifty foot shark. just really wanted to break open the boat well inside so i will fly them all.

we did not turn them off the boat survived those attacks without structural failure and we just waited and hoped someone would be in the area who could assist us so that was your hope but to this five months i have every day we had a metaphor that you just send out a distress signal and hope that somebody hears it's that is true there isn't a lot of other things that you can do so when did you realize the story was going to have a happy ending so moments away we saw the u.s.s. ashland on the horizon and we started cheering it was it was one of the most incredible fine and humbling experiences of my entire life so did you see the ship before you had from its

yes. so you. only had about a mile of of communication range after it was damaged so we could see about eight knot of coal miles on the horizon and the ship is very large. you had two dogs with you how did they cope where you learn of that in the ocean the dogs found that there was life living around the boat and whenever the dolphins would come by they would bark and free and run around the boat when the dolphins would bounce out of the water and chirp at them and that was one of their absolute favorite. favorite experiences on the boat they could smell different animals and they reacted differently towards each of them based on the intentions of the sea creatures so while the dogs may look i'm not

a lot of the weird and there's not much else to do i was going to say while with i was about around with the dolphins well what was that sort of you doing five months . well five months is a long time we started practicing japanese we looked at our mark or knees or handbooks and decided what we needed to learn about each of the i learned that we might approach given different currents. we worked on tying and making patch or hack patches through the rigging and to the sales so that we would be able to continue with and moderate success. when we could get some wins well i voted briefly i just say yes and so was there when you sail again absolutely the senate awful thank you so much for

joining us thank you very much for taking the time to have a wonderful evening and aloha. so jennifer found on the dogs were rescued by the u.s.s. ashland steve wason as the ship's commander while come to the w. commander was in which came first seeing the boat or getting the distress signal. at the distress signal came first about ten hours earlier we were several novel miles away and had to ask him towards their position. and when you got that what did you say. we we saw the other two individuals and two dogs on the boat and we we lowered our small boat with a. small boat crew of engineer an electrician to see if we could render assistance and. once we could see that the vessel was no longer see where they were

we brought them on board the u.s.s. ashland. you speak about this very calmly as i do our expect from a season's navy man is this something that you do often. only when called upon it does not happen often i've been in the navy and nineteen years and i think this is the third one that i've been part of the other two. when we arrived on scene. nobody was there so either we had the long is incorrect or something else had happened but this one had a very happy ending so we're very thankful. what was the first thing they said when you brought them aboard. thank you. well thank you commander steve wasn't aboard the u.s.s. ashland thanks for joining the devils. appreciate it thank you.
