if we just were in barcelona and madrid. thanks for your company we start with some breaking news from spain the senate in madrid has approved government proposals to take control of catalonia just after catalonia is regional parliament voted in favor of declaring independence from spain in an unprecedented move the senate in madrid voted overwhelmingly in favor of spanish prime minister marianna roy's request to trigger the infamous article one hundred fifty five of the spanish constitution that allows the central government to remove cattle and regional leaders from office starting with president carlos put human shortly before seventy out of one hundred thirty five cattle and lawmakers approved a motion to declare catalonia and in the pennant republic opposition lawmakers

walked out in protest before the vote. while the outcome of a birth parliament session. is historic plunges madrid and barcelona further into uncertainty we have team coverage of these breaking developments in barcelona and barcelona charlotte the chelsea is covering events there and imagery and martin roberts thank you both for joining us charlotta earlier we saw jubilation in sight the parliament when the vote passed what's the mood outside where you are. that's quite a rights of ecstatic scenes inside the parliament that among those who've been pushing for independence for years we saw then this is hugging one another we saw spontaneous chance of freedom freedom and we saw outbreak of singing as well it really was an ecstatic scene inside the parliament here because pushing on the kotla needed just left about half an hour ago more chairs as he got in his car and

drove away now we're a few hundred meters at the moment from the scene where thousands of pro independence support is on the streets that been nervously waiting to see what decision the catalan paan meant would make here this of course as we know it's been a process full of ups and downs first they were going to be regional elections then that once then there was going to be independence than that wasn't now finally those who are on the streets pleading for this have got exactly what they want and there was some emotional scenes what is very important to point out though is that this is not something that everybody here in catalonia once this region is totally divided on whether it wanted independence from spain i mean in the referendum that took place on up type of first on whether or not people wanted this half the population didn't turn out opinion polls suggest that half the population still isn't in favor of independence so we have a very divided region here this afternoon a very divided region martin want to go to you in madrid right after

a bout of course spain senate approved emergency measures to take control of catalonia this is a major escalation that we're witnessing right now how is madrid planning on preventing catalonia from seceding. well first of all in about an hour's time prime minister netanyahu we will the budget see cabinet meeting a lot of the first things they're expected to there is a rubber stamp of decree which apparently they drafted yesterday which will officially relief how has pushed them out of these carriages of their duties however what the government the same thing is that they really pretty much everything else in place so that describing this as a minimally invasive procedure are there also prefer to call this. tell you like how to live his autonomy rather than actually posing direct power in theory puts them on the rest can actually stay on and the reason it has a long parliament which is the part that's not going to be dissolved or at least

not until we had a record what's that all of you about a lot of the you have and these are just ones who have just very scary serious legal challenges indeed in fact the attorney general's office is the center days now that they're ready to throw we're going to press for charges to be brought against. us a very serious offense and it can't harry jail sentence is going to thirty years and again we think that explains the only usual scenes that we're seeing that hasn't been just here which he was elected to cast a secret powers rather than shot hands it would seem in a bid to disguise who actually planted the right well this brings me back to you were charlotte how is the catalan leadership planning on tearing out this secession for self-determination. well it's still very early to say exactly what it is that planning on doing i mean we really have to emphasize

that this is totally unfair to territory nobody has ever been in this position before we have heard from multiple and members pro independence members of the parliament that they want people to show you civil disobedience when spain tries to impose direct rule they're saying now very clearly that they are an independent nation that they have the mandate that they were looking for and that spain trying to impose direct rule is really in violation of that so there are cools for members of the public to even try and stop officials from madrid trying to get into government buildings to block their way of course that could be met with some anger from police as they're trying to impose the will of the spanish authorities they will try and stop that from happening but as it is worth pointing out the police hit as well will try and deescalate the situation as much as possible everyone is very clear that things really can get out of hand quite quickly with

a region that is that is so divided and people who really don't necessarily want to see direct rule imposed on them hey this is a region that really is very defensive of its autonomy so the next few hours are really going to be crucial to giving us a sense of how that the coming days and weeks will progress right and martin i want to go back to you know just want to point out to our viewers that while charlotte was reporting we were showing live pictures of a crowd some marching in barcelona martin is there still a way out of this extraordinary situation a way to still defuse tensions because whatever madrid now does next it will be seen as repressive. well i mean again that depends who you talk to because one of the government's things the content on the data it's worth. motions i was informed has a long haul of just a few minutes ago because of the european union to integrate. and it looks as a you know european union made it clear that they regard this is very much and so

a lot of the they support russia only that they support the constitutional court rulings which is sad but let me move towards independence is a legal and also the european union have made it clear that they don't have any plans whatsoever to recognize this and resources the point is you're saying i mean a lot of the ring hasn't really been services before but it's if i mean do you can scream out you know one of the last ditch moves of the last week to try and diffuse the situation in the socialist opposition secular chance of a small two party thanking the house i'm going to call for fresh elections is a was a third why it's really declaring independence on the one implementing also the long haul of of the order of our hands nothing because i shall be more as i don't would suddenly change course on started calling the russian actions is out of their hands and where the market would you care option the time dependence of a possible i mean again this is just like election it's very unlikely is there can

be but i actually did it once again but i just you know pending further talks or whatever but again i was very unlikely you know the numbers are going to be something that was why i don't indeed trying to run everything through but you're right and as you were reporting as well are we've been showing live pictures of the crowds marching through that central square in front of the account one government to charlotte what do the callaghan people expect to happen next how do they feel that their leadership handled all of this. there's a great deal of trepidation here about what is next there was a frustration in the build up to this declaration of independence both among pro independence supporters and anti independent supporters because of that backwards and forwards that we've been outlining for you from the cattle and leader calls

puts him on just the sense that he was danger declared a regional elections then he didn't then he was going to declare independence this was a crisis that's really been defined by its delays in catalonia madrid to hit the ball backwards and forwards to each other has to make the next meet and now they we have had this meteoric declaration so people are just going to wait and see how this plays out and what exactly it is that pearson on plans on doing because frankly that is still rather unclear as it stands at the moment martin a lot of answers that we're seeking here this has been such a high wire act martin it's been festering for months why has prime minister rewarded let it come to this i've got thirty seconds left. when he recently takes me letting it fester for years because he heard to. approach the risk. you know.

goaded into action remains to be seen what her exact. are and to thank you both so very much for charlotte to tell some pill in barcelona reporting there and in a moderate of course a martin roberts thank you for your coverage. meanwhile the spanish prime minister took to twitter just a few minutes ago urging that all spaniards remain calm and adding the rule of law will be used to restore legality in catalonia reactions also coming in from brussels which as you remember has been urged by the common separatists to mediate the president of the european council donald tusk tweeting for the e.u. nothing changes spain remains our only interlocutor i hope the spanish government favors force of argument not argument force. meanwhile a support for calderon has independence declaration from finland a member of parliament mico occur in
