first there's been a second day of prayer. in boston i know why people are angry about planes and. do. sonya. a dozen cast. been arrested in this bit o. journalists reporting about the boat twitches to take place for. first midrange insists the referendum would be legal under the spanish constitution. did to hillar. in front of barcelona's high court thousands of pro independence protesters gathered. chanting we will vote and urging the release of several catalan government officials. climate is good news tell these people on staff families. when did we will defend the me here hands now.

but if it in front of the high court. catatonia. roaders histiocytic again. spanish police arrested over a dozen members in connection to catalonia's planned october one referendum on independence. they've also confiscated millions of ballot papers. no this is a little bit about the using of passion to tyrants out. welcome to get time. site is are going to continue taking the struggle for the street it's up to us young people. to make social change. and it's all about whether for against an appendix everyone has the right to vote. the spanish government has vowed to do all it can to prevent what it calls an outlawed referendum from taking place. on wednesday prime minister mariano to high called on separatists leaders to quote. stop the escalation of radicalism and disobedience once and for all. catalan authorities meanwhile have vowed to unilaterally honor the results either way within forty eight hours of the votes. but more on that i'm joined by james summers his

electorate in international law. at lancaster university thanks for being with us on fronts twenty force nights and. that's really the accusation is is that the spanish government is being heavy handed and what is the risk that this will back foreign and fish. others will moderate castle lands and they would otherwise of i should note towards spacing was fine. well this is exactly the risk for the of the spanish government's. i'm not the spanking argued that the law was on its side yes the constitution says of spain is one nation. and that is indivisible. so harm think the governors back by the constitutional court's hadn't an elegantly can say it is unconstitutional. and yet at the same time. to actually arrest people to find people for carrying out this referendum. could have. the complete opposite effect what the spanish government wants how it feeds into the consular narrative. on kudlow nationalist narrative the there being oppressed the bears celebrities are being violated. are we get

calls example of that the european commission should should intervene. are too slow to support the catalan side arm. it's. it is is a high risk strategy. and the the danger for spanish governed his by pushing the so haunt. dance. with public opinion sally finely balanced. that people who might be sympathetic no well not not necessary ones independence but simply. are sympathetic to the idea of catalonia standing up for itself. against spain they mike's. up move towards the independence vote so yes it's it's a high risk high risk for strategy that another but it is not far away and. we had that the the president of customer no on their last night saying that the vote will go ahead despite described and i mea. in legal in practical terms how can that happen how can i i've region declared. independence. with that they could try to find a way to organize the referendum on officially and it was like being hit the

full. into thousand fourteen they held a referendum which was. affected on independence let wasn't sort of formally. out formally legally binding arm this again was considered to be unconstitutional takes them but it. of advocates its session they held an election last year allah which was seen as a sort of independence referendum by proxy. it's always possible. that they could find a way to hold it on officially but then. the problem would be credibility could they then say that this is something the people freely participated in this is the genuine voice of the people. if the accident on a survey to clad independence and there is this. suggestion sir they might simply to unilaterally declare independence. well then that would raise. some of the problems that the very life of very unlikely to get anyone to recognize them. now they've they've to to some extent to internationalize it a said they play a chord on the european commission to intervene. but a lot of other european

countries will be nervous looking at catalonia. the courses britain because britain misleading me you but a lot of countries in eastern europe. countries bordering the soviet union woods. look at what's happening in kovler and say well look. this could happen with our russian russian minorities. so arm over who. perhaps of the moments. . states are just looking to see how this will go to largely see this is something. that is spain's internal affair unless it really escalates. and now i'm i'm. sorry ahead and just just review everything on time i just wanna talk about the issue at briefly because and that is another legal called why reason out what would happen to the status of an independent. at catalunya within the european union despite of course would have that the power to veto its accession to the eu. well the lady the legal position when one region breaks away from another state is that it becomes a new state. so it's previous membership

of every organization arm ends in a sense cappelletti would be of an entirely new state. would have to apply. part for membership of the u. s. and all of the he you of every international organization article spain could veto. arm a kathleen is exception to the e. it yes. right james summers that legacy investigate thanks very much indeed for joining please. well here in france the right hands man off the far right politician marrying the pen has quits the from nacionales florio filippos step down during an internal struggle for party leadership. that was sparked by the pens crushing defeat in may's presidential election. to carol has more detail. only fifty a battle for power at the french far right national front party has turned ugly. one national t. v. vice president flowing outfit equal announced he's leaving the f. and. after being relieved of his responsibilities. armitage well they told me i was the vice president of nothing
