5:06 am
popular we asked for to declare an independent state. responsibly with all due respect i asked parliament to suspend the declaration of independence so that's in the coming weeks we can undertake a dialogue going to get it again in a million i think you should have declared independence because now she says she wants dialogue the kettle on it has asked the spanish government like seventeen times and every time the doors have been closed so i believe he would have finally declare it and i am a bit disappointed he stayed could he didn't take the step for that everybody wanted we understand he wants to but catalonia has spoken and we wanted independence. and i want independence i don't want anything to do with spain my ancestors wanted it but we are forced to the spanish if i have a can say that my nationality is catalan very happy. or that's.
5:07 am
been following developments for us in the region good to see you what's been the reaction so far can you tell us more. worry following what was meant to be a major historic announcement this potential declaration of independence that the region had been waiting for with a bated breath catalonia has now woken up to the question of now what because certainly to say the least for many here especially following the gruesome images of violence that we saw unravel on october first on referendum day there we are action has been raised eyebrows and some have even gone so far as to describe what happened as a betrayal. that we will not return to any parliamentary activity until steps towards the implementation of republic. well these are statements from the sea you people are which is quite crucial in the make up of the council on regional parliament they expected this to be a major historic moments they thought the moment had. certainly come to announce
5:08 am
the independence now the see you keep party two years ago when they were elected in this region a regional parliament together with the june spell c. were together for yes coalition they were the ones who made up the pro independence majority that the government had hoped would allow them and give them a card blanche for of course all this independence referendum and now that. they are certainly not happy with the way to events that have gone now in terms of reactions from madrid i mean clearly they've been saying that the days leading up to the referendum in the following the referendum that they see what has been up to was illegal they said they wouldn't recognize any declaration of independence they even talked about potentially imposing article one hundred fifty five from the spanish constitution which has never been done before and which would be something that basically freezes the regions autonomy and so far we've heard reactions from madrid of the force much more expected to come especially as the day of rivals today so far they've said it just looks like it's demonic doesn't really know where
5:09 am
he's headed let's take a listen to this. speech that the president of catalonia made today is a speech of a person who does not know where he is where he's going and with whom he wants to go the catalan regional government kemah display the results of the referendum because it was an illegal act a fraudulent one and without the minimum guarantees. well now basically the question is what's going to happen here next because obviously the leader carlos which tomorrow made so many loud promises in the days leading up to the referendum he said he would even consider going to prison over this independence issue he then said commission of independence would come within forty eight hours following the referendum and obviously we've seen yesterday that he's decided to take it down a notch obviously part of the reaction to certainly phones ringing off the hook in his office from madrid as well as the european union but the clarity here is that the cast lead leader is not going to be able to sit on all chairs at once he's not going to be able to satisfy the major pro and. pendants movement here in catalonia
5:10 am
he's already clearly not satisfied madrid even though now he's saying he wants to be able to so really we're going to have to wait and see what exactly unravels and whether any kind of dialogue is still going to be able to take place between barcelona and madrid. and thank you. it was a tuesday evening that it took some time for the leader to eventually deliver his long awaited speech.

us parents. who. e.u. parliament still jasko local was an observer of the referendum he believes the cattle and president ultimately cave in to massive pressure. well i think it appears him or there's a very difficult case which way shouldn't they have been you know an overspread sort of forum or site both of a political person from. and also the european union but there's a finite set of presidents to about doing the and not to make this declaration about to divide this as a catalyst side that was expecting that kind of international intervention which is not a cop and without this in their sort of heated if i sort of a cover to face this party state the mother eat and mother it is much more a bottle full of the. cut on the government on the one hand has to think of course
5:12 am
about spain and the spanish state but on the other hand yes to think about this huge move from the right people will be set up so to defame be identical to the plates and to defend you the result of the referendum so clearly no he has to think and to be released yesterday thank you thank you basically sitting in a way that matches the ambitions of god because. he owns the house to. he said that if any father called the sponge case. the u.s. u.k. relationship has always been branded as special one after another american and british leaders made sure to stress how important and strong it was however a former adviser to barack obama has revealed it was all seen as one big joke. reports repeat something long enough and people will believe that the relationship between america and britain will remain strong our relationship is very special
5:13 am
special relationship that exists between our two nations people forge friendships together that is what makes this relationship special i hope to have a good relationship with them has eighty years been a special relationship it was very important for us to mention the special relationship in every press conference that we had when the u.k. were here but really we laughed about it behind the scenes nowadays on both sides of the pond the phrase special relationship is rarely outed without a generous dose of irony some say that you started with the bromance between these two leaders as something maybe that you some personal interest that you have in common maybe in religion or somehow art or music or we both here. grace tony blair's support for the u.s. led invasion of iraq and him the unsavory nickname of bush's poodle america was less reciprocal in its loyalty though when bush's success so weighed in on the

a lasting support to this most special relationship but according to reports donald trump's promise to prioritize a trade deal with the u.k. was broken just days later when the german chancellor angela merkel convinced him to deal with the e.u. first and just last month the u.s. didn't shy away from slapping heavy import tariffs on bomb body a jets made in northern ireland after a complaint from u.s. company boeing and basically disappointed by this. is hugely important to northern ireland in terms of the jobs the telecom special relationship was immortalized by winston churchill but over seventy years down the line the rhetoric and the reality don't seem to match and that makes it increasingly prone to ridicule no particular special before it might have pain i think it's going to be it's our now
