hello welcome you're watching for news here in r.t. because we've got breaking news it's been in the story day for catalonia the region's parliament has voted in favor of declaring independence from the results of the secret ballot released last hour we go live now to our correspondent in the qur'an capital barcelona. is is there for us good afternoon to charlotte just talk us through them the reaction on the streets of barcelona after news of the vote came out. incredible reaction andy i have never seen anything quite like it to see if people the estimates from the national guard here in boston and it suggest twelve thousand people were out on the streets and the moment that vote came through that it was a yes vote for independence for catalonia they went out soon be wild it looked like

there were bottles of champagne popping in the streets people broke into song they were so so happy and that was sort of the cumulation of the reaction as they were hearing each of those votes as they were being counted every time a yes vote it was a scream into the air and yes every time there was a no vote there was booing and of course doing for those who abstain did not vote as well but of course the catalonian parliament have voted for independence and the people at least here in this rally in barcelona who are incredibly happy as we know that is not the situation across the region or to all in fact many people would like to remain in spain the difficult situation now is whether this will actually become an independent republic yes the catalan parliament have said that that is what they're voting for but there are many other steps to take including the fact that we saw the reaction here that. article one five five this is that the article

that spanish senate is in madrid were voting on on whether they would take away the regional autonomy from catalonia and when that announcement came through there were huge views and then afterwards people all put their fists into the air and started singing in solidarity and one thing i found this really interesting over the last few days is regardless of what camp people are in whether they would like to remain spain or whether they are secessionists many people have joined together in action discontentment over the idea of article one five five which they believe will take away their independence and take away democracy in this region sure is the fear there charlotte we could see a repeat of the scenes we saw during the independence referendum where. the spanish police the national police were there and there was also a lot of trouble because we just heard from. a whole are you saying that law will be restored in catalonia that was his sort of comment through to spain so

a people fear for them that perhaps this could turn violent. will people see that as being a rather ambiguous comment by the spanish prime minister but at least the people i've been speaking to in boston over the last few days have again and again raised that as being a concern they mentioned the violence that they witnessed during that referendum on october the first over eight hundred people reportedly injured in that violence when you dread sent in its own police force that is on top of course the police force here in catalonia the most is why the that and who were trying to help people go about and be able to vote peacefully and that is something that people are now considering the fact is that if neutral does take control it does send police back to this region but they could be violence yet again every catalonian i have speaking to you that is a pro independent. i said that they resist that peacefully as much as possible for

them it is about their dignity it is about their independence and that they all concerns. but they will resist. and how how effective a minute speculation but how effective could that resistance be what would be the scenario institutions wouldn't work in catalonia people wouldn't go to work what sort of resistance could they put forward. how well many people have suggested it could be a case officer exam protests people wanting to go about their daily lives but demanding rypien union acknowledge the fact the catamount polymath before article one five five before that regional autonomy was stripped the castle and part of the it legally they believe will a declaration of independence so many people say that this will be about negotiating behind the scenes many people say that they believe the catalonia

president carlos p.g. molted everything he possibly could to have open discussions with madrid and they feel that lives with china down in every corner and that's it these people are speaking to you from an independent scam they've said peacefully resist but i think we could see scenes similar to what we did in the elections if people are pushed into a corner people are very serious about this idea of independence and very fierce about the idea of regional autonomy even the thing the right to remain in spain people do not like the idea of the police coming in and imposing a rule and many people said they feel that this would be exactly like going into the dictatorship and the general franco. what about the future of color sputum own people were so happy with him a few days ago because he was slightly ambiguous about the nature or the status of cattle and independence of people fully behind him.

yes i think people are behind him now many people said they were initially disappointed to be on thursday when they were expecting him to come out with an announcement whether that was the declaration of independence or a snap election which would have stopped that vote in madrid that all the article one five five he didn t. basically said i'm going to hand this back to the catalan politics site which they have today many people said immediately they were disappointed with that reaction however they got through to passage and they said actually caps it was better that it was handed back to the parliament so that it would be democratically each legally binding and also another signal to create another signal to the european parliament and you have the union catalans want to do this in the most legal way possible. and just lastly charlotte testing your knowledge here i know but. article one five five is not going to oust putin on i mean how is this going to work exactly between when he says now i know i'm now in control of the new

independent region but of course we do this saying no no still part of spain you've got to go how's it going to resolve itself. well the reality is this is an incredibly murky situation and it's absolutely unprecedented article one five five is part of the spanish constitution since nine hundred seventy eight it has never never been in that it's in the history of morton spain now under the article go right at the prime minister came close to the removal of the cattle i'm president but the reality is the catalonia form much of voted for independence so we really have to see what's going to happen over the next few days the reality is they're probably going to be very tense discussions between madrid between the catalan parliament about of way forward because in essence this crisis has escalated many people were hoping there would be some soul to the resolution this week as to what would happen for the future catalonia where . definitely if you were public whether it would remain in spain and they would be

the election something that the spanish police and said you might call for but the reality is this is historic this is unprecedented new t.v. we knows the exact situation is only time will tell. you i'm sure will be plenty of developments over the coming hours to thank for the moment charlotte a shell of the city force in barcelona. well as we mentioned just like cattle and society the region's police force is also deeply divided on the issue of independence. i think it's a bad orders from madrid and refused to use force on the day of the independence referendum they conduct was seen by some as praiseworthy and by others as treacherous.

the catalan police say that they will see the whole of the community despite the apparent divisions within its ranks. at the moment castle in society is deeply divided and that's a fact it would be hypocritical to deny the same division can be seen inside the police but first of all we want to see that we remain calm of course we will continue to do our everyday work no matter what happens and we want to cast one place to stay as the police for all catalans. ok so another recap then of our

news this hour the spanish senate has approved the mentation of article one five five it has never been used before means removing castle an autonomy spain's president called on the spanish people to remain calm he also said the rule of law in catalonia will be restored decision does come just minutes after the cattle and parliament voted in favor declaring independence from spain a total of seventy two lawmakers there voted in favor of catalan independence ten voted against and two abstained movement for secession of catalonia from spain has its roots as early as nine hundred twenty six after almost a hundred years of struggle over a landmark decision has now been made by the cattle and parliament on october the first to not remember ninety percent of cattle and that turned out for an independent referendum thank you to leave space following that hundreds of thousands to the streets both for and against independence. ok let's get more

reaction now to what's happening and what's coming out of madrid with people trying to back in the studio force then just step bring us up to date port of madrid. yes what is particularly important in this case of course no less important than the events in catalonia is what the leaders in madrid is saying what the lawmakers in madrid are deciding that is the central government in the spanish capital and there was a senate session underway just as the parliament in barcelona was deciding was voting on this historic decision in the media to have. of that decision to go along we heard news from the spanish senate they decided to invoke article one five five it is also known as the nuclear option it means that madrid right now can resort to all measures necessary to compel a crisis in one of its regions that's something that has never happened before

under this banished constitution and this was something that the spanish prime minister house cold for previously so perhaps he is keeping his promise and the senate is of proving that move he promised that he will maintain and restore the rule of law in spain and he called on spaniards to remain calm previously many has been asking the senate to approve this action to approve article one five five and here's what else we heard from the spanish prime minister mr roy. we're asking you. to dismiss the president vice president and members of the council and government likewise the regional parliament must be electing new members thank

you so we heard this massive out of applause and we understand that madrid has really been encouraged to act and we know that they can resort to power we remember all the instances of police brutality and other controversies that happened during the actual vote on independence that we saw a few weeks ago in catalonia but mr oya saying that he had no other choice and this is at this point the only way to restore democracy. the rule of law and order in his country again these are the words of marianna avoid the problem minister of spain what can happen right now are many things but first of all under article one five five that is the one hundred can do is depose the president of catalonia charlotte. they can take the region under temporary control the rest

of the government can still keep going and operating but again under a close watch by madrid and under they control and the parliament can remain active as well but they won't be able to elect a new president will see which particular parts of article one five five madrid will now implement and the most important question is of course what particular measures what particular ways to exercise all all these measures madrid will not resort to cure ok thanks for that there was any for trying to there with the latest on that what's been happening in madrid while i discussed events today with and rick follow he's from the council and solidarity independence i was arrested and was giving. but us to say you know a lot of pressure from inside the government for you to.

understand the suffering. pressure inside. the saudi officials that you go one hundred sixty five a long. time to go they want. all the know they want to go oh. yes this is something which you cannot do is the steps difficult steps course we will follow. just if you call these companies that will go out and oh no the companies will come back again i have already discussed this nobody was saying that . i. was hoping we will meet today but we are ready to pay any cost between. so with the cattle and parliament voting to declare

independence then here's a short recap of the push to be a sovereign state by now you've surely heard about cats alone his desire to go it alone the prosperous region in northeast claim the counter almost a fifth of the country's economy and believes it's paying madrid way more than it gets back catalonia is home to seven point five million people posting its own language culture and history which is why many consequence consider themselves a separate nation. but it has been a spain since the fifteenth century courtesy of king ferdinand and queen isabella. the origins of the modern says sation its movement let's fast forward to the twentieth century brain becomes a republic and cats are learning against the statute of autonomy but six years later franco comes to power and takes that away the three decades of franco's oppression and he boasted the catalans desire for independence and after his day in strange transition to democracy catalonia got its autonomy back but not enough as

many locals believe when the country's can stitch new course limits on council and claims to nationhood it started a chain. age of rancor dictate how would a non-binding independence vote back in twenty fourteen about eighty percent said yes to independence but it was declared illegal for a strange look at. northfield or whatever but the undemocratic catalonia is pressing ahead for jobs and seems more determined than ever to be in. well today spain does stand to lose up to six percent of its territory and its top earning region almost seven and a half million people to live in catalonia and it also represents twenty percent of madrid's tax income

a fifth of spain's exports come from the region too and to add to the fact that a quarter of all tourists to spain do go to barcelona the country's main tourist hub and we can now see how damaging this could prove for spain with major decisions being made in spain is the reaction coming in from around europe also let's get across some of that. joy. from the u.k. now see what's been said there. well you know definitely this is a developing. thing

come in. during this announcement from catalonia specifically he also said that europe is going to continue speaking only with spain and he did bush urged both sides to lean towards dialogue rather than using force so this is been one big reaction so far and certainly we can expect to hear more in the hours to come but what is clear here is that this is something that is not going to be very much favored throughout the european union there's no question about that because in the time leading up to the referendum of october first where ninety percent of the population that came out to vote did support independence that eventually ended up leading to the declaration of independence that we saw today we do know that leaders throughout europe were urging catalonia to not go ahead and proclaim any independence because of course this is not something that they want to become

a trend throughout the european community and certainly we have seen today that the catalan people are not ready to listen to those messages throughout europe and that they in fact did go ahead and proclaim this independence inside parliament so it's going to be really interesting to see exactly what can what happens with this next because obviously with european leaders now set to figure out well first of all what's going to be happening specifically in terms of the catalan and spanish relationship but obviously with situations such as bracks that already having happened now catalonia going ahead and declaring its independence it's a big question in terms of how this is going to be perceived through our throughout europe where other movements that want to go independent in places like italy i mean of course we always have to remember scotland other places throughout the european union where this could be seen as a sort of example to potentially follow so lots of questions and more reactions expected certainly as the day unravels with this news. in london

for us well a bit earlier i did manage to speak with you keep. coburn this is what he said. no i think it's basically the european union people don't want to be ruled by a faceless bunch of people in washington d.c. thank you so thank you thank you thank you this is a much needed break that meeting in brussels the european union has created a lot of problems economically with the euro decision making being taken away in people's minds that people cannot get hold of the representatives by the scruff of the neck and throw them out and seventy five years so i think people are just taught me by central government and large european states they're not doing what was wanted to do and it's not just spain the same brain problems with the the front of the the floodwalls in belgium various parts of europe there are problems people

want to secede. wealth around their push for independence catalonia has repeatedly face opposition from the trade as a quick recap. their argument only to those in charge in the council on government who are the protagonist in this challenge to occur existence i ask them to cease illegal activities they should abandon their objectives. i i. i. i. i.

need we are now applying article one five five because no government at all in a democratic country can accept that the law will be ignored violated or changed this has all happened under false criteria and they impose their criteria on everybody else. so then a recap of what's been happening the spanish senate has approved the implementation of article one five five it is never been used before means removing catalan autonomy spain's prime minister called on the spanish people to remain calm although he also said the rule of law in catalonia will be restored the decision which comes just minutes after the calf voted in favor of declaring independence from spain seventeen or make is that voted in favor of catalan independence ten

voted against two abstained you might remember that on october the first ninety percent of catalans that turned out for an independent referendum. today those people to hesitate to show. i. didn't. actually have made it to begin to act that. i thank you one one. that i have to thank you to the thousands you're watching r.t. international will be back with the latest from spy just off the right. when i'll grow. they. give me no must is this sunday on the night

a south and taken your last to bang turn. your at the top to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry but only i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each breath. but then my feelings started to change talked about war like it was again still some more fun to feel those that didn't like to question our arc and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind it's consume. with this one difference between us there are no other takers. claimed that mainstream media has met its maker. but also. to the ship between.
