and where is mr puigdemont, 48 hours after he declared the new catalan republic? well, he left barcelona this weekend, coming here to the mediaeval town of girona. it is his hometown, also known as the heartland of catalan nationalism. but right now it's in full fiesta swing. today was the annual celebration of this town's patron saint, complete with human—tower building, a time—honoured catalan tradition. translation: the human tower symbolises the catalan spirit. when we stick together, we can achieve big things, reach for the sky! the mayor of girona is a good friend of carles puigdemont. for her and other independence supporters, he remains the catalan president, whatever spain says. is he worried about going to jail? translation: of course president puigdemont is worried about being arrested. the spanish government has already jailed two independence activists, so he's concerned, yes, but never afraid. we found girona full of enthusiasts for the new catalan republic, people who say they'll defend it peacefully but unrelentingly. i think the catalan republic ex

long live the catalan republic. thank. you. next. half an address by mr deputy president of the catalan government. good afternoon members of parliament mass citizens of the republic i would like to say a few words. and was here. a list i will try it and to make it pleasant now we're talking about time where there are mixed emotion and full of hope and i would like to address all citizens to. those who are. very. we asked them to asked responsibly. being humble and generous and i would like to address also those citizens who feel concerned. about a legitimate concern if that's the way they feel it we want to ensure that that we are acting in good will with respect and love and we ask them to trust us. so that we can hold the challenges of nowadays and the future we are convinced. that we always ask for universal values. and if i'm a. universal values that the. christie and world made mention of brotherly love. equality in front of god and also in republican terms we talk about equality for eternity and freedom. with different terms we

first, let's look at the new catalan republic.t work when it has no power, no recognised legitimacy outside of this region and those people who believe in it. if we look at madrid, it wants to impose direct rule on catalonia and it is 300 miles away, so how will it impose it on all the catalans here who will not recognise it and the 200 thousand catalan civil service is who want to work for the catalan government. how far is the prime minister wanting to go to force his will? tonight there are many questions. everyone here sees stormy days ahead but they hope very much there will be no violence. an alleged member of the banned far—right group national action has appeared in court accused of planning to murder the labour mp rosie cooper with a machete. the 22—year—old man is charged with terrorism offences and threatening to kill a policewoman. he appeared at westminster magistrates‘ court along with five other men. they were all remanded in custody. daniel sandford reports. arriving at westminster magistrates‘ court this morning i

catalans who reject it. tonight independence supporters in barcelona are celebrating with abandon their brand—new republic withd little recognition, dancing on the edge of a precipice. the decision by the catalan parliament to declare independence has been condemned by leaders across europe, with britain saying it wanted the unity of spain preserved. barcelona has had a long fractious relationship with madrid, but things have been brought to a head by the disputed independence referendum earlier this month. sarah rainsford reports from madrid. support for a tough stance against catalan independence. many spaniards, like their government, see the move to break away as illegal. so they've begun flying the national flag here to show they're backing for a united country and for madrid's moved to take control in catalonia. this lady told me the separatists should be in prison for their move. this man still hoped the crisis could be sorted so catalonia stays with spain. his friends are from all over the country. but catalan separatism has deep roots. the region's push for autonomy was a key trigger for the civil war

but this is the first week that catalonia spending under spain's direct rule and meanwhile the catalan republic left the party that's in the catalan parliament this party announced it will take part in the december twenty first elections what do you think that means we're hearing that from a number of parties here in the governing coalition with crucial i believe it means that looks like they're sort of starting to abandon this independence push that they're losing faith in it almost we know is wow that the parliament here has canceled the meeting that was shed you will tomorrow accepting it seems that they have been dissolved so it looks like this this dream of independence is starting to fall apart a little bit where the pressure on is going to turn that around he is due to give a statement apparently later today from brussels where he's going to declare that is not over yet is all still to play for we don't know but it certainly looks like it's not happening here in catalonia at the moment. chill some reporting for us from barcelona thank you charlotte. how academy award winning actor kevin

a catalan republic had been declared, but not in everyone's name.any here don't want independence. just around the corner, we found this man waving a spanish flag. >> i am not happy, i'm not represented. the catalan people as a whole didn't vote. >> it is disasters, the result of an extended manipulation which does not reflect the will of the catalan people. katya: but nothing today was going to stop the catalan president from savoring his moment in history. parliament, hen spoke of his emotions, but also of his conviction that declaring catalan independence was the right thing to do, the legitimate thing to do, he says. hardly the view of the spanish government in madrid, which is fuming. the public prosecutor here says he will be filing charges of rebellion against the catalan president. at the very same time the catalan parliament voted on independence today, the spanish senate gave the green light to mariano rajoy's government to leadership andn bring the reins of power back to madrid. this is the first time in modern spanish history that one of

she said but i'm still waiting for someone to tell me what the new catalan republic is going to be like. frankly, i find it hard to tell a difference between a right-wing centralist party and another one that is catalan nationalist. she was quoted saying this before police attacked the referendum vote and hurt over 900 people. julian? >> it is pretty tiresome. you see the so-called left in turkey. do they support kurdish independence or do they oppose it? they oppose it. easy the so-called left in the socialist party. do they support catalan some determination or oppose it? they oppose it. the same thing happens everywhere. left, if youm like, equivalent to the democratic party in the united states. -- personalons group power is mostly fueled by merging with the state itself. therefore they become part of the state apparatus. but the only way to keep the state honest is that people have the right to say they've had enough as individuals to leave and as peoples or an area to push toward secession or some kind of new deal. a bit, frankly, distasteful. amy: let me just -- i want to read an

things to come and i thing today is are they to take take things calmly what we expect is republic the catalan parliament is due to vote on friday and so much waiting there is a call for just to be any easy insights but what the catalan did was quite a clever move with a couple of president that very clever move because devolved decision true because . now you know a bit of pro independence majority there so obviously that points in one clear direction that probably you will have a vote in favor of an attorney but he warns that when that happens the violence witnessed by many during the referendum could be repeated things might get very ugly here with the repression of the spanish government we are a peaceful people we are a civic we are for so obviously you can expect some massive resistance from the. people because we are very proud nation now we're not more than any other nation but we're not less than any other nation to our rights we have the right of self-determination we are going to support we're going to defend our rights no matter where the final independence decision is taken all se

. >> for us, independence is an indispensible tool for building a catalan republic, which will serveo create a new society. >> this view is gaining more and more support in esparreguera. these demonstrators chant "vote! vote!" >> of course that has an impact on me, as a mayor and neighbor. it's a tragedy that contributes to neither unity nor consensus. catalonia is deeply divided. >> eduard rivas is seeking common ground. a dedicated "european," he does not want a catalan "brexit." >> independence won't help us achieve our aims as a country or as a community. instead, we should be seeking to become more european and organize on a continental level. >> the debate is dominating the programe of the local radio station. the mayor has seen sentiment against him growing. >> social media is full of insults and disrespectful posts. i think that's partially related to what the regional government has said about mayors who aren't going along with the referendum. that's rather worrying. >> a short time later, the dispute escalated when spanish police arrested a number of regional government rep

there are those who believe they are living in an independent catalan republic and those who are againsto are waiting for the spanish government to return what they see as normality to the region. spaniards right across the country are worried. it is notjust the basques who are worried by this situation. eu leaders are watching this very carefully because issues of nationalism, separatism and economic effects are relevant to every single economic leader. to 1500 businesses have taken away their legal headquarters out of catalonia. that economic unrest is having a knock—on effect on growth prospects for spain which has just clawed its way out of a double dip recession. it's the fourth largest economy in the eurozone. that's why we've heard from the eu economic chief on what is happening here. historians, journalists and conspiracy theorists have been poring over thousands of newly declassified files relating to presidentjohn f. kennedy. but presidentjohn f. kennedy. but president trump has decided to keep hundreds of other so file secret for the moment at least on the request of security

parliament of catalonia declared independence from the rest of spain so they want to create a catalan republic while approval has been given to spain's national government to impose direct rule over catalonia lots of ground to cover let's start at the very beginning and the moment the declaration was made. so that move was backed by seventy votes to ten in a ballot boycotted by opposition party m.p.'s the regional president's carlist shared hugs and handshakes celebrating for them a victory they've longed for an outside massive crowds cheer the results as you can see many holding signs saying that catalonia has never been part of spain so here's some of what this puja mom had to say. just a short time ago. the political representatives that were legitimately elected have adopted the mandate that was validated through the polls kettle on citizens in the next few hours we'll have to keep calm we have to remain peaceful in a civil and democratic manner while just after a catalonia as parliament made that stunning declaration spain's national government obtained the approval it needs to impose dir

let's go back to that hypothetical catalan republic. a significant development. question is, is today the day the catalan declare independence? this could be imminent. be.a: it could we know the vote is scheduled to take place at 12:00 p.m., barcelona time. that is in 40 minutes. it was unclear whether the parliament was good to vote on it. yesterday was a roller coaster day in barcelona. carles puigdemont kicked up the day with the declaration on the table. at one point he seemed like a reasonable election as the way out. they are going to vote to make sure go ahead and make this -- they are going to go ahead and vote to make this declaration. the declaration was made but it wasn't voted. this time, it seems it will get voted. tom: what is the mood in the streets? we have seen more counter protests. are we going to have protests/riots on friday? saturday? sunday? maria: we could see that, because the declaration is made and it does get voted, it will trigger action from the central government in madrid. there are consequences when you do this. the declaration is

a safe tax and legal raise children a sell order in this case obviouslyly a possible new catalan republic doesn't provide confnfidence among business side as a high made act and that's why that m meeting te headquarters out of catalonia. the police with us lots will say there's no. consumer spending in the united states jumped by one percent in september that's the biggest gain in eight years. data showed a sharp increase in sales of durable goods especially motor vehicles. in the aftermath of hurricanes and flooding in texas and florida. that means the sharp upward trend may not continue wages grew at a rate of just point four percent while inflation also remain sluggish. the core personal consumption expenditures price index which is the central bank's preferred measure of inflation. grew at an annual pace of one point three percent. extending a five year streak of falling short of the fed's two percent target. moving on some of the day's other business headlines no. hsbc has said it may move fewer jobs from london to paris the thousand detail initially plans. banks said it still expect

he had to promise something to them that they will they will have immediately a very soon a catalan republic while at the same time show to the international viewers that you know that the bad guy is the spanish government that he's just the good guy that he's doing his best. berthing the fact that the car the referendum was a pure farce neglecting any information about the manipulation that catalan public television is doing applying standards of freedom that none no no no democratic journalist would accept anywhere so yeah it's ok so he presented you sense in something of a one sided view of what's going on but but returning to the where we are now it seems to me that nothing has changed we know as much we know that the catalans want independence he said can we please have independence agree please talk about it so it's. we're going to trust you that's going to change with that because also i mean what i want the problems is and they do and i know you do that i mean journalist do that in good faith bad when you i'm a scout alone as these guys you know so when you said a couple of hundred d

indeed first of all i think after police brutality the catalan republic up attentional cuttle and republic east are they more legitimate done in than it was last week internally speaking as well we have seen today people from all walks of life demonstrating condemning the actions of the spanish foreign military forces on the spanish national police so we see that support for independence is growing and growing and growing but the spanish government is doing is simply hiding and they are in denial that proving that the pro independence movement is growing and partly due to the actions of the spanish government. one of the things that we've been saying is there's a lot of comparisons and analogies in the press but in a way this is catalans independence is even more. massive and bigger than a lot of similar activities we've seen in the last couple of years catalonia is an economically much more crucial component of spain than say scotland is in the u.k. and many analysts are also saying that this could be a much more catastrophic situation for the future of the e.u. than even brecht's it was

it is much better a catalan republic, than spain.ery peaceful environment, where mps in parliament can environment, where mps in parliament ca n vote, environment, where mps in parliament can vote, and then we can start talks with the spanish government in madrid. i think that will be the best things. we have stretched out oui’ best things. we have stretched out our hand, we've tried to talk for a number of times with international mediation it hasn't been possible. that's what has brought us to this situation. spain's prime minister mariano rajoy wants to stop a cata la n mariano rajoy wants to stop a catalan breakaway. this morning he was cheered as he entered parliament in madrid. the senate is meeting in order to give mariano rajoy the power to suspend self rule in the cata la n power to suspend self rule in the catalan region. translation: power to suspend self rule in the catalan region. translatiosz power to suspend self rule in the catalan region. translation: in my opinion we have no other alternative. the only thing we can

the resolution this is a translation of it we've seen the document it says to reconstitute the catalan republic as an independent sovereign state with social and democratic rules of law to initiate the process which is democratic and citizen based there is no reference to elections as such but this will be voted upon and it is a minority government has to be said but with the backing of far left party the c o p it will mean that should it be put to the vote it will pass and we've already heard from other opposition parties now a number of them including the socialists and also the ruling party the p p that they will boycott this vote sure it's taking place there's only one party the yes we can alliance which will vote and that party is split so no one knows the numbers but that's really irrelevant it would pass in terms of what the atmosphere is like well there are very large crowds building now there's layers of security around this parliament and so far all of the demonstrations are peaceful and they're in support of a declaration of secession from this parliament building now nothing sure in

europe's newest state here remembering the life of the last man who declared an independent catalan republic. in one thousand nine hundred forty this was with form a castle and president. was executed by firing squad for a belling against the military rule of general francisco franco with only hours to go until just a creature god except for defies the order from the dread to end his drive for secession he gave no clue as to his intention. on behalf of the government and myself i want to reiterate our commitment to civility. and also democracy as the inspiration for the decisions we have to make. on the eve of the day when mr preacher want is expected to confirm or deny his declaration of independence his presence here. morial ceremony for a hero of catalan independence is not going unnoticed and many here are drawing parallels with that situation. there has been much emotion stoked here in the past few weeks but the attempt to frame this as a story of oppression of a wealthy region by the central government is not convincing the european union despite the violent crackdown by madrid on any

madrid of against the separatist movement actions would only slow the nonstop creation of the catalan republic. if there are guarantees of fair treatment and if you can understand the reaction of the guarantee to can all of us a fair prosecution, which you see in most european countries, we would go back immediately. jessica: the attempt to merge sprint with t-mobile is on life support. to include how many sprint shares it will except for each t-mobile share. the world's largest exchange owner has finally bowed to the future. cme is reversing course and plans to introduce it going futures by the end of the year. record on rose to a the news. it said earlier this year would launch a futures contract by early 2018 and is awaiting regulatory approval. global news 24 hours a day, powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in over 120 countries. i am jessica summers. this is bloomberg. haidi: thanks for that. still ahead, the world's largest appliance maker looks to grow its robotics arm. we will hear from the chairman and ceo later this hour. halfwayp next, we are through the u.s. earnings

it's better, a catalan republic, than spain.t a few hours later in another parliament, another vote. this was the spanish senate voting overwhelmingly in favour of article 155 imposing direct rule on catalonia. translation: spain is a serious country, a great nation and we're not prepared to allow some people to liquidate our constitution, our cohabitation, the rules that have served for the last 40 rules that have served for the last a0 yea rs rules that have served for the last a0 years to turn spain into one of the most democratic in the world.- the most democratic in the world.- the catalan parliament members brandished sticks as a symbolic representation of their power but the message was not confrontational. citizens of catalonia, there are coming times where we will have to be compromised to keep this country with peace. in barcelona the streets are full of pro—independent supporters but around half the population doesn't support a breakaway. catalonia is divided against itself and against spain. spain's constitutional co

allncluded measures to ask nations and institutions to recognize the catalan republic.t will be fascinating to see how quickly the eu response to ie,s latest development, vonn in the saga that is almost four weeks old. the eu has failed to recognize the legitimacy of the goings-on's in catalonia. the government of spain has been given the power to set in motion the process of essentially taking control of catalonia. vonnie: it is adjusting because puigdemont had postponed declaring a republican the referendum of october 1, really just 27 days ago now -- three or four weeks given the power to set in ago. two do that was, sort of, to give spain, the madrid parliament a way to committee, approach this differently, however the madrid parliament took a hard line and basically said it was not going to recognize any kind of secessionist moves were separatist government, and was threatening to take away powers from catalonia. i fear we might begin for in a -- escalation can we are seeing spanish 10-year bonds rise. mark: that is the key, isn't it, and maria and charles, our --i

independence, not directly saying we declare independence, but saying this is the first step to a catalan republic, we're against that one of the reasons, we don't have a social majority for that. this is why our party is saying please don't do that the consequences of that would be negative for all catalan, even also the spanish. the socialist party in spain on the national level presented an alternative. try to explain that so viewers watching can see there is a way out of the impasse >> the catalan government and spanish government have not been able to speak to each other, listen to each other this has been impossible. we have presented a proposal to reform the spanish constitution. we believe that catalan would need better recognition of their cultural identity, that the spanish style of nations, this is why we think that the reform of spanish constitution would serve to improve and to give an answer tothe political situation we have in catalonia today. >> the polls show a majority of catalans would like to see a vote at some point on independence whether that was an affirmative or negative v

police violence and millions of people voted and the outcome was a clear massive yes for the catalan republic so we have to obey the mandate of the people we had already stated that we had already discussed that and approved that in parliament it was a binding vote so now we got to deliver. friday oct sixth is a symbolic day with some sources suggesting this is when catalonia may declare independence on that date in one nine hundred thirty four then leader g.'s com pine's declared catalonia an independent republic but the rebellion was short lived and compliance was arrested. madrid ruled the referendum illegal catalan officials remain defiant under article one five five even a majority senate vote the central government could take control of all catalonia economic and political affairs that would block the breakaway. this article could be invoked because this regional government only recognizes its own laws we are disappearing the verdict of the supreme court and the spanish constitution we've never had a situation where regional government wants a session. the european union views the polit

which is a left wing party and this is the resolution the main body of it to reconstitute the catalan republic as an independent sovereign state social and democratic rule of law to be instituted with this and to initiate the process which is democratic and citizen based that's the main extract it means really the parliament will she make a declaration of secession now. how will this play out it could well be that there could be a boycott from the opposition parties the socialists for example want to have elections there and some other parties who want independence also want to go ahead with that which was the plan that was put forward to two colace push them all and he rejected it based on a number of points he couldn't get agreement but anyway there's also a suggestion that from the p.p. that's the ruling party that they should stop defying the state they should stop all actions that are illegal because this vote if it takes place and it looks as if it will do will be deemed illegal and that is a major piece of history whichever way it goes and as things stand as the mathematics go with this
