government the central government also wants new elections in catalonia for his part the separatist leader collis pushed him all his urging catalans not to give way in the arm wrestling with mccreight. while the outcome of both parliament sessions has been described as historic plunging both madrid and barcelona further into uncertainty and we have team coverage of these the breaking developments in barcelona charlotte charleston hill and covering events from madrid is martin roberts good evening to you burch i want to start off with you of course so we're just a couple hours later now since that unprecedented a new for a kind of penance declaration inside the parliament the square first the mood outside right now. a lot of i think he's got a bit. three he was a. problem and all the things that people love that phrase that coming. out. so you think. you know right thing like oh. thank god this. thing the real. thing thanks i think. think think think. think think think think think think think think think you think people think it's just the building that's right i'm writing to a general joint make

a collie missed for el mundo here, and also a lecturer.r. we'll carles puigdemont declare independence? he is in a vulnerable position and according to cata la n vulnerable position and according to catalan law, the referendum gave him the power to do that? he will be independent but do so in a room that leaves room for negotiation. they are hoping for someone to interfere and come here to mediate between the governments. the only way is essex and do that is by declaring independence tomorrow. —— the only way that they can do that. but they have made it clear that they do not wa nt have made it clear that they do not wantan have made it clear that they do not want an interlocutor, there will be no dialogue? that's precisely the problem, brianna rahane and his government can only negotiate if someone forces them to. they are not willing to negotiate on these terms. what with the response be here? how concerned are you about how many people would come to the streets if madrid imposed rule again?” people would come to the streets if madrid im

that's a basic world view that i think all realists share, and that -- but we think this could collied to escalation which would be detrimental to all parties involved. and then in terms of trying to look forward here a little bit, you know, one thing that i think we probably don't think enough about is what's the general context for the american debate. and i find the context for the american debate about russia to be very one much detached from reality. and again, trying to see the world as it is. i mean, the united states spends ten times what russia does on its military force. europe's gdp alone -- leaving aside the united states -- swamps russia completely. european military spending is robust, and even if the united states wasn't part of this at all, europe is a strong, rich area that could easily deter russia. so i think that there's so much of this, so much more is made out of this. now, that's not to say there aren't challenges, there aren't problems, it's not a defense of putin. but again, there's a context in which we have to be careful about assuming this is the cold war ag

demanding that the region clarify whether it has declared independence or not but cattle on president collisut him on did little to explain the regions a condition in a letter he did not answer yes or no over the question of independence instead put him on has called for two months of dialogue well spanish prime minister mariano mariano rajoy has previously rejected talks he warned that if catalonia declares independence madrid could suspend the regional government well for the very latest now let's cross over to the catalan capital barcelona where d.w. correspondent barbara faisal is standing by barbara put him up has given a response but he still hasn't given a clear answer as to whether or not he's declared independence so why is he playing his cards so close to his chest. he's playing a game terry that says show me your curds to run hard but i won't show you mine really what this is is a holding game pushing on is trying to find some wiggle room to manipulate himself to extricate himself from the impossible political trap that he has gotten into because basically whatever he does it's wr
