where to go from here and how can the european community help well i ask the former head of the council of europe walter. this stubborn kind of drive for independence has been met with a heavy spanish crackdown people fired out interest it was catalonian uproar and measured style warnings hardline resolve. the european union react to the crisis in a peaceful way i would be found after the clashes with passion in the region and an all time high and can brussels help palmer out as aleutian walter shrimper welcome to the show it's good to have you on our program now you were at the helm of the council of europe and very vocal in your support for e.u. unity but at the moment the continent has its problems for instance in spain got to lonia has voted for independence while madrid says to referendum was illegal clashes between the spanish police and independence supporters left more than eight hundred people wounded and the region has now gone on strike so in your opinion what's next will one side back down or is another spanish civil war on the cards. it calls a plea for dialogue that is no alternativ

the council of europe is a powerful human rights group but it's not connected to the e.u. brussels has failed to call for any probe into the new risk claims of police misconduct seen during voting or professor hector lopez both will says that the e.u. will back madrid no matter what you are not interested in. talking about human rights on the lawn and what's going on they would react if the polish government goes forward with. human rights we cannot forget. the kingdom office that's more than one trio of euros mostly european banks so by the moment european union countries are not interested in this clique of spin. that's why. by the moment the only improvement that we hear from the council you were up. in its football team will apparently be accompanied by surveillance experts of the twenty eighteen world cup here in russia now according to a newspaper report the squad is concerned russia might plant bugs spawn that a major security detail will accompany the squad and it's not beyond the realms that they will have someone sweeping brooms beforehand the last thing the mainl

at the council of europe's venice commission. had already set price the referendum that is a full in line with the referendum regulations. on top of this there is fear and what we hear from analysts and dominance affect fear of contagion. that if brussels speaks out and somehow defends the. but not setting precedents the other restive regions. with talking about and as cusick afar france and north italy from italy. and so early today i spent shoo at even the trust of his a top european expert. and this is what he had to say about the israel. brussels is going to be very difficult to take any position on this crisis. because the last thing the brussels wants is to be accused produces destabilizing member states. and of course where the spanish government is right in legal terms in constitutional terms it was. the other but the same time we can say that the mistake. prime minister avoid it was not very different and steak that president in a club usually two ukrainian. can basically do show of force a united people and people who ot

this is absolutely clear the council of europe have spoken the european commission has spoken german french italian governments have spoken there is no international support whatsoever for cutting. for an independent catalonia because alone eons know this there are regional leaders and but i don't yet know with as well they tried to play as you they don't but they're quite clear that indeed there is no support from the european institutions some from any other european country for their declaration of independence so it's no surprise dot indeed they type us turned against the separatists some as they have tried to actually move towards independence this russian has been working better for the unity of spain indeed related that dagestan chef de la cruz but as an economic analyst thank you very much indeed for your thoughts and. now a former adviser to barack obama reveals the so-called special relationship between the u.s. and the u.k. was seen as a joke or on that after the break. with more make this manufacture consent to public wealth. when the ruling classes protect themselves. wi

a new report from the council of europe says very little progress has been made in getting women into positions of power one issue is reintegrating women who've taken a career break for family reasons jessica baldwin reports on a new british scheme aiming to help. constructing a super sewer to meet the demands of a growing where trouble us tideway is building the twenty four kilometer tunnel it's also building up its workforce of women with internships designed for women who've taken career breaks henry had to give particular time off to raise three children she wanted to go back but with a gaping hole in her c.v. companies weren't interested so she applied for a high level paid internship i felt quite confident when i. thought my goodness what am i doing i do. these questions so i think that's a natural way to feel probably when you're suddenly back in that situation the internship now a full time job was organized by women return or they found many women needed support to get out of the house and into the office there is an erosion of self confidence and self belief that happens whe

this game is so can they deny to do it it would be more prudent to probably think a look to the council of europe or some external body to take on this mediation and not get involved directly. if the e.u. doesn't get involved directly it's still affected by what goes on in spain in catalonia what constructive role can the e.u. play in this crisis. it really could only sort of talk it can talk behind the scenes to its member states and appeal to everybody not to get pulled into the forces that have been unleashed here in spain not to sort of to search for peaceful solutions for those regional conflicts before they get heated up like we have now seen on sunday when they reach the point because we have had scotland we have floundered and we have northern italy as we have several several countries where this could all of us begin to flare up and so the constructive role of the you could only be to say folks let's not get to this let things not get to this point let's sort of figure something out everybody can speak their language and sing their songs we need political some solutions for us barbara th

starts who is the president of the alliance of liberals and democrats for europe calls this a fake independence adding that he doesn't recognize it and the council of europe secretary general says that the unity of spain must be protected but scroll down as you can see just below his comments gordon responds pointing out that in a letter you'll see spaniards protecting the unity you are supporting and to explain this a letter or time means higher. and it's basically a term common in the use for supporters of the cats land movement and for example this cup i want to show you which is getting a lot of traction people carrying spanish flags attacking the cat saloon radio station presumably because it's part of catalonia is public broadcasting service people sharing this video are describing the protesters as fascists and here's another video of a pro unity protester punching an independent supporter outside a bar in boss alone now. now it's been retreated thousands of times but on the other side of the spectrum there's the side people are talking about a silent majority showing just how many people in boston support the government in madrid and wan

has now become a signatory to council of europe legislation which looks also at sexual harassment so if you're asking me what can the parliament what can other institutions do the fact is that we need to take the law seriously and we need to ensure that we implemented also in institutions both in brussels and absolutely everywhere ok now you mentioned this legislation being in place or has it been helpful at all for every second woman in brussels as it and the fact that there is a signatory hasn't helped out either isn't it time then for an independent investigation into the european parliament. well european parliament has its procedures to follow and i do know that they've set up a committee and that was stated that they're going to look into this so they have actually official procedures that they should follow and i think what we know from having done research on this is that if you don't collect robust information about the extent of their views you really only touch the tip of the iceberg so when women begin to come forward that might in fact be the tip of the iceberg and so yo

to back off and there's this popular movement you've been seeing on the streets of barcelona and throat council in europe which has been pushing for independence and is going to keep pushing those people are not going to go back to the g. kind of go back in the bottle in my belief really they have left spain and it's difficult to see what spain can do to force them back in you know occupy it with military force whatever not likely really twenty four centuries so it's very difficult although i think this is going to play out for some months i don't see at the end really if people have to say it's a we how you can force them to come back. he didn't the headlines this morning has been the broader reaction from around the world has been overwhelming support for madrid warnings about similar dependence pushes in the european union to. look so who is and who isn't backing a united space there's plenty of reaction coming in given these major developments happening in catalonia albeit with very few surprises we have heard from the president of the european council donald to school has said that nothing changes a

really against democracy and human rights we just heard from the president of the european council that's the governments in europe done to us that he talked to my piano hari the spanish prime minister and obviously voiced his concerns and he said that he shared the constitutional concerns are far higher about the legality of the referendum however he hoped that there would be no further escalation and no further violence and very similar things we heard earlier from the european commission here in brussels there a friend of mine was and remains illegal however let's listen to what spokesman margarita sheena's had to say to the violence we call on all the relevant players to know move very swiftly from confrontation to dialogue. violence can never be only instrument in politics so beyond talking a barber of a so what can be you do. nothing simply because as opposed to popular opinion the european union is not this supra national organisation that can sort of interfere in the in the sort of inner affairs of its member states it simply doesn't have that power it can offer itself as a mediator and it has behind the s

aggrandizement they took over most of the south wing of the lot so for their great council they had the walls and ceilings painted by the best artists in europe it was here that the world's largest oil painting was created that was paradise but politics at the center of the nation power was anything but paradise as the saying went with any post then christian. often even the powerful men of state didn't know what dubious channels someone had been denounced it was an adult morning in july seventeenth fifty five when the republic's inquisitors trapped the most famous victim a young writer was accused of treason he was none other than jack ahmed casanova who had long been rumored to be seducing young girls the sentence was five years imprisonment and the prison he was to be sent to was even then one of the world's most notorious the lead cells of the ballots counted. anyone who ended up behind these bans usually had little hope of regaining freedom and so the bridge leading to the sounds of and really lived up to its name as the bridge of sighs but covered over was not to leave freedom behind for ever when he crossed the bridge of sighs he succe

certainly across the european union we've heard for one from the president of the european council donald tusk who has said that for europe quote nothing changes he's also said that the european union is going to be continuing to communicate with spain madrid directly and he has said quote hope the spanish government favors force of argument not argument of force of course in reference to some of the violence that we saw unravel on the october first referendum one police did crack down on the electorate on that day now in reaction to that we heard from the cattle on leader karla's which they won't say that as you know cattle always favor the force of arguments we have also heard from the prime minister of belgium who has said that a political crisis can only be solved through dialogue we call for a peaceful solution with respect for national and international order and reaction to that carl is predictable and also said that dialogue has been and will always be our choice to solve political situations and achieve peaceful solutions we have also heard from the u.s. state department's they have said that they support keeping

here is what the president of the european council donnas tusk tweeted in reaction to events. —— donald tusk. our europercelona. she gave her views on how the latest views will be unsettling eu leaders. it is extremely unsettling for the people here who are living to separate realities. there are those who believe they are living in an independent catalan republic and those who are against independence who 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, j

europe does something. better get out of. the european union has indeed expressed concern european council president donald tusk tweeted that he had spoken to spanish prime minister mariano rajoy and appealed to him to avoid escalation. roy later met with spanish opposition leaders for emergency talks. as spain faces its biggest constitutional crisis in decades there are fears of prolonged instability and unrest. the catalan parliament is expected to vote later this week on whether to make a declaration of independence unless talks resolve the crisis it could be set to deepen even further. let's get a quick check now of some other stories making news around the world the death toll in separatist violence in cameroon has risen to more than seventeen with dozens more people wounded in clashes broke out on sunday between protesters and security forces in the country's in the speaking regions. english speaking activists are calling for independence from the french speaking majority. a russian court has sentenced the opposition leader alexina vali to twenty years in jail for organizing illegal public meetings he was arrested on fri

of the first to arrive was theresa may. here she is speaking to the bbc. this council is about taking stock and looking ahead to how we can tackle the challenges we all share across europeontinuing oui’ across europe. that means continuing our cooperation, at the heart of the strong partnership we want to build together. we will be looking at the concrete progress that has been made in rx negotiations, and looking at setting out our ambitious plans for the weeks ahead, particularly i want to see an urgency in reaching an agreement on citizens rights. we have heard the word urgent a lot today because i think both sides of this negotiation understand that time is running short. just after theresa may arrived, lithuania's president came through and she stopped and spoke to me to give me her perspective on the brexit negotiation. ie looking forward to dinner? with theresa may? always we are happy to see her. we would like to see more openness and more honesty. some in the uk are worried there will not be a deal, what would you say to them watching the bbc?” think the deal needs to be agreed for both sides. for europe and for britain in the future. that is the best solution
