[laughter] jonah, thank you very much. jonah goldberg.well, the president's already said, right, that this whole tax cut, hopefully, will not be phased in when it comes to the corporate tax relief. there was a bloomberg story out yesterday that said republicans, in order to not sort of have a deficit shock in the near term, would phase them in over the next few years to avoid that shock. with tax cuts, as you know, the initial jolt to the system is you lose revenue. now, of course, supply-siders and those who have been proponents of tax cuts say, yeah, the revenue comes later. but again, how they sort that out, anyone's guess. the president hoping it goes from 35 to 20 promptly. to cns news editor terry jeffrey, pete sepp and fp1 strategies manging director lauren zelk. lauren will be joining us shortly. all right, terry, play this out. how likely is it that the tax cut on the corporate front -- we'll get to individual rates in a second -- will be immediate? >> i suspect their going to phase -- they're going to phase it in, neil, and i th

extreme ends of the issue can they find a middle ground we'll get to our guests in a moment but first jonah whole reports from barcelona. he arrived at the parliament building bristling with expectation a heavy police presence hinted at the weighty announcement to come but carlos the president of catalonia is regional government stopped short of a full declaration of independence. as president it's my responsibility to declare that catalonia should become an independent state in the shape of a public. should become the words greeted with browsing applause in the chamber before the independent state party was put on hold. we asked the parliament to suspend any effects of the declaration of independence so that we can have dialogue and so that we can find the necessary solution we need to lower tensions and show our will and commitment to meet the demands of the catalan people the reaction in madrid came swiftly and this course not kato your present day that the speech that the catalan president has made today is a speech by a person who doesn't know where he is where he's going or with whom

but for supporters of catalan independence here in the city of jonah he's still the president. pushed him on to address catalonians in a prerecorded speech on saturday and called for peaceful resistance replication of article one five five the spanish constitution which imposes direct rule in catalonia from madrid. how he said it will be of my message to you is to have patience perseverance and maintain perspective. the best way we can defend what we have achieved up to now that is by democratically opposing the application of article one five five. they sufficient government bulletin put control of the catalan authorities in the hands of the central government madrid is confident that the separatists are isolated. looks as if they proclaim the republic of korea but president for a war afterwards. known that's it and european leaders back spain even though they are we want to defend democracy. this is on the they've got their own yes but the decision of catalonia will not be recognized by anybody because it's illegal they got there when you. have the spanish flag to being taken

. >> dickerson: do you think the president can fix this, jonah?t think he thinks as much to fix, i think he's what, 71 years old, he's not going to change, this is who he is. one of the things that washington still grappling with is we all like to think of the president as the boss, right? that's his role, the boss. he's also broken the blood brain barrier between reality show culture, tv culture and politics and he's also the talent. and as you may know in this business some people on tv who have very high expectations about green m&ms and everybody has to be the right way he wants to be treated like the talent not just the boss. and that's very difficult to do in politics. that's why we keep having these sort of eruptions, this corker episode is not the last one and it wasn't the first one. it's going to be going on -- that's the trump show. >> dickerson: david, what do you think about this idea of good cop bad cop? one of the criticisms he undermines secretary tillerson on north korea saying you're wasting your time, rex, on the other hand, isn

well i think the point fully is this that it's true that jonah said that it was independence deferred here the government doesn't see it that at all they regard it as a declaration of independence because they sign the dotted line and so consequently they're incensed by what the catalan government did last night what i think they also see potentially is a weakness and a split inside the capital an independence movement because clearly the far left wanted it done immediately and the more conservative elements were more cautious because they fear very much catalonia falling outside the european union they try to bridge that and they want to try to exploit what they potentially see as a split inside the independence movement and so consequently i think they want to go into the attack having said last night that there are no grounds for negotiation in that regard it is outrageous what the council on government did their options now i think basically probably only one it doesn't look like they're going to try to arrest him which had been a threat what i think they may easily do is to infoc

i think we've lost our line there too jonah how we'll stay with these live pictures the key thing there that jonah was saying of course was this that when mariano rajoy if he chooses to use the special powers article one five five of the spanish constitution we were talking to other guests in our news our program in the past half hour and a key analyst talking to us out of barcelona in front of a demonstration they looking at was saying this if mariano rajoy child chooses to use those special powers he has the discretion he is legally constitutionally ok to do that that would then mean there would have to be an election not just in catalonia but a general election in spain the problem for mr rajoy then would be is a general election which is really an election on catalan independence a session for the region of catalonia not an election on all the normal general election issues will trying to back to join if we can in the coming hours here on al-jazeera. the army in the democratic republic of congo say rebel fighters have ambushed a bus and attacked villages in the country's east it is

in the week to come but who will follow them not these people who seem to have found their voices jonah hold al-jazeera at barcelona. or we can go live to barcelona and speak to al-jazeera as a song i get you go sunny a good to see you we heard there in john hall's packages talking rather his report he's talking about a unilateral declaration of independence that could come as early as this week which obviously is the last thing that the spanish government wants. indeed barbara and in fact this is something which they have been hinting at the capital and government that they are prepared to do and factions within that government as well have been pushing for that option the nuclear option as it were just goes to show that no matter how hard the central government in madrid appears to be bearing down on the capital and government it's only pushing them to harden their stance even further and of course that then triggers off the madrid government to then harden its stance as we heard in jonah's package might enter hoyo telling the national daily herald by east that he is quite prepared to

the parliament suspend the effects of the declaration of independence to hold talks let's bring in jonah how he's been monitoring this so we were thinking there might be some kind of third way and perhaps this is it declare that the results are valid but then ask for a suspension of their independence so that they can then have talks with the various parties including the spanish government and cost in your opinion and so on . well that's obviously the intention here to try and come up with something that satisfies both sides at least for now a bridge to talks a statement a symbolic statement of catalans right to independence now do you really want in a referendum he was very careful mr mr please them all there to lay out what he believes is the legal basis for this referendum a law passed in the parliament here in september that clearly stated that within forty eight hours of a positive result in a referendum. independence would be declared well we're little bit beyond that deadline but that is his view on the legality of this situation cattle and catalonia now has won the right if not

now to offer me some concessions to come along with me in order for progress to be made by jonah for a second because let's just look at the other issues that leaders are dealing with so we're saying that not the only issue on that agenda leaders have discussed catalonia secession bid so far the e.u. has refused to intervene in that standoff and the german chancellor angela merkel is pushing the to cut funds to turkey over human rights concerns and the blocs leaders are unanimously backing the iran nuclear deal it's a show of support for the agreement that's being denounced by the u.s. president so jonah as we're saying leader is really have their hands full over there in brussels on day two of the summit. oh yes i mean even to reason over dinner admitted breaks it was only one of a great number of issues that the e.u. is dealing with now their hands are full as you say they've been appeals by the catalans to come on board and intervene and negotiate mediate in the crisis there with the european union isn't going to do that apart from anything else it's legally bound to not to not in

hill and jonah just from the british point of view there's fractions even within trees amaze cabinet about how quickly or slowly these talks are going so both europe wants results and people at home in the u.k. want to see some sort of create. conclusions from mrs may when she comes back to london. yes i think both of both of those things are true she talks of concrete progress in the breaks of talks so far she talked about ambitious plans to be set out for the weeks ahead these are the sorts of sentiments she'll be sharing with her fellow twenty seven leaders when she addresses them over dinner later the problem is that there is a widely held belief that these talks are at a point point of stalemate particularly over the issue of money which is one of the crucial issues of the first stage the so-called divorce proceedings citizens rights is another issue there but on money there is a problem she's offered twenty billion dollars plus over a period of two years a so-called transition period to meet britain's outstanding commitments and liabilities to the e.u. what the e.u. wants is th

when the dominant political story is and breaks it but not all will have welcomed a day like this jonah how al-jazeera london. now britain's high court has to determine if peruvian miners were abused by police during protests at a copper mine in two thousand and twelve suing the mining giant glen twelve suing the mining giant glencore accusing it of encouraging officers to be violent to protesters died and several others say they were injured assaulted and unlawfully detained. as reports from lima. the clashes turned deadly in the highlands of in may two thousand and twelve protesters have been demonstrating for days looking roads lighting fires and attacking police with rocks then riot police opened fire using live ammunition to demonstrators were killed and more than forty protesters and police wounded mine workers and indigenous farmers have been rallying against extract copper mining company a subsidiary of mining giant glencore the one of the company to contribute more to the region's development close a mine waste tailings down and reduce the contamination impact on the environmen

how jonah over to you. thank you we're here in barcelona it sort of feels a bit like the city is trying to catch its breath perhaps the whole of catalonia is doing the same thing after the events of last week and a lot of people wondering with some trepidation what next week may bring possibly a meeting of the cattle and parliament in contravention of a banned by the constitutional court a speech on tuesday by the regional president carlos squeege demand in which he may unilaterally declare independence for catalonia from the rest of spain which may in turn lead to madrid revoking catalonia autonomy under a never before used clause of the constitution and invoking direct rule that would provoke a constitutional crisis and a potentially very dangerous situation here well one man with an almost unique insight into at least one of those questions joins me now roll over he's the head of the regional head of foreign affairs effectively the foreign minister here you can tell us i think whether there is going to b

hollies in barcelona for us jonah what is the significance of this move to bring the national police in to guard the court well arguably i think it has greater symbolic significance than political significance look at them they're lined up these police vans outside the high court building here in catalonia it's a substantially unusual sight to see the national police on the streets of barcelona it's a provocative site so they do anybody in favor of independence here and it really points to the level of anticipation that there is now in spain and here in catalonia ahead of the announcement the speech due from colors demand in the parliament on tuesday evening in which it is thought possible anyway that he may declare independence from spain and the consequences of that well nobody can quite be sure but amongst them would be that state institutions like this court would change hands pretty quickly which is why the president of this court asked the supreme court to approve the presence here of national police standing alongside the squadron that's the catalonians own police force in ant

john hall is our correspondent in barcelona jonah good afternoon what are the chances here that they will just say we are now independent. well i mean you know that's the question everybody would like an answer to peter it becomes a very difficult one even to speculate about because goodness knows what's in the minds of those process session is leaders in the regional government here in catalonia particular when they look at the size of the crowds that have turned out here today will be it ok many people have come in from other parts of spain but the majority are catalonians the talk is of well certainly hundreds of thousands perhaps five five or six hundred thousand people and they of course believe that they are the silent majority that their voices have not been heard their opinions not accounted for that there is an atmosphere of hostility towards those who disagree with the idea of independence but they believe they do have the numbers they are in fact the majority and a referendum polls tend to bear that out so the big message here on saturday and sunday rather from this crowd

where we have correspondents covering both sides of the story jonah hill is live for us in barcelona but first let's go over to the spanish capital madrid where lawrence is standing by and basically lawrence the spanish prime minister reiterating that impromptu press conference that he needed clarity from the catalonia leadership so we have a very high stakes game of political pingpong going on. yeah that's exactly right and he's due to address the spanish parliament in the next hour but i can't see any reason why he'd say anything different from what you said sue for the benefit the world's media are on today because they are playing things entirely by the legal book having said last night that they regarded the actions of the president in signing this piece of paper as effectively being a declaration of independence the line today is marginally difference but they're saying in formal legal terms you need to reply to us and say confirm that you are seeking independence and once you do that legally we have the right to withdraw your autonomous powers under article one five five of th

is outside the spanish parliament in madrid now and so as jonah was saying there a shift in tone from carla as him or he is now calling for mediation but how does madrid feel about that. if the catalans thought that by speaking in this way and by thinking that they were extending the hand of friendship to madrid for negotiations in the hope that they could perhaps get the government to madrid through to to coax them or to bounce them in some level into altering their position and negotiating politically with them i think the all the early signs are that they were completely wrong. jose garcia who is the international affairs secretary for the ruling people's party has agreed to give a statement not an interview to al-jazeera here his position on. yes there can be no negotiations without the constitution and catalonia today's not independent what we've seen today. chapter two or reality. are installed we saw a referendum we had all we soldiers are involved so that there were no. their constitutional court rule out that referendum to have any validity we saw their generation and indepen

jonah take that away? alabama where our dear friend the president of the senate for the moment sits, 26% they get an average break of $5900. kansas, 25% get a break, i'm saying these numbers because our friends, the heart rate was just wants to lower their own taxes is telling everybody this is just in four states, massachusetts, new york, california, new jersey. no. it's across america. let's keep going, i am having a good time, hope you all are. oklahoma, 24%, $8000 break i think this is mississippi, 23% of $6300 break. louisiana, 23%, close to one honest four, texas, the great state of texas where our majority whip comes from, 23%, close to one out of four texans get a $7000.800 break. indiana 23% get a break. florida, 22% get a $7300 break. wyoming, would affect wyoming, it's a rural state. 22% get a $6300 break the state that is least effective is still very affected. south dakota only and seven west virginia only 17% of the people get a $9000 break in west virginia the $6000 break in north dakota. no

how following developments for us from that jonah. thank you it's been quite a remarkable day really here in barcelona in catalonia historian a little earlier on in the day told us that likely not since the late nineteenth century is there been such an openly show of support on the streets for the unity of space since then of course calls for independence of grown steadily slowly read to get crescendo last weekend but does all of catalonia really want to secede from the rest of spain do its leaders even speak for a decisive majority of them when they talk of unilaterally declaring independence possibly in the week to come while on the evidence of the march of the rally that we've seen here on sunday the answer to that question is no. barcelona has seen plenty of huge demonstrations but not like this one see red and yellow the conference and you know flying alongside the spanish national flag. ripped off calls for independence this is a highly unusual show of national unity. some have come from other parts of spain but most from catalo

week after catalonia secession vote the referendum has plunged spain into political crisis and is jonah hollow reports both sides are only hardening their positions. barcelona has seen plenty of huge demonstrations but not like this one will see red light yellow the confluence and young lions alongside the spanish national flag region gripped by calls for independence this is a highly unusual show of national unity. some have come from other parts of spain but most are from catalonia itself tony rolled down his accomplice and politician opposed to independence we have me proud the best to be here the first very young these. last forty years in the city because he was when it was over and we have money is to build the framework that works for everyone i think that the future belongs to you know i just think that we need to do better from the national brain which will govern ourselves in the world the politician doesn't make sense well but they call themselves the silent majority was their son or representative has the right choices don't feel good about silent noble and so on if they. ha

leaders in the slow moving talks jonah how reports. to resume a new in advance there'd be no major breakthrough fellow e.u. leaders made clear that insufficient progress had been made to move talked beyond the current deadlocked difficulties over money and to begin talking about future trade she instead issued what sounded like an appeal for help by a politically weakened prime minister who's come as far as she can and desperately needs something in return if we are going to take a step forward together it must be on the basis of joint effort and endeavor we must work together to get to an outcome that we can stand behind that works for all people what she got in return wasn't much there were encouraging words from some e.u. leaders including the all important angle or merkel. as we have made progress and it is perhaps the nature of the thing that we look at it step by step i have absolutely no doubt that if we are all focused and the speech in florence was a contribution that we can get a good result and there was an end of summit com
