talk about the regions of spain let's spain has seventeen regions were very very in degrees of oak ptolemy if one goes perhaps others will want to follow like for instance the basque country which is still scarred by a long and bloody struggle for independence from madrid. will catalonia remain peaceful. people in northern spain are keeping a close eye on the situation but only a minority in the box community are demanding independence. whatever happens in catalonia it'll be good for us we're headed in the same direction we've got to do something. in any case basques do not want to return to the violence that tore the region apart in the late one nine hundred seventy s. . hope it could happen here like it did in catalonia but it could also be worse more radical like it used to be i just don't know. i'm not worried just the opposite in fact people just want to stand up for themselves and win their freedom. catalonia could set an example for similar regions will they send a message to other independent movements in europe. before we go to europe so let's stay in spain because you were talkin

did more >> more each time, more a ptolemy. >> 2005, more or less. they wanted a new one. they had reason to ask for it. spain was a member of the european community so there were things to be discussed like what is the role of madrid? everything? you have to negotiate again. the system of everyone has to negotiate is not very good. the basque country and the province of navarra have special rights. they have a budget right. we want this, too. until you have to talk about it. some people have rights and the others do not read they will ask and say, that is not fair. >> it depends on the circumstances. it is not separation as such. , which is a bad thing, but the circumstance. and thethe szechs slovaks. a former yugoslavia dictatorship which kept these little states, did notcroatia, and give them certain kinds of her. with spain it is different. catalonia has a huge degree of a time in me which is not unprecedented, but a very large. about thent you said , this is whatts catalonia wanted. least point, let's do a referendum and see how many are in favor and against the indep

back to nine hundred seventy seven the dictatorship at a time when there was no freedom and no what ptolemy state is recognized. once article one five five is triggered this spanish government says it will return the rule of law to catalonia and call for regional elections but the divide with catalonia secession voters will only grow wider. madrid there occupy minister says his government won't accept anything other than the cancellation of the kurdish secession referendum result. for talks with iranian leaders both countries have large kurdish populations and oppose any talk of separation iraq's kurdish regional government had offered to phrase it secession baghdad says that doesn't go far enough. following developments from. iraq's prime minister had their all of her out for talks with iranian leaders the main topic of discussion the kurdish referendum so that is calling for a separate state for iraqi kurds living in the north of the country no doubt about he was feeling like he was politically supportive environment here into a very strong message for iraqis back home nothing short of a

they will impose the nuclear option article one five five that would strip this region of its sort ptolemy so what we are now expecting is some kind of response possibly in the form of a letter from colors put them on as was the case on monday that was the first deadline for him to initially clarify his position that deadline passed without any clear cut definition of his intentions already it looks as if the similar situation will happen this time around which means that the ball possibly in a few hours time will be back in madrid scored to work out exactly what the next step will be so how serious then will the route repercussions been for catalonia for not complying with madrid's demands. well the consequences and the implications are incredibly serious there is no historic precedent for this here in spain article one five five was very briefly invoked over a dispute with the canary islands but it didn't get very far not even beyond the first stage before things were sorted out then we're into unknown territory in the short but it could mean a host of different things there's a lot of s

of the spanish constitution the central government can indeed suspend the north eastern regions of ptolemy that's seen as a last resort but nonetheless the spanish justice ministers confirmed that they could suspend kathlyn autonomy if catalonia declared its independence next week so there's a lot wakin on we spoke to an international affairs consultant who believes spain could be expelled from the e.u. to. in december going in they would search in step and then they would then they really exclude themselves and membership or if the e.u. would accept such as she duration that is the and for the new. as a as an international organization we can never accept that the e.u. member state uses the army against its own people we should also not forget that the reason and the circumstances that street in spain the game. was among other things to and delete data should such a scenario would be a catastrophe to strain to call it alone you know obviously and. absolutely. the stores attracted a small of us senate intelligence committee says voting in the twenty sixteen presidential election that was n

suspend really year catalonia so ptolemy but just ask for a new election trying to see if there is a real majority and a huge majority under the independent dispositions but the problem for doing that is that the spanish government knows that putting article hundred fifty five into practice would probably give them more and more support and more vaults for independent these parties and the spanish government think probably that they need a bit more time in order to have more chances to explain to the catalan people we chart positions of the spanish government the spanish parties and that's why they probably think that it's not a good idea to have immediate elections after putting into practice article one kind of fifty five so what are they going to add words for a very short are they going to do that what are they going to do. well we don't know really but probably they are trying to gain some time to time in order to. to have better options or better offers for cattle and people in order to having cattle and autonomy suspended for some longer time let's say five months six months a
