and you also recognise, i guess, as spain did in a un covenant from 1976, which spain signed, you recognisedht of people to have self—determination. so if you recognise that right, and you recognize that catalonia is indeed a nation, then i am struggling to understand how you cannot allow the catalonian people an authorized referendum on their right to self—determination. let's once again use the right words. it's secession. first, the spanish constitution doesn't allow for it. it is a sentence of the constitutional court, saying clearly you can ask about secession, but every question you want to put about it has to be done on the framework of a constitutional change. second there is nothing in the international law that gives catalonia the right to with secession. inspite that mr torra saying that every day it's completely false. maybe elsewhere, in ireland for other europeans, the right to secession is realised. and in international law. there is no basis at all for that. second, there's nothing in the international law that gives catalonia the right to secession, in spite that mr torra sa

is it a cce pta ble industry here in spain. to say, once an animal leaves our waters —— borders, wants an animal leaves what we can control, it is ok? i'm not sure ifi would say it is acceptable. i think it is the real world at the moment. and we would obviously prefer to be able to control everything but i think we have to be realistic. so if a cce pta ble think we have to be realistic. so if acceptable means, do we reluctantly accepted, then the answer is yes. —— accepted, then the answer is yes. —— accept it. the south-west of scotla nd accept it. the south-west of scotland is key to all of this. not only is it at the heart of the dairy trade, but it also has the most vital link in the export chain. the port. ferry companies elsewhere in the uk won't carry cars —— calves for fattening the uk won't carry cars —— calves forfattening and the uk won't carry cars —— calves for fattening and slaughter direct to the continent. so the only way to export the dairy calves is to move them via northern ireland and then south. i watched

any reasonable sentient person who looks at spain, comes to spain, eats in spain, drinks in spain, they'rerwise, there's something deeply wrong with you. [ man chuckles ] >> anthony: spain's the sort of place that never really made any sense anyway, and in the very best possible way. [men chanting ] >> anthony: this is a country that gave us the spanish inquisition, also anarchy. this is where devout catholicism mixes with surrealism, modernist cuisine with traditional tapas. christianity and islam traded places, shared space. and the effects and influences of all those things are right here to see. you could almost look back through time and through the mists of history, see the phoenicians marching up, cross the vega. or are those feral hippies? an influx of international hippies, many of whom appear to have set up squats in the caves up the mountain, have made things interesting. if they ask what we're doing, you should say we're staging a moon landing. wherever you are on the ideological spectrum, however, some things are constant it seems -- some stereotypical expectations. it's true,
