Catalonia is Regional Government is calling for International Mediation in its bed for independence from spain this after a disputed referendum on sunday was marked by violence as police try to prevent voters from casting their ballots regional leaders say ninety percent of voted for independence but critics say the result is not representative because opponents refused to participate but it has also dismissed the referendum as illegal and invalid. Supporters of cattle and separatism were out in force again today providing a powerful backdrop for the demands of their regional leader. But despite the mood of defiance in barcelona he opened the door to deescalation. A woman i can show you my watch im now recommending is mediation human yes you are and that mediation requires the presence of a third party. Other than this you know but you see that party needs to be international for this to be an effective process this is important to restore the institutional normality which has been disturbed by disproportionate decisions from spain Central Government. Its also important to End Police Violence and the limitation of our liberty and also to create a climate of less tension for such a process of mediation that. Sundays violence was splashed across the morning papers as people caught up with events that could change the makeup of their country some cattle lands are outraged by Police Tactics others expressing reservations about leaving spain. Im of the opinion that this referendum wasnt managed the way it should have been there may have been other ways so that we all would be happier with the results part of us catalans i believe and not happy with the result of the referendum. That. Just. Yesterday was terrible people like me im seventy years old i experienced a dictatorship under franco and this is the same. They see it on the.

Lets get the wider european view from data correspondent barbara vessels and brussels welcome the European Parliament to scald a special catalonia crisis debate why is it involving itself in spains domestic politics. Because of course after the pictures we saw yesterday from barcelona many members of parliament feel that their vote there was too much violence that there was an overreaction by the government in madrid probably the totally wrong reaction and of course we have some left wing left wing parliamentarians who say this was really against democracy and human rights we just heard from the president of the European Council thats 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 lets listen to what spokesman margarita sheenas 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 doesnt have that power it can offer itself as a mediator and it has behind the scenes obviously try to mediate during the last weeks to no avail and there was some handwringing here in brussels about the course of mariano or why because many people thought that he played into the hands of the independent Independence Movement however it cant do much more than say we are concerned we are worried this is not going a good way and you should sort of take a different course Barbara Hazel in brussels thank you now why do we feel awake during the day and sleep at nights when the power needs time to bodies in the clock also kadian rhythms and it turns out sas acadian rhythms are crucial to our well being so much so that the man who discovered the importance of the bodys natural rhythms are being awarded the nobel prize for medicine they are american scientists jeffrey whole michael ross bash and michael gove who will share the award the Nobel Committee said they helped discover how disrupting your sleep with and can have a major impact on your behavior and body function speaking in new york Michael Young described the shock when he found out hed won i really had trouble even getting my shoes on this morning.
