Im so me so much gonna get to have you with us the crisis over cattle on independence has hit a deadlock spains government has rejected calls for talks over what it calls an Illegal Movement and says it wont give in to blackmail officials in catalonia have threatened to announce their split from spain a soon as next week they claim some ninety percent of catalans voted for independence in last weeks referendum. Not everyone in catalonia once independence these demonstrators in the regions capital barcelona are against the independence process which the Spanish Government also rejects is illegal. Criticism of the Movement Following sundays referendum has also come from spains King Philippe in a television address to the nation the king accused separatists of being disloyal a charge which catalonia as leaders dismiss. The kings speech was an endorsement of the policies of Prime Minister roy policies that are catastrophic for catalonia. Madrid has appealed to catalonia as leader to respect spain and its institutions that happens happens mr puts demands message is a journey to nowhere because there is no democracy outside the law there is no clear existence there are no rights outside the law for a long time is to put demand has been living outside the law outside reality and outside sanity for that. Catalonia is leaders are planning to make a formal declaration of independence on monday in barcelona people say they just want the politicians to strike a deal. Im very well aware of the problem we have facing and the solution must be found this is like a divorce theres no coming back you cannot divorce today and get married to morrow. The situation is very tense weve reached the stage where the spanish and Catalan Governments need to ease tensions they need to talk and International Mediation would be perfect. As well attentions only care about their seats they only care about their salaries which we pay with our taxes im watching a train crash a confrontation and i dont like it. For now the deadlock continues the Spanish Government has rejected an offer from the separatists a fresh talks but the catalan leaders insist their independence will become a reality. Lets get more on spains political crisis now with james summaries a lecturer in law at Lancaster University i thank you very much for joining us on our program now the Spanish Government has said over and over this referendum vote is illegal here are they way. Well theyre technically right in the sense that its against the spanish constitution so hundred spanish law yes it is against the law under international Law International or is relatively neutral the catalans have no right to declare their independence but equally theres Nothing Specific to stop them doing so either what really matters is whether spain agrees to kaplan is an attendance which of course is definitely not doing at the moment that that would be the crucial factor is just what legal basis so does the Catalan Government have here if you want your regular independence there unilaterally. Is there really a legal basis what theyre trying to show is that they got the people behind them and this referendum is a bit ambiguous on that point they got ninety percent of the vote but they did so on a forty two percent turnout so its ninety percent of forty two which works out of around thirty eight percent of the total Adult Population so they havent really shown conclusively that they have the people behind them so what the catalans are are central trying to do is is demonstrate mass Popular Support but i think what it what what we see so far is that they have a bout the support of forty percent of the population now they would argue of course of that vote was disrupted the ballot boxes were removed the people were prevented from voting and that is depressed the turnout for the vote and of course maybe some points to that but at the same time its up to them essentially to show that the catalan people are behind them what were seeing now is is in a sense a period of posturing in which both sides try to make themselves as strong as possible to pursue their objectives ok mr summers that just very briefly if you can what can europe do here yes. Well europe will not want to get involved if they can theyll see this as a spanish internal affair and unless the crisis escalates to an extent that they have to intervene they will stay clear of it and this is what we see in the statements for example youre compounded by various come to fishless summers a legal expert from Lancaster University thank you.

The world. Right the way. You did. The serious moment when you. See smart has been a fall in the nobel prize for literature for us i dont see why do you think the academy chose this oscar this year or what have his contributions to literature been she is a fantastic writer i have to say that as a young woman two of his books made a profound impression on me. And theyre very different books they sit in very different worlds a pale view of hills is a japanese middle aged japanese woman living in england and recording nagasaki in the postwar time you know if she was five years old when he moved to britain so his memories of japan had to do with his parents hed hardly ever been back.
