Leaving the parliaments president to announce a clear majority in favor of declaring independence there says the resolution was carried by seventy votes for ten against and two abstentions. The question now how would madrid react Prime MinisterMariano Rajoy asked the senate to give him the right to strip the Catalan Government of its powers. Because they do not follow the law in the process of democracy because they endanger our current existence they divide society they damage the economy and the prosperity of a citizen missile economy are going to start there are a few other. Of the senate voted by a big majority to activate article one five five this allows madrid to take control of cats and finances and policing overruling the Regional Government the Central Government also wants new elections in catalonia for his part the separatist leader collis pushed him all his urging catalans not to give way in the arm wrestling with mccreight. While the outcome of both Parliament Sessions has been described as historic plunging both madrid and barcelona further into uncertainty and we have Team Coverage of these the breaking developments in barcelona Charlotte Charleston hill and covering events from madrid is Martin Roberts good evening to you burch i want to start off with you of course so were just a couple hours later now since that unprecedented a new for a kind of penance declaration inside the parliament the square first the mood outside right now. A lot of i think hes got a bit. Three he was a. Problem and all the things that people love that phrase that coming. Out. So you think. You know right thing like oh. Thank god this. Thing the real. Thing thanks i think. Think think think. Think think think think think think think think think you think people think its just the building thats right im writing to a general joint make sure the right is not in a state when placed there its ok charlotte to have a little bit of difficulty here hearing you because of the crowd behind you and that there are celebrating this decision and martin want to bring you into the conversation i dont know if you caught some of what charlotte was reporting and there is some apprehension that spain might come in there in a couple of hours and arrest the leadership explain to us in practical terms of how is madrid planning on implementing direct role. Well promised and i dont recall you stoop to give details in a few minutes of an emergency Cabinet Meeting thats just been held to officially set wheels in motion what theyre expected to do is to begin by making official dismissed the council on need a telescope to mark his paranoias and also probably be a police chief now as we said the difference between saying something and doing something somewhat were on the other hand the Central Government of the minor groundwork for weeks now theres a chance for thousands upon thousands of additional so guards national who restructure alongside who are going to direct the other thing they think theyre taking control of has a longer. So really they control the streets already and they also have control money now the other thing to cross. It is massive demonstrations trying to prevent lets say a possible rest of the militia going to have to try very dangerous to prevent the countess and. Pendants first one pictures a response one bottle im very very very. Right and you can forget those images charlotte i dont know if you can hear me how is the carolina leadership planning on carrying its plan to break away from spain are you seeing any procedure has been put into place for the next couple of hours or days to come. We have been on the story really direct and i just think this is the place right now is the opportunity for people to celebrate. I. Think its very important to make. You. Think that you are fully everybody here is. Remember the people who didnt even in the referendum make it because they did what we. Did going to take place and opinion polls suggest these people really represent. The people here. This is a very its a region at the moment as we push them and i think the easiest way to see what happens with madrid what the next move is going to be but he really is a man who is probably a number when it comes to his time in charge and perhaps even his freedom. Martin i want to come back to you in madrid have people reacted there where you are to these Extraordinary Events unfolding in. Not to talk i mean just work for a. Place were. Absolutely normal just that you. Can represent your. Own usually one of the. Recent weeks we have seen. You know demonstrations. Right now a charlotte this is been such a high wire act now for some time actually the word is out now that would you describe having been the sense of relief among account lines or is this still an uneasy calm before the strongest part of course the very celebrations happening right behind you. Theres certainly a sense of relief among people who i hear honestly at certain points rather doubt the day didnt look like this was going to happen it didnt look like were going to see what is behind me here that made that much of the yes it looks like mission one might actually not didnt happen that we didnt see that he didnt get a number in scenes from the government imagery that they wouldnt impose direct rule if the whole day the election and now we have this but as i pointed out hours of relief was not shared by people who are in this Independence Movement a lot of people very very nervous about one thing to happen next the good for the economy theres the questions about what effect is that predicted to have a negative impact on the money and people really violent on the street something that weve already seen in barcelona we sort of the time of the referendum on a table and theres a real fear that when the coming. Direct rule in the building to find. The real resistance from these people. Martin this is a charge question are we witnessing the unraveling of spain in its current form is the beginning of the end. Oh well only time will tell. I mean explain to certainly get smaller catalunya doesnt mean that. They will be absent holding out very very clear. Yourself as if they do march the concert. But. You know theyll be outside do you know which again. I mean basically yes trying to get on the other hands. Time well more International Support and of course logistics on sunday the Spanish Government and it could be how long how much of something when the only problem of course is theres a lot of people are going to get caught up in the middle and it will have remembered. The sixty percent i mean also people here are still some are in on the prospect of. A gentle thank you for reminding us of that as well of course thats a whole nother thing that spain and the catalonia will also have to deal with the thank you so much for Martin Roberts reporting from madrid and of course our very own a daily show itself some help covering those unfolding historic unfolding events in barcelona thank you for your continued coverage. Lets get reaction now from brussels where our very own max hoffman is the correspondent hes standing by monitoring at developments there as well first up mikes i want to start off by asking you what youve heard from high ranking officials about these Extraordinary Events unfolding in spain. We called the e. U. Commission our contacts there and asked them if they had anything to add now that independence at least seems to be on the way after the vote of the cattle in parliament but no they dont have anything to add and they didnt have anything to add today at the Media Briefing either thats a briefing that we have every day here they are sticking to their line theyre only talking to one person and one person only and thats the Prime Minister of spain roy but theres one tweet by the Council President that you council dont know and he stuck to that line to said theyre only interlocutor israel hard but then he added a little twist and thats interesting because he did say and i quote here i hope the Spanish Government favors force of argument not argument before so thats a clear message to a holy something that none of those high ranking politicians has done not to crack down with police force no matter what happens in the next days and max in practical terms if catalonia. Successfully are there any consequences when it comes you know can it still be part of the European Union. Thats exactly the point i mean for the European Union and first there are no consequences that would still have twenty eight Member States as of now but one of the Member States would have gotten smaller that is spain but for catalonia the consequences would be much more dramatic it would most likely by all accounts by the accounts of everybody weve talked to not be part of the European Union any longer it would have to reapply for membership until then you have tariffs until then you have border controls and we know how complicated this whole process can be only by looking towards the United Kingdom with their brags it so that would have huge impact on that region. And that max of course there have been those the calls from the catalan leadership for the e. U. To act as an honest broker theyve gone on answered why i mean couldnt you have played a very constructive role in all of this. But its a tried and true method for the you are there is to step in as mediators when the two parties involved cant really talk to each other anymore and that seems to be the point where we are at the moment i mean the Catalan Government in the Spanish Government have huge trouble communicating with each other that has gotten worse there seems to be the impasse but you really cant do anything as long as ra is so the Spanish Government doesnt ask them for help the e. U. Is a system of nation states the e. U. Is the nation state so if the e. U. Institutions lets say the commission would go behind the back of one of those nation states of spain and say listen were just going to talk to catalonia if you want to or not that would be a huge breach of trust it would be a huge problem for the e. U. Institutions and on top of that they wouldnt be in accordance with the rule of law because everybody here brussels agrees that catalonia is not in line with the spanish constitution so if the e. U. Commission lets say did that against the will of the National Government of spain that would cause tremendous problems all right no easy solutions there max hoffman reporting on the spanish breaking news event so thank you so much australias government has lost its one seat parliamentary majority after the countrys top court disqualified the deputy Prime Minister from office for Holding Doors as a ship Barnaby Joyce unknowingly held new zealand citizenship through descent when he was elected last year while he since were now to Second Citizenship i will stand again in a byelection in the senate well until then Prime MinisterMalcolm Turnbull will preside over a minority government and he says it will be business as usual while joyce says he accepts the courts ruling and has vowed to fight on take a listen.
