Its very difficult to say right now lauren and that is because were right into unchartered legal and constitutional territory this is the first time that the Constitutional Court sprains Constitutional Court has stepped in to try and stop a parliamentary session in any of spains seventeen autonomous regions we havent heard any statement yet from the leaders of the capital and parliament if however their past actions are anything to go by remember that the referendum itself was ruled illegal by the Constitutional Court and by the Spanish Government and the capital thora he is nevertheless pushed ahead regardless saying that they were making now effectively their own rule so on that level one would expect perhaps the capital in parliament to go ahead with that monday session in which its widely expected that they will approve the results of sundays referendum and even the soonest monday could make this declaration of independence from spain which is why the Central Government and the Constitutional Court want to take strict measures now if they do press ahead and carry on with that parliamentary session the Constitutional Court in its ruling today which effectively is an injunction has warned that the parliamentarians could be running into or could Face Criminal Charges if they disobey this ruling from the Constitutional Court also we understand that the Spanish Government could dispatch Police Forces to try and stop Parliament Even opening laurent and in the meantime spanish business is moving out of catalonia tell us about that. Well even cattle and businesses a looking possibly to move out of catalonia because of the instability that this political crisis is causing yesterday the benchmark ibex thirty five index dropped close to three percent today you however its recovered much much of those losses its certainly a very volatile situation for investors right now two of the main banks here in catalonia in fact Major Players at a National Spanish level the bank of sad day and also the bank have both said that they are considering moving outside catalonia i just talked before coming on air to one of the spokesman from the bank and he said that banks principal object because right now is to guarantee stability for clients for investors and for the workers themselves thats why they could be considering a move we also know in other sectors in the biogenetic sick to remember that the barcelona region has become a point of attraction for High Tech Companies and so talking to a biogenetic company they say theyve already taken that decision they are going to move to madrid so that they and their shareholders can avoid this volatility others could follow suit remember that catalonia makes up one fifth of the entire spanish economy that is why this issue is so important both at a political and an economic level one indeed can hold on those fast moving developments in boston and thank you very much well much of the focus from the catalan secession referendum has been on barcelona there are claims in smaller villages of a campaign of intimidation by far right activists people in the countryside say car tires have been slashed and windows broken since sundays vote from the village of veges learned the reports.

He needs his car for work so no work there is actually i did i feel that. If the far right did this then wed be surprised they never did it before but we all suspect is the National Police or people close to them.

I lauren so Police Officers say they found a cache of forty seven weapons they were inside hotel room in the mandalay bay resort as well as inside the two homes. In nevada Authorities Say the majority of those weapons were purchased legally by patrick within the last year with this purchase spree taking off in october of two thousand and sixteen what started that thats still a big question but it appears that that was the beginning of this meticulous planning that the gunman began about a year ago adding to that what they discovered inside the Mandalay Bay Resort Hotel room were also that many of these weapons were modified by a gun accessory easily and legally purchased in the United States that can convert a semiautomatic weapon into the automatic weapon essentially in all cases for all purposes a machine gun and that is what accounted for the rapid fire we heard during the ten minutes sustained attack at least on sunday evening along with those modifications to the weapons Police Officers also discovered at least three cameras that tatic had placed within his hotel room and in a way outside simply to monitor the approach of Police Officers there were also materials to create explosives found in his car parked at this hotel and perhaps most chillingly as you mentioned now theres evidence that may have rented other High Rise Hotels or condos overlooking other Music Festivals one here in nevada in las vegas that happened just a week ago and also another in chicago why was he doing. That was that practice was that casing out police still have many of those questions left unanswered more and. Go from being saying. Right so mary lou down she is key to this investigation she just arrived from the philippines on tuesday night as she was living with patrick for at least the last year in his chin homes in nevada and according to a statement from mary lou daleys attorney she is fully cooperating with this investigation she came back of her own accord from the philippines and she says she had no idea that her partner Stephen Paddick was planning this attack she called him words very contrary to the perception we have of him at this mass killer she said he was carrying signs and that she had no reason to suspect that any of this was going to happen officers and the f. B. I. Agents of course are still going to ask for more questions thing could she should she have known that inside the home she was sharing with this man that he was stockpiling this arsenal of weapons she says that she was sent away by him a few weeks before the shooting occurred to the philippines where she has family and had no idea that this was going to happen.
