Of kennedy. Thousands of files are released. But many more are kept secret. Welcome to world news today. Spains Prime Minister has announced that he is sacking catalonias regional government, including president ca rles government, including president Carles Puigdemont. And dissolving its parliament. Mariano rajoy was speaking after the Catalan Parliament unilaterally declared independence. Rajoy said that elections would be held in december. The senate in madrid earlier approved plans for parliament to be dissolved. Lets take you live to barcelona where people are waving flags outside the Regional Parliament building. The independence vote triggered jubilation there but it clearly continues. However, the situation has caused alarm across europe. European president Jean Claude Juncker says it is important to avoid any splits and fractures in the eu bloc. We begin our coverage with this report from james reynolds. For centuries, catalonia has been part of the kingdom of spain. This afternoon, after years of growing crisis, those who seek a state of their own took their chance. In barcelona, Catalan Independence was declared. Cheering and applause. Some campaigners here have worked for decades for an independent catalonia and they believe this is now their moment and that they should be free from spain. This independent state, such as it is, has no control of its supposed borders and no single country has come forward to recognise it. But to these demonstrators, the declaration feels real. Translation we are finally free. We are oppressed here. We are fighting for our freedom. Finally catalonia will be a free country. But you know that madrid has the power to stop all this. It has the constitutional power. No, madrid has nothing. We have the reason, we are the people. I am thinking about my parents and my grandparents and also about my children and my grandchildren. Butjust around the corner, we found a man waving a spanish flag, and anti independence emotions. Translation i am not happy. I am not represented. The catalan people as a whole did not vote. Translation it is disastrous, the result of an extended manipulation that does not reflect the will of the catalan people. Earlier, in catalonias Regional Parliament, pro and anti independence groups argued bitterly about the declaration. The opposition speaks for around half the population here which does not want to leave spain. But in parliament, it was outnumbered. Some walked out. Those on the other side unfurled catalan flags to mark their territory. Si, si. The si, the yes vote, came out ahead. Translation citizens of catalonia, in the coming days we must keep the momentum going. We must remain peaceful, civilised and dignified. The Central Government in spain will not let the independence declaration stand. To spain it is a simple matter of obeying the law. The senate will give the Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy Emergency Powers to take control of catalonia. Translation we are not prepared to allow some people to liquidate our constitution and rules that have served our country for the last a0 years. Singing. Tonight, catalan leaders stand on land they now claim as their own. But they and their opponents in madrid are now both in unknown territory. James reynolds, bbc news, barcelona. Mariano rajoy emerged from a crisis meeting of the Spanish Government in the last few minutes to announce the sacking of the regional government. This is what he had to say. Translation i have dissolved parliament and there will be elections in december for the autonomous territory. They had a chance to return to legality and call elections. It is what the majority of catalonia has four. They didnt want to do it so the government of spain takes measures necessary necessary to recover legality and also has decided to call elections in catalonia. We believe it is very important to return their voice to catalan citizens, all of them, and to democratic conditions so that they may decide their future and so nobody can commit further illegalities in their name. Mariano rajoy speaking just over an hour ago. There are signs that the Spanish Government is ready to impose direct rule. These pictures came ina impose direct rule. These pictures came in a little earlier. It shows a ship carrying Spanish Police which has dogged in barcelona. Its thought they could assume docked. On october one they tried to prevent the referendum using force and plastic bullets. Here is what the president of the European Council donnas tusk tweeted in reaction to events. Donald tusk. Our europe editor is in barcelona. She gave her views on how the latest views will be unsettling eu leaders. It is extremely unsettling for the people here who are living to separate realities. There are those who believe they are living in an independent catalan republic and those who are against independence who are waiting for the Spanish Government to return what they see as normality to the region. Spaniards right across the country are worried. It is notjust the basques who are worried by this situation. Eu leaders are watching this very carefully because issues of nationalism, separatism and economic effects are relevant to every single economic leader. To 1500 businesses have taken away their legal headquarters out of catalonia. That economic unrest is having a knock on effect on Growth Prospects for spain which has just clawed its way out of a double dip recession. Its the fourth largest economy in the eurozone. Thats why weve heard from the eu economic chief on what is happening here. Historians, journalists and conspiracy theorists have been poring over thousands of newly declassified files relating to president john f. Kennedy. But president john f. Kennedy. But President Trump has decided to keep hundreds of other so file secret for the moment at least on the request of security agencies. President kennedy was shot dead in november 1963 as each other through dallas in an open top car. A day that shocked america and the world, and became the holy grail for conspiracy theorists. Newsreel president kennedy has been assassinated. The official version of events is that the gunman, lee harvey oswald, acted alone. Newsreel after the shots were fired, he happened to look up at about the fifth or sixth floor of the texas book depository. He said he saw the rifle being pulled back in. But more than half a century on, polls show most Americans Still dont believe that to be true. Were the cia involved . The russians, the cubans or the mafia 7 analysts are now poring over almost 3,000 government documents released from the national archive. There is nothing really of a bombshell there than understanding that bureaucrats in 1960 operated probably much like bureaucrats do today. There is some fuel, though, for the conspiracy theorists, and even a british angle. An fbi memo tells of how a local newspaper in cambridge received an anonymous phone call 25 minutes before the assassination, warning to expect some big news out of america. And what of the some would say convenient murder of lee harvey oswald, shot by nightclub ownerjack ruby . The new documents reveal the fbi had warned Dallas Police about Death Threats towards oswald. In Downtown Dallas today, a whole industry has been built around the mystery surrounding president kennedys death. President trump, who indulged some of the conspiracy theories himself, in the end decided to hold back some of the most sensitive files, at least for now. And whether theyre eventually released or not, the speculation over one of the defining events of the 20th century is unlikely to end. Jon donnison, bbc news. Until easy and police have started questioning the owner of a firework factory that exploded in the capital. Dozens were wounded in the blast in the Industrial Zone just west of ja ka rta. Blast in the Industrial Zone just west of jakarta. Us defence secretary james mattis has visited the demilitarisation between north and south korea and says that the us is seeking a diplomatic solution to ease tensions on the peninsular. General matters who is visiting south korea criticised the young yangs pursuit of Nuclear Weapons and their testing of recent months. President trumps promised to build a great ball with his frontier on mexico has stepped closer to reality with eight prototypes in Southern California but the project still faces huge challenges. Democrats will fight to stop the wall being built and even some republicans say the barrier wont work and they will vote against funding it. James cook reports. These eight prototypes for a while, minus the solar panels that donald trump said might powder wall. Scientists insist that the designs are innovative. We are using creativity and ingenuity to come up with new creative designs. Ive been a Border Patrol agent for 32 years and where we put up tactical infrastructure we have seen a decline in arrests. Now that the prototypes are finished, they are going to leave them for 30 days to set and then they are going to test them. For one to two months, they will try to smash through them, climb over them and tunnel underneath. Mexican cartels have been doing that for years. This smuggle was designed to smuggle vast quantities of drugs to california. No war is going to quench americas voracious thirst for not context. Narcotics. As you can see, this tunnel is reasonably spacious. There isa tunnel is reasonably spacious. There is a reasonable amount of room. In this sector of the border alone, they find a couple of tunnels of this size every year. This one has now been sealed off but somewhere below, the borrowing continues. We talk about sophisticated tunnels, involving rail systems, lighting, ventilation. How big an operation is this and how lucrative . Between one and 2 million for construction. Its very expensive to build but the amount of product that comes through can offset those expenses. For Many Americans securing this border is about economic nationalism and for many mexicans desperate for a better life in the united states, it is a challenge. Translation its a very ugly wall and even if they build it, the immigrant will keep crossing to the immigrant will keep crossing to the other side. They are causing more death. People will look formal places that for more places that more dangerous. The promise of the wall propelled donald to power but he is nowhere near persuading congress to fund the barrier.
