So lets go to data of u. S. Customs phenomenon or u. S. Correspondent he is tracking the latest forest in washington d. C. And it looks like oh were having some trouble reaching coston well try to get him back on the line a little bit later in the show with the latest developments from this last vegas story but for now we will move on to some other news but we try to get carson on the line and i will go now then to spain its facing a constitutional crisis after a day of chaos in catalonia the Regional Government there is meeting to discuss taking steps towards independence thats after ninety percent of voters backed breaking away from spain in a referendum but the vote was disrupted by police and dismissed by madrid leaving catalonia and spain itself in disarray. Independence supporters celebrate this as their victory preliminary results are out they show an overwhelming win for an independent catalonia. You girls two million twenty thousand one hundred forty four votes are in favor of the yes. But this means ninety percent of the voters are in favor of independence. Of the over two million catalans have managed to cast their ballots on sunday with or to say only seven point eight percent voted no to independence people across the region are cheering but spain remains firm in rejecting the referendum as unconstitutional and illegal spanish Prime MinisterMariano Rajoy denied it even happened or you know we dont. Always know selfdetermination referendum in catalonia. Today the spanish people saw that the rule of law in spain is strong and valid and that it answers those who try to attack it and it acts within the boundaries of the law against any provocation. People there provoke a few. But the Prime Minister came under criticism as images like these began circulating on sunday tensions escalated as police tried to prevent catalans from casting ballots the authorities smashed their way into polling stations to seize ballot boxes later catalonian authorities declared independence is at hand. But i thought we listen to a of hope and suffering cuts alone as citizens have earned the right to have an independent state in the form of a republic hence my government in the next few days will send the results of todays vote to the Catalan Parliament where the sovereignty of our people lies so that it can action accordance with the law of the referendum. Do you know. All you got afforded them Catalan Independence supporters celebrate a vote that has no official meaning in the rest of spain. Lets go to the spanish capital were journalist Martin Roberts is standing by for us hi martin we saw dramatic pictures of violence so how have people in spain been reacting. Well id say that widespread shock well into a sixth sense of what to say to save us. Images that you mentioned earlier in circulation or ever well also i think a place of concern were answering them chance to territory because on the one hand you know were both sides say mainly on a collision course with the really wanting to climb down you know on the one hand youve got. Some government saying that theyre going to have to force a declaration of independence and yesterday i think the clear message there are horses and indeed in the speech that you just posted is that he will use all means available so that happened no holds bar. Might you know we heard claims that ninety percent of catalans actually voted before independence how valid is that number where most people even able to cast their ballots. Well the first criticism about were due to the actual turnout were barely more high what it was were Regional Elections were held two years ago. You know the numbers who voted for independence were. Seven percent of the electoral row now course in the Police States close several polling stations so about may have reduced the overall numbers of me of a hands. A last minute ruling to introduce council and what was a people to vote in any polling station whatsoever. Critics say that there was absolutely nothing to stop people from city several times as being no reliable count of something. My niece said neither side is backing down here what will happen now you know what does this where does this leave money on at a high as government. Well hes going to be meeting with. Opposition Party Leaders later today separately. The socialist party who are the number two in the parliament here armisen and we will see those are the ones who have been reluctant late allowing raul into going into marinara city and that was to avoid having to go so down to the elections were going to. Be raising. So one of the things that we apparently is on the table. Because the reader if you dont have a success of this specifically we basically broke something called article one hundred fifty four that would actually allow the government to protect it said directly take over running penciler. And mine are there fears that we could see more violence in the coming days well i think good safe were to apply also to one hundred fifty five im trying to dissolve your council and governments and directly oh its a case. That would obviously civil resistance if rai were to apply apply the same tactics as yes that i said to the police of the civil guards and so i think we could see. Right journalists progress for us a reporting from madrid thank you very much back to our top story now a gunman has killed at least fifty people and injured two hundred more in Las Vegas Police say they have shot dead the suspect a sixty four year old white male are u. S. Correspondent cousin phenomena is it tracking this story for us he joins us on the line across and what is the latest that youve been hearing. Well not much more from what you feel ready reporting really and its still early in the day very Early Morning in the spigots of course the police as youve reported have given you figures about the people who were killed at least fifty they say more than two hundred injured but the police also has clearly said that these preliminary estimates we dont know there were thousands of people at that open air concerts so the numbers could still rise there carsten what about the man that they say was behind this attack what more do we know about him this is a sixty four year old white male weve heard from the area. Yeah and we havent heard much more there were reports in between that also a companion an asian looking woman was also being looked at but we havent heard much about that person of course the first reactions when those reports came in were is another is the miss terrorist attack is another attack that has a racial background but this at least as far as we know so far doesnt seem to be the case the perpetrator who has been killers is a white sixty four year old mayo and many of the people at that concert at a country concert also were. White so we dont really know what is behind this once again we only at the early stages all the investigation but we hope that we get more information as we go into this day nickerson as you said its still early in the day there but you know were talking about at this point what police have confirmed one gunman one attacker that they say that they had shot down any indication how he could have caused such devastation alone. Well if you have an automatic rifle and if youre a good shooter and you have a you know thousands of potential targets that is easily possible if you have enough ammunition and of course the problem here the United States is that a lot of people have weapons and not just shotguns or pistols but they have billets every style weapons all that is legal of course as you know there have been after every shooting all of that kind they have to face here in the United States about stricter controls on especially these kind of assault rifles but the powerful gun lobby and the republicans in congress would have none of that is still early there in washington as well cost and has there been any statements from the government this morning no not really but we are probably expecting a treat from the president on a trump soon but i guess the authorities he also awaiting for more information before they react if he does use the u.
