Meanwhile hundreds of thousands poured onto the streets of barcelona to back independence where is spain headed well go live to barcelona. Also coming up america mourns the victims in las vegas vigils calls to prayer and a search for answers after the worst mass shooting in recent u. S. History. And germany celebrates twenty seven years of reunification but after the recent general election the president warns of new walls are going up inside of peoples minds. Im sorry kelly welcome to the Program Thanks for joining us in a televised address to the nation spains king has harshly criticized catalonia his bid for independence felipe accused catalan leaders of acting irresponsibly and outside of the law and carrying out a referendum on independence last weekend he accused separatist leaders of threatening the stability of spain. And felipe spoke as many thousands of independence supporters demonstrated in barcelona protesting Police Violence during the secession vote. After the violence that marred the referendum comes the response. Outside the offices of spains governing Political Party striking port workers vented their anger over Police Brutality for their part spains government blames catalan leaders for inciting rebellions on the streets is that was that they showed that they were never there to deter people they were there to hit and provoke them after whats happened cattle on people expect everything from them just. Fearing more violence firefighters from the protector of line between the people and the police. Ok the state is inflicting violence on citizens and therefore on us were here to protect people and as a consequence we are also exposed to the threat. If its not even. Across the region landmark shut their doors and solidarity public transport has been running a limited service and highways have been blocked. Yet nothing could stop the masses turning out to be harried. The city streets turned into a sea of defiance. As the day wore on their numbers swelled and so to their calls for outside intervention. And for more on the situation in spain and catalonia lets bring in Stephen Bergen who is a journalist based in barcelona thanks so much for joining us this evening weve just heard that the spanish king made the very unusual step of addressing the nation what stood out to you in that speech and how are catalans likely to react to this. I think the speech was a complete disaster and he made no conciliatory noises whatsoever nothing recognized that there is a political issue that needs to be addressed im sure it would appear as the speech was was written by the government and all told by the king. And sticks by the governments line that you know the referendum was illegal or that its in Constitutional Rights etc etc which is all true but this doesnt last the fact that there is a personal problem in the king is the one person who might have been able to kind of calm the troubled waters a little bit and he hasnt he has actually given the government the green light to carry on with repressing the movement catalonia for independence whether people you know like you dont know and you are in the heart of catalonia me epicenter of that movement can you just walk us through what has been going on in recent days how is the mood and how is it shifted over the past days because i mean for example we saw some violence over the weekend from police well there were there was a very high level of violence from the police in trying to stop the referendum ok it was really an illegal referendum but only by violence was unprecedented in decades. And the effect has been that many people who were not in favor of independence now are it was a part of possibly the most counterproductive thing the government could have done many people i just know anecdotally from people i know whove said well you know i never want to do this but this is the best space can offer well for and thats going to you know lets go go room where. And you know it was. As been quite jovial first of hundreds of thousands of people on the street no police so far. You know it is it has been assured of strength on the part of people and stephen when you when you gauge the support of those who have chosen to vote in favor of going their own way what would you say that that is a least from from your perspective there in barcelona does there seem to be a very strong backing for catalogs going their way because i mean weve heard in the past that this is a really polarizing issue in the region. Well it is a part of the rising issue in all of those of schoenberg roughly forty five percent of people who are in favor of independence and forty four percent vote at about ten percent are going dont care i think the violence on the sure violence on sunday has pushed things in favor of yes but if we were ever to go far in the referendum which is what seventy or eighty percent of people here want then the results might be different we thank you very much for telling us a little bit more about your view there from barcelona stephen burgeon journalist based in barcelona we thank you and here.

Absolutely im standing here where it happened on sunday evening with deborah jane one of the survivors of this mass shooting on sunday evening no youre back here at the scene what comes to your mind here and its still surreal its hard to imagine that this was where all of this this craziness and chaos and massacre took place and i see the places where we got people out and where i hid and it just you know its i cant really put it into words what weve also heard when it happened is there were lots of displays of heroism of people just showing humanity showing solidarity with each other in spite of all the danger is that also what you experienced when i did i i got separated from my friends and so we i ended up sort of in a rush of everyone telling us to run and not stay and so we got into places where we were sort of large groups of people but people were hysterical theyd seen people get shot in the head or the face and were really shook up and yet we were still in danger so everyone was sort of trying to calm people down keeping Families Together they werent pushing no one was like trampling someone over my friends ended up my friends husband is exmilitary and he knew what was going on and he could tell the direction of the gunshots so he got people out and then he and his wife carried people out they took anything they could wheelbarrows carts and set up a staging area because the First Responders were in allowed in because it was still an active shooting scene and so there were people whod been shot bleeding mortal wounds and needed to be taken care of. Well tomorrow President Trump is expected here in las vegas what do you expect from the president here and from his visit well i expect compassion you know for all who have gone through you know the loss of their Family Member i know theres many people still in the hospital in Critical Condition and to have five hundred twenty seven wounded theres a lot of the broken spirits and her people and i believe that he can show that were United States of america were all one and and come together and really show love and compassion still there is a discussion going on not just since sunday but basically for many years know about the issue of gun control and the shooter there had many weapons even semiautomatic automatic weapons. What is your take on that so i i lost my phone in all of the chaos i havent really you know weve been worried more about safety of people and injury. I have heard bits and pieces that what he had were illegal guns i mean he should have had them anyway and i dont know how gun control helps when its illegal i dont know that you need to have an a r to go hunting so i think there should be some changes but certainly bad people break laws and i dont know how we stop the bad people from doing bad things so youre going back to tucson arizona back to home wish you all the best. Back to berlin this discussion on gun control here in america definitely will continue thank you very much carson phenomena standing by there with deborah a survivor of this massacre and we thank you very much to both of you for sharing the very latest there from las vegas. In the meantime u. S. President donald trump has pledged an all out effort to help puerto rico recover from Hurricane Maria he made the comments during a short visit to the battered u. S. Territory some puerto rican say that the trumpet ministration was slow to offer help after the hurricane struck two weeks ago. The former kurdish leader and iraqi president talabani has died at the age of eighty three he took office as a unifying statesman as iraq tried to rebuild following the u. S. Led war to oust Saddam Hussein he held the presidency until two thousand and fourteen but withdrew from political life after suffering a stroke in two thousand and twelve. And European Parliament has voted against moving to the next stage of talks on britain leaving the e. U. Lawmakers in slammed the British Government for failing to make progress on key issues the vote was nonbinding but reflects the mood of the parliament which will have to approve the final deal. German president Frank Walter Steinmeier has warned of new walls as the country marks twenty seven years since reunification he made the comment in a speech during an event commemorating german unity day which saw the countrys leaders gather in the southwestern city of minds the celebrations are being overshadowed though by the nationalist alternative for germany partys strong showing in last months general election indicating that despite the Great Success since reunification there are fresh divisions and concerns. On the twenty seventh anniversary of german unity both leaders and citizens have reason to be cheerful. But smiling selfies with chancellor Angela Merkel hide a serious message though germany may be prosperous and powerful nationalism war and crisis have arrived on its doorstep. You couldnt we cannot detach ourselves from whats going on in the world we must ensure that things improve their global ization takes place in a humane way to start with closer to home germanys president. Says the country is torn and under threat from a new aggressive form of nationalism he says new walls are going up this time in peoples minds. Long behind these walls deep mistrust is going against our democracy and its representatives the socalled establishment which includes everyone who wants to be part of it everyone except the selfproclaimed fighters against the establishment. Thats a reference to the right wing populist party which with its anti refugee rhetoric has barreled into the bundestag. Steinmeyer would like to see an Immigration Law that allows opportunities but lays out limitations as minors. In my view this means not simply wishing away the migration but apart from asylum and europe wide efforts it means defining a system of legal access to germany which regulates and controls migration according to our requirements. The celebrations began with a Church Service that focused on multiculturalism and germanys history of diversity. Present were a doctor whos worked in syria and iraq my nemesis a german muslim and a jewish german. From the altar a message of tolerance and coexistence. On Germanys National unity day the countrys political establishment is gathering strength to face the heated debate that will mark the next chapter of german history. And for more on this german reunification day lets bring in our Political Correspondent charlet Potts I Charlotte welcome to you you know germans really know the significance of this state but for our International Viewers explain to us the weight of it yeah i think its a really important day for all germans but particularly for those who lived in former eastern germany of the g d r. Who grew up there herself the german chancellor she said that its a day of freedom from dictatorship to those who really lived under socialist rule for so long and we have to remember east and west germany was divided for forty years for over forty years and literally separated by a wall for twenty eight years so it wasnt an easy task to bring them together and finally on october twenty seven years ago east germany joined west germany a lot of positive developments since then but of course lots of lots of problems as well lets talk about one of those problems because we heard the german president speaking a little bit more about today he in fact described invisible walls new barriers in peoples minds just how polarized is German Society right now it is definitely polarized its not as polarized as the United States i would say but there is divide and divide between the political left between the political right old and young rural areas and cities but also still between the east and the west and not just economically the east is still behind the west in many ways but the german president was referring to these invisible barriers that are grave of mistrust and anger of some in the east also towards the west and we could see that. In the Election Results just a short while ago in nationally the f. T. The far right newcomers to a German Parliament they scored twelve point six percent but in the east the result was much stronger in one of the states they even came out as the first Strongest Party there so a lot of frustration was mirrored there i think in that election votes that are still running very deep in the east so the first step is perhaps acknowledging that there is a problem and we do see that happening now it comes to walking the walk to dealing with it are there any proposals on the table to do so how how are germanys politicians going to bridge this divide well politicians across the alex the number one topic right now on how to bridge that divide and politicians are proposing we have to debate more we have to listen more thats on the one hand the german president today he was proposing on the issue of migration which is still very divisive and very much discussed in the country he was proposing an Immigration Law which germany hasnt had so far a new way for Legal Immigration into germany and that is going to be a topic of heated debate in the weeks and months to come absolutely that would be a very big first for the country charlotte parts our Political Correspondent thank you so much for telling us a little bit more about it. So mixed political and social success twenty seven years on but how about economically kristoff kober joins us with more on that that is right sara twenty seven years ago west germany and heritage an east German Economy that lay in tatters then chancellor helmut kohl also known as the father of german unification promised that very soon flowering landscapes would appear in the east well to this day differences remain and they are quite steep just take a look at the disposable income with an average per capita income of nine hundred thousand euros the lowest earning regions are still located in the former east of germany areas with a per capita income of twenty one thousand euros tend to be those bordering the former east and in contrast germanys wealthiest regions are all in the former west hamburg the ryan land of area and. Have an average per capita income of twenty three thousand euros or more but there are examples where the country has grown together right here in thuringia we found a company where workers from east and west are reaping the economic rewards of reunification. Around one hundred people work here a proprietary limited in highest off the ring which was once in east germany close to the border with the various in west germany they manufacture technical ceramic components the workforce here was born and bred on both sides of the border she said you know some of us are from the west some from the east but we all get along with each other very well so i think. The factory stands in the middle of what used to be no mans land between the ranger and varia on the death strip between east and west germany. Like everyone around here. Remembers the time when germany was divided only a few meters from the factory theres still a small piece of war as a reminder the citizens of the g. D. R. Were told it was for their protection. They were under special observation here in the border zone then on the nineteenth of november one thousand nine hundred eighty nine everything changed all and noid bar was there when these pictures were taken. From the east people came running towards the still closed and heavily guarded border. Town bands from both sides were also there peacefully and without violence they brought the wall down. There. Was an alley have you because they all rushed over there everyone was in each others arms and then the two music clubs united and played together then we all marched over in the direction of highness doff. Ran from west to east and rare scramble in the g. D. R. It was coming in the opposite direction. No one knew how long the border would stay open they didnt want to go to highness doff and then suddenly find that the border was closed again and they couldnt get home the guards were here with machine guns nobody really knew what was happening and like it was there was always the events of that evening are impossible to forget since then a lot. Happened for underway as campbell and the others here things have gone well in a reunited germany. Even so many young people have moved away highness dorf has just seven hundred inhabitants much fewer than before the war came down theres no butcher no baker and no supermarket it was mainly the older people who stayed. We believe that we were disadvantaged in terms of the tension and in the ceramics business thats not something people are worried about and the employees are happy that theyre paid in line with western wages but theyre aware that the atmosphere is not so rosy everywhere in germany and in. London in the new federal provinces the former Eastern States the unemployment the lack of work lower wages i really think that people have been left behind. Me im fifty phylliss and but the people who work in this factory dont feel like theyve been left behind theyre grabbing their fight with both hands just like they did in one thousand nine hundred nine. Time now for a quick market check up so lets bring in our wall street correspondent yen skordas standing by at the New York Stock Exchange yes investors were eyeing fresh Sales Numbers from the car industry give us the latest. September has been a very good month for the u. S. Car manufacturers especially General Motors and ford increased sales so much more than expected chrysler there was a sales decrease but not as steep as feared to well we had the huge americans here in the United States sold some car owners had to replace their vehicles and also some Car Manufacturers offered bigger discounts that is good for sales but not necessarily for Profit Margins and then also some Foreign Car Companies like for example was a sales increase of a good thirty percent did better than expected so all pretty good months and we will see how sustainable that trend is and keeping all four tires on the road a car maker test last dramatically missed the Production Target for its first car for the mass market how did that go down on wall street. Well investors here on wall street seem to be pretty forgiving at the moment if you look at the expectations tesla was hoping to produce fifteen hundred cars of the model is three in september but overall they only could finish a good two hundred sixty vehicle of the model three but if you look at other models like the x. And the s. Tesla was able to produce a few cars and more as expected men so all over all the stock of tesla also gained here in that use this session and scored in new york thank you free trade got a little less free on tuesday as the European Union a green a agreed upon new rules to guard against excessively cheap chinese imports ending eighteen months of wrangling over trade ties with beijing the e.
