And germany has qualified for the twenty thousand world cup but that wont stop some of the young guns from using their countrys final game against azerbaijan to show their coach why they deserve to go to russia next summer. Hello and welcome im michel henery good to have you with us a massive rally is underway and barcelona against plans by catalan leaders to declare independence this comes after a referendum was held in the region last week which the Central Government has called illegal and a Television Interview spanish Prime Minister mariano who warned he wont rule out suspending catalonia as regional autonomy to stop separatists from splitting from madrid. Like lovers motivated you have to look we have to return to legality and go back to normal thats with the affirmation as early as possible that there will be no unilateral declaration of independence spain will continue to be spain and it will continue to be spain for a long time its part of us to give him the spine yeah you know. To be a correspondent your cannot test isnt barcelona covering spains deep best political crisis in decades york theres a huge demonstration against independence happening right now tell us whats going on there. I just moved out of the middle of the demonstrations with this taking place a couple of kilometers from where im standing now and you can see on the streets there are still people flooding towards that demonstrations which will take place in the heart of town its its most certainly going to be a lot bigger than the anti independence demonstrations weve seen yesterday in madrid so today barcelona of the heart of catalonia if you want a pact with people who want to avoid a catalonian independence. And as we can see a live shot to barcelona right now of people in the streets waving flags sure do you get a sense that the mood there is changing as a result of yesterdays and todays protests. Ive talked to a lot of people in this demonstration also yesterday at one of the white marches of those people people who are not outright against the new bands but who want a dialogue and my impression pretty much is that this is very much of a reflection off of the how things stand theres a big divide whether in within catalonia or whether there should be any fans or not if you take a look at the latest opinion polls be just before the referendum there is a forty nine majority that does not want independence forty one percent that says we want independence ten percent undecided so clearly few talk to people here today you have a range of opinions everything from throwing the regional leader puts the month into jail to people who say ok lets step back from this crisis have a dialogue find a way out so that things calm down the concern that this could turn into a violent conflict is quite big. Do you think that marianna who is the latest warning will influence the cut on government and stop it from declaring independence. Now the big question here is of course whether the cats in the door can step away from that independence i talked to a political expert who told me you know this is like a roller coaster the steering wheels been thrown out basically things have gone too far even if the catalonian leader would not want to declare independence the pressure from the street is enormous and it is pictures like the ones today where people praised the work of the Spanish Police which where we have seen violent clashes with voters exactly one week ago so it is pictures like this one that will be a massive publication and that will increase the pressure on the catalonian leadership to actually do what the referendum has decided and that is the clear in your plans for catching on here. And he say that there is lots of pressure by saying these crowds of people in the streets turning out for this rally as are the Spanish Government statements also causing deepening divisions in catalonia and making a declaration of dependence more likely. To of course not but you have two sites on the one side the what is perceived here as a as a threat that if independence is to clear the out so to me would be suspended this could lead into conflict that is something that political leaders have understood and something i would say they has a tates to pursue and that is why weve seen these the tentative signals that probably independents will not be declared within the next couple of days on the other hand as ive said the pressure from the street is enormous and the message from ohio is seen as a direct threat and people say we will not back down we have voted for independence and we want to see this through and we want the results they want a declaration basically on tuesday from the local government here.
