Prime minister vowing catalonia will remain part of the country. Also coming up allegations against disgraced Film ProducerHarvey Weinstein widen and now Hillary Clinton says shell be giving contributions from the Longtime Democratic Party donor to charity. Plus our weeklong series on being gay in todays russia we meet a video blogger using his platform to challenge anti gay businesses and doing so with a sense of you. Im brian thomas thanks so much for joining us spain has set the clock ticking for catalonia Prime Minister mario has given the Regional Government until monday to say whether it has in fact the clarity independence from the rest of spain and hes promised to do Everything Possible to prevent the break up even threatening to suspend Catalonia Autonomy and impose direct rule from madrid. Locked in a standoff spains Prime Minister is determined to not give an inch speaking to parliament in madrid Mariano Rajoy again insisted that catalonia his independence referendum was illegal and he rejected office of international mediation. The force but. It is not possible to accept a dialogue to agree on what is expressly forbidden by the constitution to negotiate over the sovereignty that belongs to all spaniards and the unbreakable unity of spain. It was a clear abuse to catalan president pushed him all these calls for talks have repeatedly been rejected madrid has given him five days to drop catalonia his independence. It is really important those people who violated the constitution rectify this. Question not a particular. As catatonia ignores the warning has threatened to impose direct rule many catalan lawmakers reacted with pleas for the escalation thats good anymore especially as the truth is we have two government leaders who have acted very irresponsibly we are asking them to take on the political responsibility and govern for everyone in spain and catalonia we ask that they are responsible and courageous and open the possibility of dialogue. It all means days more uncertainty on the streets of barcelona people are frustrated. Its ridiculous to reach this point because we the people pay for the politicians and its their focus theyve passed problems on to the people when they should have solved them. Even though its impossible to talk with i dont know whats going to happen nobody does. Now the ball is back in catalonia his court and across spain the waiting game continues. Lets get more now from the dreaded and the journalist. Jaime thanks for being with us you know today is Spains National holiday a day dedicated of Course National unity doesnt feel like theres much to celebrate in madrid the service. Well if something has achieved theyve got to learn conflict till far east to aspire to the National Spanish nation out of pride we havent seen so many if funny slam under streets in years so in that sense this nation of the day is somehow heath oracle just as they will to mount doom here is seen as a reaffirmation overspend if you need to and a clear message that despite his integrity as a country will not be broken. Madrid is threatening to suspend total on autonomy and impose direct rule what would that entail what would that actually look like. Well i think that might enter the whole hes obviously determined to apply the article one five five of the constitution but something. Our way through thought in its application to spanish government. Take control of some powers of the got to learn anything but it doesnt have to suspend the outearn of me on the whole that would be a way to avoid an outraged reaction if i got an entity that would spark the fifth party thiel it is so we still need to see exactly what im going to be this steps and what what how many are the horses going to take control of thumb powers of the cattle and institutions you know the two not should spend the whole autonomy as a whole because i think that that that is not that that would be good for four million on the whole right now ok well all of the rhetoric coming out of madrid right now is very strong how much support does roys hardline stance on catalonia have where you are. Well how it has the support of the socialist party and progressive or liberal party if you dont im going to switch it around for a wide out for you my jury duty and define the parliament so in that sense and while youre not one who has a lot of support right now in madrid you know one of the party is more likely to support a high deprecation no article one hundred five but to socially fight they have agreed to a constitutional reform in six months time and that is the offer to theyve got to lend a nationalist parties from the socialist party to renounce to independence and left change to the other the three tauriel organization after spain in return so that would be their thought and application of the one five five. Truth bend or renounce to two independent analysts just start a new process to change the constitution we can the lines of the constitution we still need to feel exactly where what Mariano Rajoy is going to do and whos going to follow. Us for us in madrid thank you so very much now for some of those stories making the news at this hour the libyan coast guard has rescued seventy five migrants including a number of children who were stranded on a rubber boat as they sought to reach italy they were taken to the naval base in libyas capital tripoli and handed over to the International Medical corps the.

And see. My name is said dance im a member of the European Parliament i represent london and im a member of the labor party. So i was elected in thirty forty i believe passionately that britains place is at the heart of you know at the periphery and i thought that it was a case that could be won because frankly i was had to prove that it could be well. Im working towards reversing the decision im working towards convincing majority people in my country but this is the wrong thing to do simple as that because i think staying in the European Union is by far the best thing for britain. You wouldnt trade with the rest of the world directly we trade through the e. U. To the rest of the world can we replicate that outside no no no in thirty forty years maybe two generations but we really saying that were going to let two generations of people just their life chances just just they dont matter.

Very emotional still from the referendum i was feeling very angry at what was happening to my country will only this is my dream job and on one level i could cry myself to sleep thinking about that too much you know when i was. A young boy and i dreamed of. All the things that you were doing being a part of helping to shape that i never ever imagined i would one day be sitting in the parliament this extraordinary experience has just reaffirm my belief in europe and its made me want to fight so much harder for it now than i ever thought i would could so whether we leave or not and i accept we probably are going to leave.

When you tell people youre gay you have to bear in mind what country you live in. New york im a blogger apparently my blog helps some people i want to use it to explain that being gay is normal and its nothing but its an individual choice. That. Im going to. Do that no fact its allowed anywhere in russia. No joke whats up until you go and today im visiting one of get a monster storm theres a sign in the window that says no faggots allowed obviously its but dont want me to go in there but i want to try them theyll come up with like in the middle of course it was a provocation months from the countryside im from the countryside so.

Yeah thats his sign i can take it down but i dont agree with it if i were allowed to i would take the sign down right away. So. That changed everything that was nice and also unusual it ended up being a cool video about totally reasonable people looking for someone of a reasonable to. Get that this is a business came up with an image for himself and i have a simple question from the countryside and thats how he earns his money thats his philosophy with.
