You and i did and. I want independence because spain doesnt love us any love our money they want our money so that means they get interested in the middle that may cancel any of situations going too far its unnecessary. Why is not a single coherent reason for them to separate from spain what fool that i could. See of the International Community must be looking on with confusion with mr hall in this to put him on enough of let us sit at a table talk and solve it this is what the people in catalonia and the rest of the country want all activity here is suspended its closed the parliamentarians cant do their work thanks to the us alone a city hall is also out of action. Nobody has a doubt that the government will use all Resources Available to restore as soon as possible the galaxy and constitutional order. Will be the only good but what should happen is what the majority of citizens are waiting for and a photo of the two opposing sides sitting around a table and trying to solve this problem at the end of the bulldust synthesis this is what a majority of people want and this is what the majority of the International Community wants. Us to know. Also on the program the un says almost every woman in egypt has been sexually harassed most cases are never reported tonight an indepth report from a society where sex remains the unspeakable taboo. Cairo a thriving metropolis at times the city seems like a walking contradiction burkas and risque dresses are sold side by side talking about sex is strictly taboo as well youre suddenly married you dont know how you should expect when should you expect what should you do and all of your knowledge comes from a maybe point of view maybe just talks with your friends but not really knowledge. We begin the day on a collision course in spain between National Sovereignty and identity politics tonight the Spanish Government is preparing to take full control of the symbiote taught them is region of catalonia for the First Time EverSpains Parliament on saturday will use article one fifty five of its constitution to prevent the country from breaking up a legal weapon launched into what is very much a Political Economic and emotional fight indeed feelings outnumber facts here the arguments for and against kettle on independence well they havent been heard very much in the last week madrid has done little to hold the country together other than point to the letter of the wall and what about europe well the European Union has been noticeably silent now as a key member of the e. U. Struggles to hold itself together brussels message tonight this is not our fight our coverage begins in barcelona. The game of brinkmanship heats up cattle and put them on at the Regional Parliament for the latest showdown cameras struggle to get a good glimpse of the man who is refusing to back down. In his latest letter to the Spanish Government pushed him on wand that the Catalan Parliament could vote to declare independence if madrid triggers article one fifty five allowing it to suspend catalonia is Regional Government madrids reaction to double down. The government will continue with the processing of article one hundred fifty five of the constitution with a goal to restore the law in catalonia. Spain says it will hold a special Cabinet Meeting on saturday to activate article one fifty five this is never been used in modern spanish history so what does it mean in practice it would allow madrid to sack Regional Office holders dissolve the Regional Parliament and assume control of all regional authorities new elections would be held in catalonia until then madrid could feel key interest positions once the article is triggered it wont come into effect straight away it needs parliamentary approval spanish Prime MinisterMariano Rajoy needs an absolute majority for that and he only has a slim one in barcelona catalan residents are prepared for a standoff. Doesnt love us they only love our money they want our money im not sure if im explaining myself clearly all the things theyve done for catalonia are not really for catalonia they wont let us go because the money is here. Making people more probing dependence but these guys are playing. It. As a political crisis deepens protest as in catalonia have taken to the streets with more demonstrations expected in the coming days well still ahead on the day many young egyptians saying everything they know about sex they learn from. Tonight an indepth report on the urgent need for Sex Education in the society word still considered shameful to talk about what practically everyone. All the standoff in spain is just one of the challenges facing the European Union even if the European Union isnt talking much about staying tonight e. U. Leaders are in brussels tonight for a two day summit topping the agenda are bricks and negotiations which are practically stole the two sides cannot seem to agree on the terms of the separation or british Prime Minister to resign may she called for renewed urgency in moving the brakes in talks along but European Union leaders say britain is simply not providing enough concrete details so that those talks can move. I did use Brussels Bureau chief ok let me ask my producer where are we going now to do the math on me weve made some progress but not enough to start the second phase of negotiations by the funds to begin looking at. How we can tackle the challenges that we all share across europe that means officials continue Corporation Cooperation which must be at the heart of the strong future partnership. All right lets talk about sex and lets imagine where in cairo egypt are the games over cairo is one of the most dangerous places in the world for women in public the u. N. Says it is the worst city for Sexual Harassment against women but the egyptian capital remains one of the most asylum places when it comes to discussing sex and sexuality seven years ago the government removed the sex ed from School Curricula and as a result of that ban many young egyptians are growing up without any guidance on sexual relations Birth Control or how to prevent sexually transmitted disease sex is such a taboo even dating is hidden. Tender touch. Sunset. Just the two of them. Mohammad are in love but even though the young couple is married gazing into each others eyes is the limit to physical contact. At least in public. Oh. It took its head off also from the wolf little guy in front of others were not used at all to face also the common thats you just feel strange us even if your guys are married what where would you do this in public i mean you have your home just act whatever you want at your home. Before they got married last year and mohamed could only see each other in secret. They were afraid boss miss family would find out. Cairo a thriving metropolis at times the city seems like a walking contradiction burkas and risque dresses are sold side by side talking about sex is strictly taboo as well and yet women often find themselves fending off sexual predators. Youre wearing so much revealing clothes and revealing its really that theres some a person to another if you are too loud in the street if you are putting too much makeup when there is an instant of sex would have us men too would find people just pointing fingers about the woman look at houses just look at how she walks look at how she was dealing with them shes asking for it its a problem aha med is all too aware of but one thats difficult to address most people here prefer to just ignore the problem. Mohammad is the head of a private school in egypt such schools are considered progressive but even here Sex Education is not part of the curriculum Public Schools stopped teaching it a long time ago sex they tell the kids is something best kept secret. However to being in an eastern country doing that proactively unstored thing or initiating that from an on biological aspect would be uncomfortable for most of the parents so most of our work thats not biological we do that but we actively more than through. This means kids wont get answers unless they ask but they almost never do that would be embarrassing. But as much as waiting for a taxi to bring her to work she used to take a minibus but the constant harassment from her male passengers was too much after a while. It could start with us and it came about your body or about your look and then with a complete description of the sex what. The sex stuff was definitely related to sex with harassment because i think when people feel pressured about something and when they feel that there is a certain topic that is youre not allowed to express anything about it you start to be really occupied with it. Sexual therapist about khat believes this pent up frustration is making people sick treatment is a luxury reserved only for the well off thats hurting Egyptian Society as a whole she says and young people in particular a bit believes they need clear answers. Its part of our life so. Until when were going to deny it. To when were going to protect our kids if we do the. Protection for their kids until when but hey by is determined to break the taboo shes launched a you tube channel which openly tackles issues such as love relationship and sexuality and first many egyptians were outraged today she is regarded as one of the countrys leading sex experts but the controversy is havent gone away well hey but is considered progressive at home many in the west see her as deeply homophobic because of videos like this where she describes homosexuality as a disease that can and must be treated. In private and mohamed try to speak openly about sex and their relationship but its not always easy. When most young egyptians marry they know very little about either. They learn about sex from porn videos provided by their parents who also dont know how to talk to their kids about sex. And suddenly youre suddenly married you dont know how you should expect when should you expect which would you do and all of your knowledge comes from. Maybe point you maybe just talks with your friends but not really knowledge. Boss my and mohammad have promised each other to do things differently when they have children of their own they want their kids to be curious and ask questions love and sexuality may go back as far as the first humans but for many here in egypt it remains a big mystery. Our own across now our correspondent in barcelona barbara visa shes on the story for us tonight good evening to you barbara i want to begin with what the European Union is saying tonight which is basically nothing damo saying that this is not an issue i mean youve covered many e. U. Conflicts does it surprise you that europe is staying out of this crisis. No not at all because we have to keep in mind that the European Union is a organization thats bayley space in the rule of law and that means the constitutions off the Member States so it really has to respect those its possibly cannot meddle in these cases plus if we look at the practical side apart from the legal side if they would take openly this side of the Spanish Government it would make this the crisis worse if they would decide was the independent east us here and say ok its fine to have a secession in cuts alone you and the state should really take you according cerns into account and they would double in size as the European Union with the new year because then everybody else would want to go the scots the northern italians the variance maybe even so it is not doable theyve better stay out of it yeah independent bavaria can you imagine that all right lets move to saturday and lets look at what is expected to happen and that is suspending catalonia is Regional Government and madrid taking over what does that mean do we know what its going to look like. This there are two options there is a soft option and a hard option the soft option is that madrid just takes over the key elements of Self Government here in catalonia and that would be particularly finance and supposedly police maybe even the regional broadcaster and then they would let leave the rest of the administration to sort of model. Along under their own steam the hard option would be that they really sort of behead politically completely the Regional Government that they send ministre to from madrid and that is just they take over everything including the schools including the whole system and all the other parts of the relative autonomy that catalonia already has so those are the two options and we dont know yet which one the cabinet in madrid will choose they will make up their mind on saturday and then immediately the senate will come together and sort of sanctify the legal side of this so things are moving quickly and settle on leaders they keep saying that they want dialogue with madrid but what are they prepared to talk about short of complete independence. Indeed thats the best question brant because dialogue about ouat dialogue about money thats what people answer you if you ask them here what do you mean the one from madrid what is all this opera or about they said oh theyre cheating us on money theyre taking so much more from rich cuts alone yeah then theyre paying back to us bought really consider normally if a Regional State federal state thinks its get suma to but not enough money from the central coffers then what you do is you go to your capital you complain and say youre treating us unfairly please we need more as so usually these these things are at the negotiate dealt was at the negotiating table but that point has passed now its all about independence and all about independence and as you say a lot of this is a bell money. And we hear time and time again from the kettle on president that he represents the will of the people of catalonia does he represent the majority of the people we know that less than fifty percent voted in that independence referendum. Nobody knows this because weve seen just about ten days ago he a huge demonstration against independence as you know every populist movement will always say we are the people we represent the will of the people the last poll that has any credibility its quite a while ago and it did not show a majority for independence however of course the interference of the government in madrid the ugly scenes we saw on t. V. With the state Police Beating up would be voters for the referendum on october first those really heated up feelings so it may have grown in the the camp of the independent but we still dont know whether they really have majority yeah and we still dont know really what will happen on saturday i mean i guess the anticipation and the concerns the worries are growing by the hour our correspondent barbara vevo on the story for us tonight in barcelona barbara as always thank you very much. Well we want to go now to our Brussels Bureau chief max hoffman he is following that summit for us tonight good evening to you max i want to ask you about catalonia and weve been talking about this crisis in spain and the fact that the European Union is basically saying this is not our problem are you hearing anything other than that tonight. Well so the Prime Minister of spain met with the president of france and i knew in my call for forty five minutes and afterwards we as journalists got a readout of that so you wouldnt expect that that something that readout would have indicated would indicate or indicated that they talked about what was happening in catalonia but no nothing in there and thats the way theyre treating it here more or less the silent treatment of morse some leaders said theyre worried about the situation but all insisted that this is a domestic affair and the only person they were talking to is the Prime Minister of spain no representatives from catalonia ok so mums the word when it comes to spain in catalonia but theres a lot of talk about brecht six and theresa may the Prime Minister of the u. K. She going to get what she wants and she wants to move things forward and to do that quickly. We might have not instant gratification but delayed gratification so it appears that she will get what she wants but not now she wanted it now in october and that was originally the plan to Start Talking about the future relationship between the u. K. And the European Union so mainly talking about a trade agreement but you still considers that not enough progress has been made in this socalled divorce issues so the border between Northern Ireland and ireland the status of you citizens in the u. K. And also the socalled brags it bill how much the u. K. Will have to pay to the e. U. When they leave the European Union and after that the e. U. With the talk about trade now theyre going to employ. And as we understand it the promise or more or less a promise in the conclusions here at the summit that yes they will enter the second phase officially at the next summit in december but still some progress will have to be made on the issues i just talked about and before we let you go max what about migration policy refugee policy that has been the policy that has threatened to break the back of the e. U. If you will. Absolutely and brand this is the example for how do you want to change things because what we effectively have on migration is a deadlock and thats not about to change because Eastern European countries are against relocation of refugees im not going to reset the whole catalogue of problems here but what the Council President wants to do now is accelerating the Decision Making process for those things and if theres no agreement on things just move ahead with the countries that want to move ahead with it and hope that the others will follow so hes released the socalled leaders agenda thats supposed to speed things up where the leaders meet more often at summits all across the European Union and thats something they will talk about on friday and then they will have to figure out if it really does speed things up all right how were Brussels Bureau chief max hoffman at the e. U. Leaders summit tonight in brussels max as always thank you very much. Well the attack on the media has and continues to be part of Donald Trumps political d. N. A. Earlier this month the u. S. President lashed out at the american t. V. Network n. B. C. For its quote partners and distorted news reporting and he called for revoking licenses as punishment now thats punishment for reporting stories that may not be to his liking or free press watchdogs have been on high alert and they were a warm again this week when trumps attorney general Jeff Sessions told to us senator that putting journalists in jail for doing their job is something that he cannot rule well take a listen you commit to not putting reporters in jail for doing their jobs well i dont know that i can make a blanket commitment to that a fact. But i would say this we have not taken any aggressive action. Against the made at this point but we have matters that involve the most Serious National Security issues that put our country at risk and we will utilize the authorities that we have legally and constitutionally if we have to ok we always try to find an alternative way we probably know senator which are directly confronting a media person but thats not total blanket protection and youre right there the u. S. Attorney general saying no blanket protection for journalists. All the day. But as ever the conversation continues online youll find us on twitter either at or you can write directly to me at t. V. And dont forget to use the hash tag the day and remember no matter what happens between now and then tomorrow is another day well see that everybody.
