Region of its autonomy while King Philippe says catalonia will remain an essential part of spain as the crisis intensifies it will go to barcelona also coming up the Czech Republic is poised to elect a populist Prime Minister to look at the man theyve dubbed the czech donald trump and ask why the country is so critical of the European Union. And in the bundesliga will look back at shall go climbing in the standings with a win over mayans and forward to dortmund ski matchup with frankfurt in just a couple of hours. Welcome to the program i marry in evanston its good to have you with us. The crisis over catalonia is independence but it is at another crucial juncture today Prime MinisterMariano Rajoy is holding an emergency Cabinet Meeting to pave the way for establishing Central Control in the region now this comes after a Catalan Leader carlist paused a moment refused to abandon his thread to declare a breakaway state. A brief run on catamaran banks a symbolic protest to put pressure on madrid yet some Financial Institutions a so worried theyve moved their headquarters out of catalonia. Spanish king felipe and again he towns of the region and offend the unity of the country explain what you got that. Spain needs to face up to an unacceptable succession attempt on its National Territory euro zone of it which it will resolve using legitimate democratic institutions. Respecting your constitution dearing to the values and principles of the parliamentary democracy in which we have lived for thirty nine years. The king spoke as by signes price for imposition of direct rule Prime MinisterMariano Rajoy is now taking steps to activate article one hundred fifty five of the spanish constitution this would allow the Central Government in madrid to intervene in catalonia and strip the region of some. Of its autonomy. Well earlier i spoke with our correspondent in barcelona barber avail i began by asking her what people there were expecting to come out of the Central Government today and which powers might be removed from the Regional Government. We dont know exactly yet but the Spanish Press expects a soft solution as soft application of the possibilities the article one five five gives the government because madrid might have understood by now that its no use for inflaming emotions here because theyre running high anyway but trying to sort of be a bit more flexible a bit more tricky politically to string out the crisis and buy in this why diffuse it so it could be that just a bit is taking away police maybe finances finances rather certainly and maybe this state broadcaster here the regional broadcaster t. V. Three might have a controller put in because its rather unilaterally done more or less propaganda Pro Independence here for quite a while now so those are the options that are on the table but we have to wait a bit and see what madrid does all right well this article one fifty five that you mention has been called the Nuclear Option is there another option besides triggering article one fifty five are some sort of talks or mediation completely out of the question at this point. Its too late for mediation is such that point has been passed once the Regional Government here behind us is put in his palace has declared independence unilaterally even though he then immediately sort of suspended it however there is a solution is a way out because if we look at the regional newspaper today it says sixty eight percent off catalans want elections now madrid tends to call elections in january but to push them on could if you wanted to defuse the crisis and call for elections from his own side in sort of like undermine the application of one five five says ok folks lets sort of stop all this nonsense lets go to the polls and see what the public really says and have a controlled elections where the figures in the end really stack up and barbara just briefly if you can has the catalonian government indicated what its next move is going to be it has indicated that parliament will move will meet on monday and it will still go ahead was re declaring independence which means that the government is not backing down and they intend to sort of carry this through push it through and sort of play hardball so that is not a good sign but we need to wait a bit what madrid now really does all right barbara vale reporting from barcelona many thanks indeed. Police in the german city of munich have reportedly detained a man who attacked people with a knife in five different locations this morning five people sustained minor Injuries Police urged residents to stay off the streets in the eastern part of the city where the attacks took place the suspect was described as a heavy set male about forty years old with medium blonde hair police said they deployed all available officers to apprehend the man. Now to some of the other stories making news around the world egyptian Authorities Say at least fifty two all soldiers and Police Officers have been killed in clashes with islamist fighters in the bihari a oasis in the countries of Western Desert casualties reportedly occurred during a raid on a suspected militant hideout. Brazilian police have arrested more than ninety people connected to an internet paedophile ring the raids followed a six month investigation involving u. S. Authorities more than a thousand agents took part in the operation which police say is the biggest ever conducted in latin america. Now the second and last day of voting is underway in the Czech Republic parliamentary election boaters looks set to hand power to a populist billionaire andre bobbish and his on a movement the frontrunner has pledged to stamp out corruption boost investment and keep out migrants despite having a lead in the polls it still looks unlikely that a new will secure an outright majority in parliament. And joining me now is you repay hes the director of new york universitys Academic Center in prague thank you so much for joining us now under a bomb it is often called the czech donald trump is this a fair comparison just how much do they have in common. Well they have something some common because they are good billionaires they both came into politics from the outside which promises to do crean the politics before the the situation they are. And i. Would have an indictment gratian agenda and certainly mr publisher would also like if he quits a two to isolate the Czech Republic slightly more and this now from from the outside world but i would say that mr publishes at the same time more similar to. Syria over risk only because when he went into politics he bought said two major dailies in the Czech Republic plus the Radio Station so hes got the. Media machinery behind the suit to promote his interests well what we do know also about andre bobbish is that hes quite critical of the e. U. If he is elected Prime Minister what will this mean for relations with brussels. Well it we dont know at this point because we still publish this businessman is that hes a pretty modest who really assess certain things now during the electoral campaign. To impress his electorate which consists mainly of older less educated people and those people are not happy with the European Union but at the same time hes going to its own interests. Are your structure only public to germany and france arent in alliance u. S. Companies in all of those countries and so it is not in his personal interest to create any kind of deep divide between the Czech Republic and the European Union i personally expect that if you becomes the Prime Minister you would modify the entire european rhetoric and would become much more. Not maybe pro european but certainly a much less combative with regard to the European Union. Well it is clear that voters are dissatisfied with the establishment parties and thats despite the fact that the countrys economy is doing quite well why is that. Well i think that water starts to reacting to a situation thats actually. Brought mr published to politics because he runs in two thousand and thirteen on and on and very strong and by corruption. And indeed so that your politics was really are riddled with corruption there were a lot of corruption scandals and professional parties to some extent discredited themselves but i think that the i was actually him so being. Surrounded by allegations that he might have thought committed fraud was in european money so he had to retool and corruption is still. Our topics but not the strongest in the past year repave the director of new york universitys Academic Center in prague thank you so much for your analysis. Some soccer news now and shall have made a move up to fourth in the bundesliga with a win over mines on friday and grads go finished this attack with a nice light touch getting the best of minds goalkeeper rene ardler the redskins fourth goal of the season gave shelter an early lead in the second her bergdahl and another in front of goal with fast court for shell the big minds to nail. On will be on League Leaders dortmund later today when they visit frankfurt back to back slip ups in the bluntest league and Champions League have dortmund suddenly questioning themselves. Dortmunds lead over abundance league of champions byron has narrowed their performances in the Champions League have been lackluster coach picked up a she leaves its time to reflect this is fifty ft as we know its important as a coach to analyze yourself we analyze our game we analyze our players we analyze ourselves we do that but even if we are winning following last weekends been this league defeat by rb leipzig and the Champions League draw in nicosia in midweek it appears to dutch coachs methods are having some teething problems but the clubs results have been positive overall this season. I know its not easy we have an away game at frankfurt but weve shown this season that on the road were capable of being a strong and dominant team. Buses side will have to be on their guard frankfurt have won their last three home games against dortmund but lost the last time they went head to head in the german cup final last may coach nico covert she is prepared for a tough clash. Expect to see a dormant team that will make its presence felt on the pitch almost show the form we witnessed before their defeat to live with that even against leipzig i saw a good dortmund side. We did before be much of. Dortmund counterpart pay to heads to frankfurt expecting the same. And the Formula One World Championship may be decided tomorrow at the United States grand prix Lewis Hamilton could claim his fourth world title with three races to spare but the best and vettel still has an outside chance overall of overhauling the briton. Its been a blockbusting fight for the biggest title in motor sports but the battle between Lewis Hamilton and Sebastian Vettel could come to an end this weekend in austin texas championship leader hamilton is staying calm. Nothing changed for me when everything was exactly the same as it was going to last right into the second of the season is exactly the same and so mentally for me so. Maybe a change from your perspective for me doesnt vettel and ferrari have given the citys a serious run for their money this year they initially have the speed to compete and looked on cost and three years of these dominance the german lead for much of the season before reliability issues it is car hamilton wood for the last five races and now boasts three hundred six points. The us grown preprint mutations are fairly simple if hamilton wins vettel must finish at least fifth to take the battle to mexico next week anything less than the britain is champion.
