Factor should face greater scrutiny. And the nobel prize in literature this year going to british writer Kazuo Ishiguro, judges praising the emotionality and depth of his work, including the wellknown novel, remains of the day. Christopher hello, welcome. Im christopher springate. Good to have you with us. The bid for independence for catalonia has hit a roadblock. The court banning parliamentary session that had been scheduled for monday. Regional leaders have signaled they were going to use the session to declare independence from spain. It is unclear what effect the court ruling is going to have. Catalan lawmakers have already defied a previous ruling by holding the authorized that unauthorized independent referendum last sunday. Correspondent the latest twist in a crisis dividing not only. Spain, but also catalonia. A crisis that has seen both sides digging in and refusing to budge. This is the Catalan Parliament, where the regions leaders were expected to declare independence from spain on monday. But Spains Constitutional Court has banned the parliamentary session from going ahead. The catalan president says he is representing the will of its people. Though a majority of the catalan voters did not take part in sundays independence referendum. The Spanish Government says he is acting outside the law, but y trying to enforce an illegal result. Carles puigdemonts message is a journey to nowhere because , there is no democracy outside of the law, there is no coexistence, there are no rights outside the law. For a long time, he has been living outside the law, outside reality, and outside sanity. Correspondent in barcelona, people say they just want the politicians to make a deal. I am very well aware of the problem we are facing and a solution must be found. This is like a divorce. There is no coming back. You cannot divorce today and get married tomorrow. The situation is very tense. We have reached the stage where the spanish and catalan governments need to ease tensions. They need to talk. International mediation would be perfect. Correspondent for now, the deadlock continues. The separatists have called for mediation, but the Spanish Government says it will not enter dialogue until they drop their threat of declaring independence. Christopher now, anna covering the story for us in barcelona. The question now is, what is going to happen on monday . Do we know if the Catalan Parliament will defy the ruling and convene anyway . Correspondent we still do not really know that. Sorry, the Catalan Parliament speaker today said it that she condemned the decision of the court. And that she would not allow censorship to enter parliament. If that means that the session on monday is going to take place, we do not know. But it is very likely that they might decide that way, so if they do then the thing is that they will probably decide for independence and then majored will have to act then madrid will have to act. If they have to act sorry. Christopher sorry to interrupt, it looks like we are heading for confrontation on monday. But there are voices calling for dialogue between madrid and barcelona, the mayor of barcelona calling for that dialogue, the Football Club including the captain calling for dialogue is there any sign of any move toward a dialogue . Anna there are loads of sides calling for dialogue, you are completely right. Some even calling for the European Union to mediate in the conflict and get into it, but right now does not look like it because for any negotiation, one side would have to give in, at least one side would have to make a concession. Right now, no side is really seeming like they are willing to make a concession. Neither madrid or catalonian parliament, or the leader, carles puigdemont. Christopher many thanks, anna. And there is also a new development in catalonia showing how worried the financial world is about the crisis. You have more . Correspondent companies are starting to move out as of the leaders as the catalonian leaders say they will declare independence. When baker said on thursday, they will banker said on thursday, they will move out of the region. This is the fourth biggest bank in the country. Another bank, based in barcelona, set it aside on friday if it will change its legal base. Both banks fear it catalan decoration of independence could see them kicked out of the eurozone and out of the jurisdiction of the European Central bank. Not only is it spanish corporations thinking about this. Correspondent protesters on the streets of catalonia are confident they are doing the right thing for the region. Many think the spanish economy is propped up by catalonia, that they are driving and attracting the foreign investors. There are over 1000 German Companies in spain and catalonia accounts for half of the investors. If the small region becomes a separate country, the investments of 520 German Companies would break away in one swoop. And if it breaks from spain, catalonia would presumably lose status within the eu. Firms already alarmed with one trade association already advising the germans to put their plans on ice. They should abandon their own expansion plans, at least for the next few weeks, to see what happens. It is always advisable to seek out always other locations within the European Union. Correspondent it is clear for the corporations that access to the european Single Market is of utmost importance. That is something the Spanish Government images also has in mind. They announced plans thursday evening to make those plans to move headquarters easier, to put catalonia behind them in a search for stability elsewhere in spain.

Most of the crop was harvested especially early, late frost, summer hailstorms and foggy days all to blame. Wine producers say Climate Change is a growing factor. Climate change and extreme weather means different conditions for individual growing areas. A 20 drop across germany does not mean every producer was down 20 . Correspondent but the three largest one producing areas in the country, each of them saw drops of 20 from the year before. The gains came mostly from the east. Germanys numbers comparable to overall declines across europe. Italy and france reporting much lower grape yields.

He called it totally unexpected. He was not the only one surprised by the selection. Correspondent every time the nobel prize is announced, there is a media circus. This year it is especially big. The jury has selected a superstar author who is not even one of the favorites, the japanese born british author, Kazuo Ishiguro. His style is restrained, simple, and quite discrete. His soft touch contrasts with the high drama of his stories. Correspondent the 63yearold has been writing since the 1980s. His most famous book, the remains of the day was a bestseller. His earlier books explore the japanese experience of the second world war. His characters often isolated from their families, in search for themselves. He is not fighting against the active forgetting. He concerns himself with the idea that men and society must forget to survive. Correspondent Kazuo Ishiguro will receive his prize in stockholm on december 10. Christopher i have to admit i have not read a single novel by Kazuo Ishiguro, but the good news is i have dulcie smart and she has read them all. Dulcie you flatter me. I am a real fan. And two of his books are my favorites of all time. Christopher what should we start with . Dulcie looking at you, i would say the remains of the day. It is his most famous novel and it was made into a magnificent and emma thompson. Christopher i have not seen either. I have to read the book. I have to read the book. Dulcie yes, read the book. It is cold through the eyes of the butler. And in the book, you read his point of view and you the reader understand that he is not telling the whole truth. It is full of selfdeception. And this is one of the things about his work. Is that he can make prose do several things at the same time. So we have an insight that the person speaking does not have. It is all about repression. The butler is working, i do not want to give too much away, but he is working for a lord and he wants to do everything to please him, but the lord turned out to be a nazi. And the housekeeper that he had feelings for, but repressed, turns out to have loved him for all this time. It is about memory and regret. Christopher start with that one. Tell me also, you say you are a fan, so what is it that makes them so special . Dulcie um, as with all great literature, first of all the kind of themes that they deal with. You really have to have something to say about the world and the Nobel Academy likes writers who have something positive to say about the world. I think his message might be that we should seize the day. We should be honest with ourselves. We should not deceive ourselves. We should honor memory. He said that this afternoon in a press conference, that individuals, but also nations and communities should they are often uncomfortable with the past and they cover up the memories. But also he writes a beautiful rights writes beautiful sentences. They are very clear, and at the same time they are full of hidden secrets. He is a mysterious writer. Christopher you talked about nations and of course he has a nation and biography. He is a british writer, but not born in britain. Does that play a role in his writing . Dulcie absolutely. His parents are japanese, he came to england when he was five. He did not go back to japan for 29 years after that, yet he wrote about japan, writing about this other world. But we can listen to him talking about this. Kazuo ishiguro ive always said that throughout my career although i have grown up in this , country and educated in this country, a large part of my way of looking at the world, my artistic approach, is japanese, because i was brought up by my japanese parents, speaking in japanese inside a japanese home. So i think ive always looked at the world partly through my parents eyes, as we all do. So ive always had a part of me that is japanese. Christopher Kazuo Ishiguro, the Nobel Prize Winner there for literature this year. Dulcie smart helping us understand why. Thank you. Dulcie thank you.

He remains a fan favorite. He is the best we can get in the transition. He knows the club and many of the players. And then we will have time to get a coach by the beginning of the summer. I do not think they would have gotten their main choice in the middle of the season. He is a legend. It is a good move. Correspondent the interim coach will remain in charge for the moment.
