early morning trying to get into the Polling Stations across the region in fact i was at a Polling Station not too far from where i am and Central Barcelona and there were long queues of people i spoke to one man and he was there for an hour and a half and he said he probably take another hour at least or an hour and a half to get inside to cast his ballot and i was in the Late Afternoon then weve seen across the region that the police have tried to close a lot of the Polling Stations so some people didnt manage to go because the way they changed the law essentially they allowed people to basically they didnt have to go to their local Polling Station they could go anywhere and vote so any place that any Polling Station that was open and you were resident in catalonia you could go and vote there so thats what happened today for a lot of people that they just moved around and made sure that their day they have a chance to cast their ballot clearly things are very tense there its a controversial no tell us Briefly Problem why this is so contested the first place.

At the National Police what do you see really that they are they did act and they
were very much. Part of this sort of these images that weve seen of people being taken out of Polling Stations and a lot of the violence that weve seen in fact the Regional Government has already put the cigarette i would around Seven Hundred Fifty people being caught up in the clashes or of being involved in the violence that have been injured so theres a lot of theres a lot of criticism not just here in catalonia but across spain and in particular from the opposition who have said its about time that dialogue was opened and theres a lot at stake thanks for bringing us up to date thats pablo foley l.

This final crisis also that he had several identities that he did not explain what he meant by several ive done but certainly that would have meant that he had various papers he had not known him but they were found and that would mean that obviously there was an organization that helps. Organize the. Analyser weve been seeing attacks like this in france becoming increasingly common over the last weeks and months how much concern is there amongst everyday people about being out in Public Places like a Train Station. It if you look statistically there have been attacks but if you
look at the district where you realize that just crossing the street it just became more dangerous but people are angry people are also angry there have been questions above is there is this a Terror Attack it of course is a Terrorist Act who perpetrated it and whether they were organized is another question but theres a feeling that to some extent of the authorities trying to to make this ground than it really is so there is a Political Risk now for the government and also we are entering a week in which comment is going to fall to the bill that will change some dispositions of the State Of Emergency into particular and there has been objections in some in some respect i will say that this helps but certainly if you dont reject it you fight you are left with a position in parliament if.

When the
see the ravens standing during the National Anthem so i was surprised but then i asked a couple of fans here and they told me that its going was not only about today it was about its last sunday when the players decided to kneel during the anthem and that was the sort of sending a message that the fans dont many of them of these stones won their players their ravens to kneel during the National Anthem and that we have to say that weve been told that some seeds in the stadium were left. As a sign of protest and the people told me that the situation in the stadium was quite tense today all right so some fans are staying home and some bands are verbalizing their failings why is this such a big deal its just a song right. Yes i told so many fans here and most of them told me some of them veterans that they think that it should be about
sports not about politics and they want the players to do what all americans are supposed to do what the National Anthem is played to stand and their hands over their hearts and respect that flag always of course told me that they think its right for the players to protest but the point is when we look to what happens today most n. F. L. Players still doing the National Anthem and only a number of them decided to continue to needle or to raise their fists in practice so it seems like president s trump and many of the fans have some success in their rejection of the players trotters but we have to say that the controversy is from far from over and thats the underlying problem a feeling of Racial Injustice among many africanamerican.
