Weve. Illegally the independents in. For a long time many. In catalonia has been have been in. The fire in the constitution. But that is the law that drug nices. They historical institutions and the government. With their decisions have been born near eighteen. Over it legally illegitimate deeply. The fire power of the state and. A state. Who is represented in catalonia as well. They have broken their constitutional principles of all. A constitutional states.

And in front of the situation of extreme situation a screen grab. That. General interest. This of course and of. Basically based on the constitution as well i want to address all the aspiring spaniards on the particular day qatar lands this qatar and city since two. I want to mention them from many years we have lived in Democratic State and that all first. They did proceed. To defend their rights and they respect without the respect there is no possible.

We want to i want to tell them to be calm im hopeful these are difficult moments but the way with. These situation they are complex times but we. Break through and get ahead because we are proud of being what we are because so are democratic principles are strong and solid and they are because they are based on.

So there you have it that was they a taped address to the nation by spains King Philippe addressing the crisis in catalonia he says the Current Situation in catalonia is very serious he says the castle and leaders have broken the laws of the state showed inadmissible lack of loyalty he also said the irresponsible behavior of cattle and leaders can put at risk spains economic stability he owes spain to remain calm and hopeful and said our democratic principles are strong and solid listening into that with us is aljazeera sorry guy you go shes in barcelona in catalonia for us right now unusual for the king to address the nation in this way and he was pretty firm on what he believes. Absolutely felicity and in fact this is probably the most serious constitutional crisis that the country has seen since the early one nine hundred eighty s. When the kings father on catalyst had to face off another constitutional crisis when there was a an attempt at a coup de ta the king then lost became a symbol of uniting the country thereby facing off that threat this is an altogether different kind of threat in fact it comes as a spain and here in basra they are questioning really how they want to progress their own future but of course this is become also a crisis of brinkmanship the catalans have accused the government in madrid of consistently avoiding any dialogue on how they would like to be able to shape their future or autonomously or even as some of putting it as an independent or you in the session as fashion spain says that so certainly this the government of madrid is saying that this is something which is fundamentally wrong constitutional act and certainly that was the take on the referendum as was seen on on sunday but the problem is is that with the heavy handed use of force that was seen on sunday any kind of momentum that Prime Minister had in terms of the legality of the question of the referendum seem to have sparked an awful lot of anger at the Central Government and got the fact that at this scene of quite heavy handed tactics and attacks on people who were trying to take part in this illegal vote really reminded people many people here of certain repressive tactics people saying that they reminded of right of them of the times of the dark ages of franco. Whereas the governing party seemed to pay no heed to that in fact saying that the police seem to have acted proportionately as was said by the deputy Prime Minister this is. This was certainly not the opinion that was held here and certainly judging by not just the feelings of antipathy to put it mildly but anger towards the the Central Government real anger catalonia has also not traditionally been a region which has necessarily supported the idea of a monarchy they have quite a different culture but of course the king in in spain has see has been seen really as a symbol of unity amongst the different regions the different autonomous regions as well while he has tried to reach out certainly people will be very angry at his message of calling of of of this attack on the constitution as he put it and certainly they would see that message as being contradictory to their own rights whether thats illegal or legal and certainly in the eyes of the Spanish Government a what they attempted to do was most certainly illegal with the latest in barcelona. Now u. S. President donald trump has been touring areas of puerto rico. And meeting victims of the storm his First Official visit comes thirteen days after the u. S. On a territory was devastated some officials in puerto rico including the mayor of the capital have strongly criticized federal relief efforts during a briefing alongside the on ins governor trumbull defended the federal response. Now i hate to tell you puerto rico but youve thrown our budget a little out of whack because weve spent a lot of money and put a rico and thats fine weve saved a lot of lives if you look at the. Every death is a horror but if you look at a real catastrophe like katrina and you look at the tremendous hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of people that died and you look at what happened here with really a storm that was just totally overpowering nobodys ever seen anything like this and what is your what is your death count as of this moment seven. Sixteen people certified sixteen people versus in the thousands. Lets go live now to san juan to speak to al jazeera she had her time say she had not the most diplomatic was being used by the u. S. President given the criticism of him and his government. Right i mean usually politicians heads of state i mean come to disaster zones to give comfort but also to see for themselves what the reality is on the ground what was clear from donald trump statements that is hes already made up his mind this has been going very very well there was a round of selfcongratulatory back slapping from members of his own cabinet and politicians and for the Emergency Responders off that offer he made that statement just that sentiment that everything is going fine that actually maybe this is him such a bad disaster when you compare it to katrina and the total total of so always chiding once again youve said youve cost us a lot of money. Really messed up our budget i mean its difficult to imagine him saying something similar in texas or in florida remember this is a territory where ninety five percent of people have no access to tricity fifty five percent no access to water there are regions which havent even reached by federal officials we dont know how many people have died frankly as a result of maria and the aftermath but donald trump making it very clear that hes completely satisfied with the operations of the will i would imagine and we will be going out to talk to people soon have added to that sense wed already know that the people of puerto rico feel like second class citizens of the United States has actually got to meet the man who was so critical of the trump ministration. Right i mean in some ways we can look at this spot as a sort of tawdry sideline but it isnt it is actually very significant because i lied to this the twitter spat between the mayor of san juan is our understanding of how much input the white house the administration fema and others are taking from those on the ground who are seeing the emergency with their own. With there and we had the white house say with great fire yesterday that the mayor of san juan had been invited to speak to the then we had the mayor this morning saying she had the first she had about that was on twitter she was that when they did shake hands she was one of many people who shook hands after he landed we understand she said to him its not about politics he didnt really reply very much people are really all sorts of things we dont quite sure whether he had a kind of terse response or she was on the end of a long line of people he was shaking hands with but what is really clear is that if youre not saying what donald trump wants to hear hes not necessarily going to listen to us and certainly that was experience of the man herself she was invited in the white house again trumpeted this to take part of the Homeland SecurityConference Call about the problems in puerto rico but she was told she was mostly informed about it by text and once she was on the Conference Call she was told she could not speak she would not be allowed to speak this is the manner of sound one who is out here but she was not out to speak in this department of Homeland SecurityConference Call its adding to those fears that people here as they already were necessarily being listened to him as an unelected bunch of people who are deciding this territories economy right down cutting social services and pensions and schools and so on now the fear is with the reconstruction will be no say for Puerto Ricans in that and long held plans to privatise Services Even further avik people build condos for rich people and more hotels that these will start happening without any real input these are the real fears of people that weve heard from in puerto rico now they just being listened to Shihab Rattansi and so long first thank you. The f. B. I. Is investigating the history of the sixty four year old former accountant who carried out the worst mass shooting in multan u. S. History is still trying to work out why Stephen Paddick opened fire from a hotel room on to a Country Music festival in las vegas at least fifty nine people were killed and more than five hundred others. Were panels has the latest from las vegas. Night stoned and grieving people in las vegas gathered to pray for the victims of sunday nights murderous rampage candlelight vigils were held at city hall and at places of worship we should learn something new and im just trying to spend time together and just get on all in one corner President Donald Trump is due to visit las vegas on wednesday with a message of consolation he declined to label the mass shooting as domestic terrorism and said it wasnt time to talk about stricter gun laws. Trump also declared without citing any evidence that the killer sixty four year old Steven Patrick was mentally unbalanced thank you thank you thank you thank you thank. You by all accounts haddock meticulously planned his deadly killing spree police found twenty three rifles in his hotel room and nineteen more at his home north of las vegas but investigators are still stumped as to his motive i cant get into the mind of a psychopath and many people here are turning their thoughts away from the killer and his motives in towards those who stepped forward as the bullets rained down they praised doctors and nurses whose hard work saved many lives and they praised heroes like Jonathan Smith a thirty year old who saved dozens of people by leading them out of harms way but then was shot in the neck doctors say hell likely carry the bullet in his body for the rest of his life it will take this city a long time to recover but people are ready to begin that process this move far less. What we can do as a city lets join together and Work Together to for the good amid all the shock and pain death and heartbreak people here are finding strength in each other. Las vegas is that you live to los vegas to speak to castor and heidi what more are we learning about the killer. Cities so police and investigators are really stunned as what drove this sixty four year old retired accountant an american with no known affiliations with political groups or religious groups to commit this massacre at this point police are still searching for that motive what we know about Stephen Paddick from his brother is that he was a wealthy retirees who frequently traveled with his girlfriend and who also came to las vegas frequently to gamble that was his major cast time we also know from what police found in Paddocks Hotel room of the man a way to see you know behind me and at his home about ninety minutes north of here was a who had an armory of weapons dozens of rifles and shotguns many that were legally purchased and that is what is causing a lot here many people here to also question whether more could have been done to have that its happening in the city yardy whenever we see Mass Shootings on this scale there is always the talk about reforming and tightening gun laws in the states is there any Movement Towards to get any traction. Unfortunately it is a revolving record we hear the same sort of rhetoric after each mass shooting in the United States and were hearing it again with local politicians the baddest state politicians and on the federal level saying that finally is this going to be the last straw that creates some real gun reform but history has shown that that type of hope has not played out in the past and in fact there is a lot of skepticism several democrats in congress boycotted a moment of silence dedicated to the victims of this Las Vegas Shooting their reasoning this said if they didnt want to support it excuse for inaction Felicity Party in a saying is thank you.

Its a prospect which frightens tony a few days after the paris attacks and twenty Fifteen Police raided his house during the night terrifying him and his young children. I found myself on the floor face down hands tied my children and wife taken to the back and shouted where are the weapons. Placed under house arrest until a court declared his innocence he believes he was targeted for being muslim and belonging to a shooting club. If you shoot for sport and you are a muslim its not acceptable it was before the attacks but now its assumed you are terrorist.
