Of. A reference to the right wing populist i d who with their anti refugee rhetoric have barreled into the bin to stack steinmeyer is for an Immigration Law that allows opportunities but knows its limitations.

Want to tell you now about some of the other stories that were covering for you right now. U. S. President donald trump has arrived in puerto rico to assess the damage and Recovery Efforts out of the island was hit by Hurricane Maria the island has been struggling with shortages of clean water food and power outage while some Puerto Ricans have complained that the trumpet ministration has been slow to help this u.

Lawmakers in stroudsburg slammed the British Government for failing to make progress on key issues the vote was nonbinding but reflects the mood of the parliament which will have to approve the final brics a deal. And all this while there is a tense standoff in spain days after more than two million caloundra voted in favor of independence separatists have been blocking roads and going on strike in protest against Police Violence during sundays independence referendum spains interior minister accuses the callon government of court inciting rebellion. Parts of barcelona at a standstill today. Of those meanwhile pulsating to the rhythms of separatism. The demonstrations angry at times. And then defiantly still. These barcelona firemen holding up their arms in silent protest at sundays Police Violence. Support for the strike wasnt universal but enthusiasm for independence appears to be spreading. Feel like deserves the independence we have a different culture we have a different language and i support it but im not sure what will happen these days because its a scary situation we dont know what the Spanish Government is capable of and we well youre seeing oktober the first how that went. With public transport in barcelona providing only a limited service there were mixed reactions from people trying to get to work. Yes on the one side its a hassle to get to work in the middle of a strike. Is i thought he was suffering this because a few have decided to behave in an improper way. On the other hand i understand the circumstances surrounding the strike. Its those circumstances that offending political passions and fostering coals for outside intervention. While lower tensions escalating in a growing uncertainty on how to move forward lets get the latest now from barcelona. Is on the ground good to see a funny whats it like in barcelona right now set the scene for us. Some of the demonstrations are basically wrapping up in fact theres one here behind me right in front of the office of the president of catalonia president. This is a demonstration in favor of independence of course here people are calling on the president of catalonia as well as on the mayor of barcelona the office is just across here the other for the house office in front of me theyre calling on them to make sure that they keep the pressure up on that is on the Central Government that they really declare independence which has not happened yet now as we have just heard and seen in the report before most protests today quite peaceful remain peaceful however when ever you see the Spanish Police the National Police crossing the street or trying to make sure that suv things are protected shops are protected except you hear chance that these are occupants they should leave they should go back to madrid of course people are referring to what happened on sunday to the violence to the violent crackdown of the referendum so even though most things are peaceful there are tensions and read a question is if this is going to be sort of like a Tipping Point in the atmosphere that could lead to violence again lets talk a little bit more about that because during your time there in barcelona youve spoken to callahans share with us what theyve been telling you do you get the sense that they unanimously back their regions push for independence. But you can also see when you look at the at the results of the referendum most people did not even go to cast their ballot of course the ones who did around forty two percent say yes to independence about the majority of catalonia did not go to cast their ballot because they say they do want to vote and maybe participate in a referendum if in the future but the one that is backed by spain so you really hear different and mixed voices a lot of young people are supporting independence many of them what others are saying im taking to the streets to simply condemn violence without any a political reference to made so yes they are united when it comes to the question was divide justified most of them say no it was not but they are split themselves over the question but it catalonia should be independent so a very complex picture emerges there funny cameron leaders want to see an International Mediation take place specifically what they want is the e. U. To broker a potential secession talks how likely is that to happen. Well at this point and even though the European Parliament is putting this topic on their agenda today already theyve method to more theyre going to talk about the issue as well most of people from europe most politicians on that have expressed their concern say this is still a domestic issue and it needs to be booked out between mother and barcelona said theyre really asking for dialogue here i do not see any sign yet of meditation have or these may change regarding what happens next regarding how the standoff between barcelona and mother it continues and the question and thats where we will see either mediation take place by a third party which could be brussels could be another third party as well a lot of unknowns at this point a lot of unknowns and a lot of uncertainty if any fish are reporting from barcelona thank you.
