From brussels also coming up. For drug program. Where. Police release dramatic body camera footage of the Las Vegas Massacre investigators say the gunman was methodical and meticulous our correspondent is in las vegas with the latest. In the biggest data breach in history thats as ya would miss all three billion of its users were affected by a hack in two thousand and thirteen. Im sumi so misconduct good to have you with us spains King Philippe has harshly criticized catalonia as bad for independence in a televised address he accused catalan leaders of acting outside the law and carrying out a referendum on independence last weekend now despite that catalonia as leader told the b. B. C. The region would declare independence and quote a matter of days his threat comes after thousands of Pro Independence supporters demonstrated in barcelona protesting Police Violence during the session a vote. Im impassioned voices some seven hundred thousand strong a powerful message that cut alonso are united against Police Brutality and what they see as the flagrant suppression of catalonian sovereignty by the madrid government weighing in on the fray spains King Philippe voiced support for the states actions urging authorities to defend the Constitutional Order against what he says are illegal calls for independence by the catalano Regional Government. Decisions have systematically violated the legally and legitimately approved rules and demonstrated an unacceptable disloyalty towards the powers of the state. Precisely a state those authorities in catalonia represent. Missing from his address to the nation any mention of the brutal crackdown by federal police on trying to cast their votes on sunday and a mission that didnt go unnoticed by protesters. He ignores the images of Police Violence seen around the World Without any violence or provocation from the people. Of course the Spanish Government and especially the king defend the unity of spain. It seems hes not interested in the opinion of two or three million people. So were afraid that Police Violence will escalate were waiting for some help from their european institutions so far the response from either leaders has been muted but residents in one barcelona neighborhood are amplifying their message to brussels that this crisis isnt just down for spain but affects the entire European Union. We have our correspondents on the ground covering this story for us funny for charice been tracking the latest developments in barcelona and max hoffman is in strasburg where the European Parliament is discussing spains political crisis good to see you both a funny lets start with you colonias Regional Government meeting this morning what more can you tell us. Radical a problem and in fact still convenes and theyre trying to decide or trying to answer the question not whether theyre going to declare independence but when they are going to be clear in the pendants and a split from spain what im hearing is that the main policies of the government are asking the catalonian government to declare independence on a monday if thats going to be the final decision it will not know probably for even tonight at nine p. M. When the president of the government of the catalonia government is going to issue a statement or originally he was supposed to issue this statement at noon so there is some sort of a has it in steer and probably that has to do with the fact that the government is also waiting for some reactions from brussels as the European Parliament convenes there to you and put that issue of the Independence Movement on their agenda max lets come to you as funny said this is on the agenda there today where you are on strasburg and we have heard a catalan Prime Minister praised him or hes accused the e. U. Of being indifferent to whats happening whats the response to that there. From the perspective here in strasbourg where the European Parliament is we cant confirm any kind of indifference on the contrary some very emotional scenes also. Involving spanish parliamentarians and also spanish officials one even cried today when recounting what was happening in his country and of course we have the debate that was that was scheduled for today at fifteen hundred so indifference would be the wrong word but of course its true that the e. U. Institutions especially the e. U. Commission really hasnt done anything there would be some scenario is thinkable what they could do for example acting sort of as a mediator but other than that its quite hard for the e. U. As a whole to act here because the legal situation is quite clear you have an e. U. Member state acting within the Legal Framework thats what spain is doing on top of that Prime Minister most likely told his colleagues and the e. U. Commission to stay out of it so from the perspective from strasburg and brussels were dealing with it you member state spain and not you member state catalonia. You mention those calls for the e. U. To mediate it is brussels are ready to step in is that going to be decided there today. Thats not what the parliament itself could decide what were expecting though is a whole range of opinions being expressed reflecting the whole debate and of course the two big moderate parties have already said that they intend to call for mediation not necessarily mediation from the e. U. Institutions but to have the two parties get back to the negotiating table everybody condemns Police Violence although of course the more conservative party say listen what we have here is a state trying to uphold the rule of law and if we criticize that if we are not on board with that as the European Union then the e. U. Has a huge problem the farther left you go within the spectrum of the parties the more they condemn Police Violence funny lets come back to you know we heard max say there that the e. U. Wants to get both sides of the parliament back to the negotiating negotiating table is it too late for that you said yourself that the government has said it would declare independence a by monday is there really no going back well thats a good question i mean everything is possible in politics i would say as long as the channels of discussion of dialogue are open we havent seen much of that in the theme of that aid and barcelona in fact none of that so far the president here of the Regional Government pushed him out is very very much determined to push ahead with independence now really the question is as i say what else is going to happen today what kind of reactions and possible discussions come out of the European Parliament what is the Central Government in madrid going to say we already heard the spanish king making a statement yesterday delivering a speech said theyre different how do you say different political discussions right now today that may lead or not lead to that final question to the asked or the question will there be a declaration of independence next week next week at all or not. All right our correspondents are funny for char reporting from barcelona from strasbourg thank you both very much.

I mean so much to me your know. Donald trump has rejected claims his governments response has been too slow and he suggested Hurricane Maria wasnt as bad as previous storms. But what i would like 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. Met a few selected storm survivors and officials during his visit but he is fleeting it barely registers with residents like roberto cologne all he managed to see was a quick glimpse of air force one as it flew his destroyed harmed trumps a visit doesnt change much for people in puerto rico many here say they feel like second class citizens abandoned by washington. Still to come on the program the biggest data breach in history yahoo admits a two thousand and thirteen hack affected all three billion of its users. And the Nobel Prize Assembly has Just Announced the winner of this years prestigious chemistry award will tell you exactly who won and why. Now european regulators continue to a tighten the screws on u. S. Tech companies that are queues of tax avoidance card thats right so many e. U. Antitrust regulator moderator for starters take an island to task referring it to the blocks highest court on wednesday for failing to collect a massive thirteen billion euros in back taxes from apple the commission had ordered ireland to do that one years ago the Commission Also ordered amazon to pay two hundred fifty Million Euros in back taxes to luxemburg the start of the small western european country have granted the Online Shopping giant an illegal tax break meaning almost three quarters of its profits have gone on taxed now germanys dax blue chip index shot up with morning trading to its highest level ever so lets go straight into the action cross over to the Frankfurt Stock Exchange where my usually unusually excited calm he only balances standing by we are still below thirteen thousand points i gather but another record nonetheless what has caused this surge. Yeah i think the instigator was the records all around the dax not generally in europe but if you look at the United States the dow the then the nasdaq the s. And p. Five hundred and the m. S. C. I. World which is a picture of the leading shares around the world all with record highs and fundamentally the situation is such here in germany that the companies are also earning good money and traders say where else to put money with zero Interest Rates and with other Asset Classes like real estate for example already seeming in many places a little bit overpriced is these days buoyancy in the market is not sustainable. And thats a good question some people say yes theres room for the dax to actually jump over the thirteen thousand point level the dax didnt reach that this morning instead steam is basically gone out of the market at the moment but yes they say its sustainable because of the fundamentally good corporate earnings situation and because of solid economic numbers as well that that are blowing this development here but there are people who are saying look out the market has gone up and up and up theres never really been a real breather except for moments and some shares in wall street seem overheated theres the Real Estate Market and of course are also political risks out there that could also have to be taken into consideration from germany lets lets go back further south in europe the situation in catalonia makes itself felt across markets now as it. Thats right theres a statement out by the catalonians that theres going to be a statement by the government today and that put it down for here thats seen as part of the reason for profit taking after that record was reached and you know theres a statement by the spanish economics minister quinn does who says that your money is safe with cattle and banks and i think thats a warning signal to people the ibex madrid shares are going down thats a warning signal because whenever someone says your money is safe with the bank then customers and investors say why are they saying that there must be reason to doubt the safety. Well about in frankfurt thank you meanwhile theres a more evidence of a fundamental rethink in the Automotive Industry as fold says it is planning to reduce spending on internal combustion engines by one and invest in electric cars instead that comes on top of four point five billion dollars investment in the electric car sector announced earlier by ford the companys c. E. O. Jim hackett says it is also completely retooling its operations to slash material costs by ten billion dollars and engineering cost finally half that in a bid to get leaner and prepare for more people in the global motor. It looks like all those electric cars could eventually be running on Sustainable Energy because green
