Hello and welcome money terry martin good to have you with us spains highest court has banned a parliamentary session in catalonia that had been scheduled for monday regional leaders had signaled they were going to use that session to declare independence from spain but its unclear what effect the course ruling will have cattle on lawmakers have already defied a previous ruling by holding last sundays unauthorized independence referendum. Its the latest twist in a political crisis thats dividing not only spain but also catalonia a crisis that 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 course has now banned their parliamentary session from going ahead the castle president says he is representing the will of his people there were a majority of catalan voters did not take part in sundays independence referendum the Spanish Government says hes acting outside the law by trying to enforce an illegal referendum result that happens happens mr putsch demands messages a journey to nowhere because there is no democracy outside the law there is no clear existence there are no rights outside the law for a long time is to push demand has been living outside the law outside reality and outside sanity. In barcelona people say they just want the politicians to make a deal. Im very well aware of the problem we are facing and a solution must be found this is like a divorce theres no coming back you cannot divorce today and get married to morrow. The situation is very tense weve reached the stage where the spanish and catalan governments need to ease tensions they need to talk and International Mediation would be perfect. For now the deadlock continues the separatists have called for mediation but the Spanish Government says it wont enter dialogue until they drop their threats of declaring independence. Well for more on the independence crisis im joined by our correspondent. And journalist Martin Roberts who is standing by in the spanish capital madrid first to you fanny in barcelona do we know what the Catalan Parliament is planning to do now will it defy that court ruling and convene on monday anyway and it wouldnt be the first time that they would defy a decision by the constitution of course weve seen that play out of course with the referendum and also if you listen to the reactions that we are given here yesterday by the president of the Catalonia Parliament who sad that this decision by the Constitutional Court curtails the freedom of expression here and hes basically sort of like a censorship to the work of the catalonian problem it sounds anything but positive or rather very defiant even though the president of the catalonia problem and did not say whether there were the push across the had the the session be the parliamentary session on monday it very much looks like thats going to happen that have a stick to this road map on monday and even possibly the independents terry march in madrid a very different perspective there of course if the couple on parliament does convene on monday what options does the Spanish Government have. Well the most obvious one which is being resisted out of weeks or even years. Ago. Which would allow the Central Government to actually directly. Because of. That speculated that they might do about to dissolve the council and fresh elections. But youve got to look to see what i. Think the process. That could lead to. Problems on the street you have to then you especially if they transcend. At least go to try to impose tariffs now finally many voices are calling for dialogue between the two sides those voices include the mayor of barcelona and barcelonas world Famous Football Club any sign of that dialogue materializing that is correct also the government here behind me the government of qatar no one is calling for that dialogue not for the first time but only under the conditions that the independence of liberation is not going to be negotiated now under dos conditions i got in madrid is not willing to step in and to have a dialogue because they say thats only possible if got to know and yet returns to the table of law so pretty much theres a deadlock and so fog is no sign that this deadlock is going to be resold why the time is running its friday now and as i say a possible declaration of independence its possible consequences or violence etc is in the arrange could be viewed in the next few days that that declaration of independence on monday is made now when complex get to this point a deadlock often theres mediation martin do you see any signs that the government in madrid could take a more diplomatic approach and consider a path of mediation. Well i think the problem we have here is that neither side has been showing any signs of. Im not as for the madrid governments well yesterday many an overhaul of the prime minister. Rights rule times and the prospects of talks on the unity of state. And again i think the i do see said im not going to. Ignore the constitution im not going to get into the black mail as they say on the other hand dont even have to say so i dont think theyve ruled out any other options you know as hard hitting speech the other nice the king day say that within the framework of the constitution said look we can work this out you know weve been through more difficult things but one of the options being bandied about for years now has been since the tax day you know. Your biggest op does seem to be one of the Biggest Group says that you have is this time situation as they say you know most of the special dont get that although again. We would say well actually we have a lot more. So i mean there is a possibility what ra is that is please dont declare independence of ours in the consequences ok thank you so much with that was Martin Roberts there talking to us from madrid and in barcelona. Thank you both very much u. S. Media reporting that President Donald Trump could soon declare that the Iran Nuclear Deal is not in the u. S. National interest deal saw the easing of sanctions of course against iran in return for curbs on its Nuclear Program white house sources say trump is expected to decertify the Nuclear Deal Soon that would leave the Republican Controlled Congress to decide whether to reimpose sanctions trump has long criticized the pact which was one of the major policy achievements of his predecessor barack obama. International monitors have found that iran is fulfilling its side of the bargain trump however says thats still the case the Iranian Regime supports terrorism and exports violence bloodshed and chaos across the middle east that is why we must put an end to irans continued aggression and Nuclear Ambitions they have not lived up to the spirit of their agreement and. A washington correspondent carolina chinmoy says donald trump is set to deliver a major speech on the ram before october fifteenth thats when they report to congress on the Iran Nuclear Deal is due well the move for to mark the first step in a process that could eventually result in the reception of us sanctions against iran and we are expecting dollars to deliver a speech on the iran deal next week just days before the october fifteenth that line to report to Congress Congress will have to the side then if iran is complying with the agreement and vote on whether or not to impose further sanctions but it is still unclear if even the republican led house would vote in favor of killing the iran deal the fact that the u. S. International Atomic Energy agency has confirmed that iran is still complying with the deal could that maybe encourage the u. S. Congress to vote in favor of maintaining the deal and therefore against trump. Is carlina chinmoy there in washington will staying in the u. S. Members of the Los Vegas Police department have gathered to remember a Police Officer who was one of the People Killed in the mass shooting on sunday charleston heart fields widow and their son and daughter were surrounded by several hundred people during the memorial part field was off duty tending the festival when he lost his life. The shooting left fifty eight people dead and many more wounded now even gun lobbyists in the us are calling for more regulation of a device used by the shooter that allows weapons to fire faster meanwhile investigators are still trying to understand what the shooters motives were police say the las vegas shooter Stephen Paddick rented a room at his Downtown Hotel the ogden during a Music Festival last month called life is beautiful its not clear why he made the booking reasons that ran through patricks mind no but it was directly during the same time his life. We have received recovered. Evidence from that location we dont know if it is evidence but we have recovered items and video it was from another hotel the mandalay bay that patrick fired the shots which killed fifty eight people attending a country Music Festival route ninety one and injured nearly five hundred investigators have recovered a note and several surveillance cameras from the scene they now believe the shooter intended to escape after the massacre and did not initially planned to kill himself police also hope that this woman Mary Lou Danley will be the key to unlocking the motive in a Statement Read by her lawyer to end they denied any knowledge of his sinister plans he never said anything to me or took any action that i was aware of. That i understood in any way to be warning that something horrible like this was going to happen. Investigators say the shooter appears to have led a secret life that he spent decades acquiring weapons and ammunition they described him as disturbed and dangerous near the scene of the worst mass shooting in modern u. S. History those caught up in the aftermath are still left asking how could it have come to this. Lets take a look now at some of the other stories making headlines around the world today in russia at least nineteen people have been killed in a collision between a bus and a train near the city of blood or beer one hundred ninety kilometers east of moscow a statement from the Regional Interior Ministry said all the victims were on board the bus and the head of brazils a limpid committee has been arrested as part of a probe into alleged vote flying to win rubios bid for the two thousand and sixteen olympics seventy five year old carlos are two unknowns bundt is accused of helping to arrange a two Million Dollar bribe to secure the games for the city for northern germany has been hit by a massive storm which left at least seven people dead and forced the cancellation of transport services in many areas winds reaching one hundred eighty Kilometers Per Hour swept across the region causing chaos in their wake. The magnitude of storm c. V. R. Has caught germany off god its winds have lashed the countrys coastline cranes have been toppled and trees uprooted some falling onto vehicles with fetal results. Those lucky enough to walk away from the wreckage were shocked by the sudden onset of the storm. And the water for it was nothing unusual beforehand we were driving along calmly and then my windscreen was suddenly smashed to pieces. In berlin taiko and shauna felt airports temporarily suspended operations on the ground the National Rail system was brought to a standstill. But passengers found traditionally german ways to pass time. So we bought some beer and ice and things will get going again at some point. But it will take more than beer to get things going again at this Industrial Complex in payment where the roof blew off or for those who lost property and lives to the storm. Watching d. W. News still to come the most senior catholic to ever face sex abuse charges and one of the popes top advisers Cardinal George pell edges closer to trial for historical abuse allegations. First though weve got a scandal rocking hollywoods movie business get hot yes you can say that teri movie mogul Harvey Weinstein is taking a leave of absence from his Production Company a report in the New York Times claims he sexually harassed women over decades weinstein is one of the most powerful producers in the u. S. Film industry and is the man behind films like pulp fiction and the English Patient weinstein apologized for his behavior saying it had caused a lot of pain the paper said hed reached settlements with at least aged women among his accusers his film star ashley judd she told the times once you have invited her to what she thought was a business meeting two decades ago instead she says he asked her to massage him and washing take a shower. Right now there are in addition to you and me roughly seven point five billion other people on this planet and the u. N. Estimates theyll be roughly ten billion of us in twenty fifty one of the most important questions facing humanity is this how are we going to feed all those people traditional farming will likely not yield enough so alternatives are needed you know the food and beverage fair and cologne you can taste today what we will eat tomorrow. Theres nothing like the taste of a freshly cooked the furka but mark post wants it without the beef the researcher has been busy for more than a decade developing a method to artificially grow muscle tissue in a lab test tube of beef so to speak then in twenty thirteen came the breakthrough. The stem cells he needs can come from a steak or a cow and the animal doesnt even need to be slaughtered the first burger created from the artificial meat cost around two hundred fifty thousand euros but mark says his idea is on the verge of revolutionizing the way we eat my personal vision is that at some point you know twenty thirty forty years from now we will eat culture no longer for us i will probably look back at this time as sort of barbaric that we still killed animals and used animals to such a degree for our meat consumption. But until then hes got competition there are other future foods on the horizon insects for example are packed with protein and nourishing snack and even if many westerners cant yet to bring themselves to fight between the liquor locust a whole host of looking to convince shoppers otherwise. Other companies are placing their bets on plant based never meant to helping to better use the space that cereals or vegetables need to grow to that end then looking up literally vertical gardening could soon be making a contribution to the diets of people worldwide. Insects and vertical gardening barks one of the inventors of the artificial meat there within the report is joining us now mark possed is a professor for physiology at the university in the netherlands and a cofounder of most certainly the drug company that wants to bring the first lab grown beef burger to the market mark thank you very much for joining us this morning first things first what does it what does it taste like and dont say like chicken. Now it tastes like beef actually. It did the first version was still pretty dry because there was no fat tissue in it but we are now also growing the tissue so the second one should be a lot better. If you actually like it to enjoy beef in general i love it yeah and so do a lot of people thats the problem. So when can we stop killing cows. Well that first hamburger will be on the market in about three years all the companies that are working on this seem to think the center along the same lines that will still be small scale in order to replace the entire industry which is obviously a massive task that will probably take more like decades so currently that this bug would cost two hundred fifty thousand euros thats a bit steep for my taste one can buy one for two years and fifty cents maybe. As i said in three years on the market probably around ten euro for a hamburger so not quite to two fifty in order to get through to fifty or even lower than that the Technology Needs to improve we know where to improve it it just will take another couple of years to get there. It sounds a bit gimmicky at the moment but will it really help feed the well thats the solve the problem in the church and in the world. Yeah the problem with meat or animal proteins in general is that there are very expensive it costs a lot of resources to get there and this Production Method has in it that it can be much more efficient so much more efficient use of resources and then if we try and form to debt we can easily feed ten billion people do you think its adopt this technology is adaptable or is it complicated can it be can factories spring up anywhere in the world. Its not very complicated we actually. Designing a machine to do it at home so it is that easy you can you can transfer it for me to do something that you can do at home and so if you can do that you can do it
