Hopping. Around. Fighting for the for its catastrophic really catastrophic they dont know what theyre doing theyre irresponsible a long time before they hire you i think theres going to be counted ammonium. Theres a busy week ahead and we hope things wont get bad. We are having today the council on parliament approved something that in the opinion of a large majority of people not only goes against the law but is a criminal act not really the. Plus big brother is watching you what they still Surveillance Technology means for you a story coming up one day but first it was a day of drama in spain bomb makers and the cattle on a Regional Parliament voted to unilaterally declare independence but spain isnt about to let that region go without a fight the spanish Prime Minister has sacked the Catalan Government and call a snap election in the region but that hasnt stopped supporters of the Independence Movement from celebrating. Yes to independence that was the news from consular News Parliament it was the moment the separatists have been waiting for and they took to the streets of boston loner in their thousands to celebrate. Was the cause. Its an enormous satisfaction because weve achieved what we thought for. The sake of the independent state of catalonia and the. I never thought it could happen his all thanks to these brave people not knowing that the and they were singing inside parliament as well the Unofficial National anthem the catalonians opposition had already quit the chamber refusing to take potshots at the remaining lawmakers voted by seventy to ten in favor of independence to the citizens of catalonia its up to all of us to maintain the pulse of our country our country to maintain our peace and dignity as we have always done and always will be the. Nature of the spanish cabinet discussed taking over the government of catalonia its parliament is to be dissolved new elections held in december and its leader could face rebellion charges punishable with up to thirty years in jail. Most could either go to a few we never wanted it to come this far and we dont believe it would be good to extend this exceptional status as we always said this is not about suspending catalonians autonomy but about a return to the law and to reason. In the catalan capital barcelona the Independence Celebrations are continuing spains worst political crisis in four decades shows no signs of easing. The catalog might be claiming and a pen especially doesnt seem to have any internet. Support lets take a look now first to brussels the president of the European Council donald tusk tweeted for the e. U. Nothing changes spain remains our only interlocutor i hope the Spanish Government favors force of argument and not argument force theres another tweet from the u. S. State department saying catalonia is an integrity part of spain and the us supports the Spanish Governments constitutional measures to keep spain united here in berlin the German Government said it does not recognize the unilateral declaration of independence by the Regional Parliament oh storys been developing at a breakneck pace throughout the day we want to take a step back now and look at the bigger implications to do that were here both from barcelona and from madrid but well start in barcelona where g. W. Reporter charles pill is on the story for us charlotte good evening just essentially fired all of catalan as lawmakers how is that going down there in barcelona. There are very dubious scenes behind me and i mean thousands here are on the streets outside catalonia is a Government Office and news of some of the developments are mariana i havent seem to dampen spirits here people very much wanting to celebrate as news of independence in fact some people have told me that they want to celebrate now because they simply do not know what is going to happen tomorrow youve got children here on the streets men women dogs wrapped in wraps in fact just to give you a sense of the spirit here with the headlight band playing behind us with announcements every now and then with some updates and just a moment ago they said that is public radio had announced live on ad that they were going to cross live to that Foreign Correspondent for firing to the correspondent in madrid weve also had a fairly spectacular fireworks display just a few moments ago as the big question here though is whats going to happen in the next hour or so because these protests these people who are rallying here starting to move away this is coming to an end and we have had reports of a anti independence protest there by its going to be interesting to see what happens in the next couple of hours there is a real fear is that when the two sides meet there could be thousands of violence here on the streets both. Whole time there in barcelona when i come back to you in just a second i want to go now to madrid where more. On the story for us martin weve got you on the telephone line thanks for joining us how is spain in practical terms planning on implementing direct rule now this is pretty unprecedented in modern spanish history. Well its entirely unprecedented since the current constitution was adopted in one nine hundred seventy eights is a way to cement spend your term to democracy after more than forty years of civil war dictatorship so i mean thats a measure of how seriously the government and the lakers in madrid are taking this crisis in trying to go terms may mean in five laying the groundwork for several weeks and it began really in september were in and it hasnt harmed us cold for the referendum to be held and in response madrid drafted in houses and on thousands of additional civil guards and National Policemen to reinforce. And another thing they did cross was that they took control of the very peacefully incidentally the minister and the local governments in fact all council and Civil Servants were being paid directly from a trip to several weeks ago that situation is going to change and indeed i think you know what the government hoping is that most people who have. Not make waves just because if you talk about. All right thats martin speaking to us from the dread lets go back to charlotte whos on the streets of barcelona charles whats that callen people there expect will happen next and how do you feel about how their leader handled the situation has really brought it to a head. Thats a real fair was going to happen when a major it starts imposing direct rule when for example you start to see arrests potentially as those behind this Independence Movement and also when you see them trying to take control of these government buildings as a real sense here that the people who are behind me are just not going to tolerate that for several days theyve been close on social media for example and from independence leaders saying if and when independence happens and if when direct rule is imposed deeper pads a block these government buildings to make sure that officials from madrid contact control that the people who are here behind me would consider a hero but obviously these people dont represent everybody in council or any of this region the economy emphasize enough is incredibly divided just fifty percent of people according to recent polls who are independents those who are against it are going to be absolutely destroyed the Corporation One has posts about there is one thing no that both sides are do you have in common and nothing to be. Some frustration over the last few days this is been a real emotional roller coaster for both sides so many backwards and forwards twists and turns whether or not we were going to have elections whether or not were going to have a declaration of independence now finally we have an answer and people can just take sort of exactly what it is the common to today all right so its not just spain this divide in catalonia as well martin lets come back to you is there still a way out of this extraordinary situation to defuse tensions and both sides go home happy. I think its a little bit too late for. Obvious lead the opposition the socialists in the puritan im doing didnt hausler were very hopeful and certainly. Well it has a long hollow do. You know where he would have to head up and steal his thunder so to speak to dissolve their own holland call elections. As a third way between declaring independence and implementing direct rule. I mean that sense of that they felt very disappointed. That charlotte just mentioned because since yesterday it. Was actually going to do you have a moment microphone stand set up and then he delayed in this. And said everything will be now that you know the end as the parliament a lot of disappointment then i think what raul is trying to do is to effectively say look. This is only going to last until christmas when the pressure lections its going to be a lightweight intervention and its going to be very short so hopefully afterwards everybody can go live happily ever after oh of course what about occurs at last remains to be seen because obviously it was apparent rest of the groundswell of opinion in the city is going to go away all right a lot of uncertainty right now thats Martin Roberts joining us from the dread and also thank you to charlotte shelf of health a reporter on the street in barcelona. Well more than half a century ago his assassination brought to the world former u. S. President john f. Kennedy was shot and killed as his motorcade drove through the streets of dallas kennedys death has always been surrounded by questions was it the work of one man or was it part of a more sophisticated plot today the u. S. Government has released thousands of classified documents related to the assassination but present all trump aside at the very last minute to delay the release of some files files that historians are most interested in seeing. Dallas november twenty second one thousand nine hundred sixty three president john f. Kennedy was riding in his motorcade in dallas when shots rang out. Lee Harvey Oswald was named a suspect and arrested shortly afterwards the official investigations concluded he acted alone but for decades many have suspected he had accomplices oswald was shot dead only days later and speculation has been rife ever since the files that have just been made public reveal that the f. B. I. Had received an anonymous death threat against oswald President Trump has blocked for the release of other files citing National Security concerns and the need for informants protection researchers are frustrated by this do you think they would have put together something that was intelligible for the public but they did not an eyewitness of the kennedy assassination Whose Research did for years says these files present new enigmas. Releasing this because it will hurt they were particularly. The government has one hundred eighty days to decide whether the rest of the files will be released either way its unclear if the full truth behind the murder of president john f. Kennedy will ever come to light. Of war im joined now on the line from new york by philip bump hes a National Reporter with the post phil thanks for joining us on the day any bombshells in this document trove. They dont really seem to be i mean this is. There hasnt been event in American History thats been poured over as much as we can these estimation so there certainly are things that jumped out to people who really know the details of this well but no there is no to use a bad analogy or there is no smoking gun in the new release. Why this story such a source of fascination both to armchair historians and also to conspiracy theorists well i mean its a heavy duty you outlined all of the ways in which this wasnt on usual event rate and this is really one of the first major media stories in modern america this was an assassination of a president a huge politically important thing that was covered live on top of television the assassination of lee Harvey Oswald was covered live. In front of in front of reporters there all these questions about what happened theres a huge amount of documentation that was developed for it and it seems unlikely the ultimate conclusion that oswald acted alone seemed unlikely to a lot of americans please combine all of those things and youre left with a public that has access to lots of detail information that they can cobble together conspiracy theories from to answer a question that people feel generally hasnt been answered well. How significant is that in your view that the trouble ministration decided to hold back some of the documents. I dont think its terribly significant honestly i mean there are. Its been half a century right and its been a long time and these documents have been there i think it shows a little disarray quite frankly that the cia and f. B. I. And other agencies which wanted to hold on the stuff back hadnt yet been prepared to do so knowing that this was coming we dont know whats in those files course honestly we may never know whats in some of them and so maybe there is a bombshell that the government is hiding which of course and job experience you theory but the you know we its its impossible to say what we lack knowledge of i think its important to that these things may not be relayed to the conies a station there may be other information that they want to withhold about for example plots against fidel castro in cuba or relationship with the soviet union at the time there are lots of reasons the stuff might have been withheld that doesnt actually even the do is convinced a. Story that continues to fascinate the world more than half a century later still a bump from the Washington Post thanks for being with us thank you. Well in China Technology companies are racing to embrace the latest in facial Recognition Software the technology is a revolution or a Security Officials and for shoppers alike the privacy activists are growing increasingly concerned especially as Similar Technology makes its way to europe we send our reporter to find out more. This might look like a Science Fiction movie but its real a glimpse into an orwellian future thats already here. These surveillance cameras in china are tracking and identifying citizens in real time. Its part of the countrys Skynet Program a network of twenty million cameras with high tech capabilities like facial recognition and artificial intelligence. Facial recognition is quickly becoming part of everyday life in china where you can now pay with a smile at some fast food restaurants. But its a different story in europe privacy laws are stricter and citizens are more skeptical of surveillance so Technology Like this could never be used in europe writes think again. Had this train station here in berlin patient recognition cameras are already being tested. The system can pick out the faces of test subjects in the crowd and if the project is approved could be used to locate criminals or terror suspects and even more powerful Surveillance Technology is in the works. Who look familiar this could be the future of Crime Fighting this european developed prototype scans live video for criminal behavior and then automatically sends video clips to authorities it was developed in part with funding from the european commission. If implemented it could be a big step forward for fighting crime. In the wall there is a. Big interest in the sale. There is a need for the use the crime. But many in europe are on come. People with this level of public surveillance hid their faces in protest when facial recognition was unveiled saying the system violated their privacy. And thats would be as if i went up to each person in the train station and demanded that they give me their fingerprints its unspeakable in a democracy and in a constitutional state that mission and theres potential for abuse if used improperly systems could track one segment of the population. China has already been accused of using its Skynet Program to monitor government critics but if used properly computers can actually be less biased than people just get used to it by people that have certain. Behavior and the. Program that they cant you know wave that is that nasty race. Or they dress that you are. Biased as Technology Improves facial recognition will be hard to stop berlin is just one of several european cities with test projects and recently moscow launched a Surveillance System similar to china where being watched and this is something that weve come to accept trading a bit of privacy for more security china is taking that bargain whole new level what kind of bargain are you willing to as. Well as foreign Julian Sanchez now in new york hes a senior fellow at the Cato Institute a libertarian think tank and studies Technology Privacy and Civil Liberties thanks for being with us facial Recognition Technology is getting a lot of buzz lately not just for security but also as we saw in that report for convenience its even part of the i phone Ten Technology to unlock your phone so how much of our privacy are we really sacrificing for convenience. You know as with a lot of technologies t
