9-Jan-19 TV News in 100 Seconds: 'Father of internet wins Catalan prize'

Vinton Cerf, one of the fathers of the internet, has won the 30th Catalonia International Prize. The Catalan government, awarding the prize, praised his contribution in making internet open for everyone. Cerf is also responsible for accepting the domain 'DOT CAT' for Catalan-language speaking websites, as the jury recognizes. Meanwhile, the Spanish government will take its budget to Congress in Madrid on Monday. The pro-independence parties’ support is essential to get it passed. But the Catalan president, Quim Torra, insists they won't back the spending plan unless Madrid makes a move towards self-determination. / ACN
