Defence secretary 'deplores' Catalonia violence

Violent scenes with clashes between police and protesters have been condemned by the British defence secretary.

Michael Fallon told Daily Politics presenter Jo Coburn: "I deplore that kind of violence... particularly beating people up who were trying to vote, it's not what you expect in a democracy."

He said the UK respects the Spanish constitution, but added: "I don't think people who are voting should be beaten up."
