Rally in Barcelona Against Catalan Independence
A week after the referendum a pro-unity rally sees large crowds protest Catalan secession
The Catalan parliament is due to discuss whether to declare independence this week, in spite of Spain's Constitutional Court ruling the referendum illegal and the government warning today that it won't allow any unilateral declaration to take effect. We bring you the latest on a huge pro-unity rally in Barcelona and a look at the impact of the ongoing independence debate on people's relationships with families, friends and colleagues.
Also on the programme: closing the loophole which allows some men in the Middle East to get away with rape, and how do Cubans remember Che Guevera, 50 years after his death?
