Also, it is 'Diada Nacional De Catalunya' or the National Day of Catalonia, a day long festival celebrating the autonomous region. Part of the celebrations include a rally once again calling for Catalan independence. We'll hear from people who are there.
And around 600 Nigerian citizens are being repatriated from South Africa after a number of attacks on foreigners which some have described as xenophobic. We'll speak to Nigerian's who are returning.
