Prosecutors in Madrid prepare to file criminal charges against Catalonia's leaders.

British Prime Minister Theresa May plans to tackle sexual harassment in the UK Houses of Parliament. We speak to Sarah Rutherford who explains how male-dominated power structures in the workplace mean men are often ignorant as to what counts as harassment against women. And we find out why power shortages in Puerto Rico are unlikely to be resolved soon after storm Maria.
