Spanish Court Blocks Catalan Independence Move

BBC World Service - Newshour, Spanish Court Blocks Catalan Independence Move

Constitutional court suspends Monday's session of the Catalan parliament

Spain's Constitutional Court has ordered the suspension of Monday's session of the regional Catalan parliament, trying to stop its plans to declare unilateral independence from Spain. The court said such a move would be 'a breach of the constitution'. We bring you the latest developments and ask how difficult has it been for Catalans who aren't supporting independence?  

Also in the programme: Germany's answer to James Bond falls foul of the tax authorities, and why Russian soldiers have been banned from posting selfies on social media.
