The Catalan President says Catalonia has won the right to independence

The Catalan President, Carles Puigdemont has said the people of Catalonia have won the right to be an independent country from Spain.
We speak to Alfred Bosch, Barcelona City Council Republican Left leader. Also in the programme, we find out about the latest forecasts for the global economy from the International Monetary Fund. We have a report from the US-Mexico border in Texas on how Donald Trump's immigration policies are affecting illegal border crossings. What would you buy if you had a million dollars to spare? Rare musical instruments are now the hottest variety of so-called passion investments. So what is it about old instruments that's striking a chord with the well-heeled? The BBC's Mike Johnson finds out. Plus, as the German meal kit delivery company HelloFresh announces plans for a stock market listing, we consider the growing popularity of meal kit businesses with Nick Carroll from market research company Mintel.
