Spain has been in turmoil since Catalonia declared independence

Spain has been in turmoil since Catalonia declared independence.

Catalan leader, Carles Puigdemont, signed a declaration of independence, but suspended its implementation to allow negotiations. Madrid has rejected his call for dialogue and international mediation.

Also, India's Supreme Court has ruled that sex between a man and his underage wife is rape, and children are getting fatter across the world - according to the biggest ever global analysis of childhood obesity.
