BBC World Service - BBC OS, Catalonia protests paralyse Barcelona

It is the fifth day of protests amid ongoing fury over jailed Catalan separatist leaders

A fifth day of protests and a general strike have paralysed Barcelona amid ongoing fury over jailed Catalan separatist leaders. Tens of thousands of demonstrators entered the city on Friday, stopping trains and and blocking roads. We hear from the protesters.

Also, we talk to protesters in Lebanon who are demonstrating about the government's handling of an economic crisis.

And we hear an emotional account of one woman's experience of going through three miscarriages.
