now it is time for our newspaper review. what's making headlines around the world 7 violence at catalonia's independence referendum is making the front page >> the breaking news is too late for most of the papers so let's look at the guardian's front page. leading with the violence at catalonia's independence referendum. the catalan president has condemned police brutality but the spanish pm says the law has prevailed. making headlines in the french paper, le figaro. this headline reads ‘two young women killed by a terrorist at the marseilles train station." the daily telegraph's business section speculates the future of the monarch airline which was placed into administration a few hours ago. it makes it the biggest uk airline to ever cease trading.

online, the washington post says desperation is setting in for puerto rican families that are cut off from civilisation with little food or water following the destruction of hurricane maria. and the tuardian's finance pages tells of a lucrative treasure hunt across the atlantic to recover 2000 tons of gold and precious metals sunk by german u—boats in world war one and two. it's a bounty worth up to £125 billion. which is what? broken $40 billion? —— about $140 billion. so let's begin. with me is dr stephanie hare, principal director at global management consultancy, accenture research. lovely to see you. well, let's go to
5:47 am
the story breaking in the last hour 01’ the story breaking in the last hour orso, the story breaking in the last hour or so, that would be on the front pages tomorrow so instead let's go with the violent scenes in catalonia. for someone who has lived in spain i'm amazed that seems like this. it looks like it is 60 or 80 yea rs this. it looks like it is 60 or 80 years ago. it is an interesting choice by the spanish government because of course from the point of view of madrid, the referendum was legally held and the constitutional court had ruled in favour of madrid saying this isn't legal. therefore catalonia is in fact a sort of renegade, road regional government. but from their youth, this is about democracy. are people who would like to have the choice about whether or not to be independent, 40% of eligible voters came out despite the fa ct we eligible voters came out despite the fact we had scenes of brutality, and 90% of those people voted to leave. to make a broadbrush observation, do you think you could put this in the same basket as they brexit, trump
5:48 am
administration, this idea of populism coming out of the recession, coming out of an economic, really fraught time, people looking around for someone to blame? blaming brexit, blaming europe, blaming the central government in spain. are there any links there? there is a particular about this case and that is catalonia is one of the richest regions of spain. there has been an independence movement there for a really long time. spain itself as a sort of federal system, all of the different regions have devolved government and its very different, i don't think we can make a brexit claim in the same way, although the uk has its own for nations and devolved parliaments as well. the river if this is a —— or if they specificity, not for much about identity, there is a catalan language, a history, the historic
5:49 am
tension with the rest of spain. language, a history, the historic tension with the rest of spainm is identity politics, very similar, linked in with populism, identity politics. but i guess it is about why? is it about being angry that spain is in managing well? that the government and the country is poor? catalonia feels because it is so wealthy it is funding the rest of spain. they are impoverished because of that and potentially counter—productive by the spanish authorities. recent polls suggested the vote wouldn't carry but after all of the violence and pressure, it is swinging the other way. let's move on to le figaro. i have a picture from barcelona as well. at another story which ordinarily wouldn't have made headlines, two people killed, another terrorist attack in marseille, the randomness of this is terrifying. again, front has been in a state of high alert fiow has been in a state of high alert now and the state of emergency for
5:50 am
several years and has endured several years and has endured several attacks of microscale, just a few victims, and some of the bigger ones and we saw two years ago andl bigger ones and we saw two years ago and i think that is what was tricky about this the other day, they were unsure if it was a police or a terrorist mutter. now they say it is. president macron is thinking about lifting the state's emergency level. 0ne doesn't know whether it will take effect now. isn't it interesting that it only gets to paragraphs on the front page of le figaro but doesn't appear in any other papers. lady in the back pages. does that mean we are becoming more... we are becoming more, i suppose, immune to the influence of these things? don't see them as very important any more. influence of these things? don't see them as very important any morelj think it is to casualties which for those individuals and their loved ones, this is a dramatic incident but in the sense of scale and how the media likes to report on things, numbers and more sort of dramatic attacks get bigger press. but make
5:51 am
no bones about it, president macron is talking about lifting the state of emergency but only because he is planning on taking what is meant to be temporary legislation and putting it into permanent law which has been criticised by the un so france on high alert, this isjust media optics. on the business, the telegraph, chaos fears about the uncertainty with monarch, what has gone wrong there? it made a profit in the year to 2016 and i think £27 million and a loss of £220 million after that. is this a problem with the shorthaul market?|j after that. is this a problem with the shorthaul market? i think this is what has taken everyone by surprise, the civil aviation authority themselves with shops this morning and certainly all of the travellers will be, it was a profit warning or anything that gave any indication that there was this sort of problem. it is too soon to say, it will come out in the next few weeks. by terrorism, in north africa, and the middle east, the worries about terrorism hit its
5:52 am
business definitely over the last couple of years i think it in that respect, suffered because of that. 110,000 passengers, the caa, arranging airlines to try to get them home. where are we going now? washington post. puerto rican spencely any help or a way out. —— don't see. it hasn't really been talked about, it has been very quiet and one of these stories which is intensely dramatic and terrible for the people involved but it hasn't truly got a huge amount of coverage. i think what's interesting is how it has revealed how few americans know that puerto rican is part of the usa and both are american citizens who are being affected to when we saw the horror can hardly hitting texas, that galvanised the country, they got aid, the president spoke —— hurricane. the response to puerto rican has been very different. the
5:53 am
president has commented on the indebtedness of the island for instance, and almost try to make it out as though these people who are us citizens are asking for a bit much. this is ridiculous. they don't have water or food or power. in any other part of the us this would be unacceptable. it is one of those fault lines that has been revealed. let's move on to treasure hunts, pirates of the caribbean. this is fantastic! 2000 tons. there is gold in them there... oceans. it is interesting to see who has the right to claim these. where can actually land those...? to claim these. where can actually land those. . . ? this is the property of the british government and it is like out of a movie or a history stories you have the research is from this company who have managed to use archival evidence to find where they think... it took some ten
5:54 am
yea rs, where they think... it took some ten years, didn't it, digging around in the archives trying to find out which broke out how much money. we forget how many of these, not just from world war i and trooper trans atlantic crossings over the planet are our broke all over the oceans that are carrying fortunes. —— boats. and insurance claims dating back to when the boats were lost. thank you in beef or taking us through the editions of the morning papers, stephanie. —— thank you indeed. but in a short hello there. we had some warmer air for a while on sunday, 20.5 degrees in herefordshire. but we're not going to see those sort of temperatures for a while, because there is air coming down as the wind changes direction to a north—westerly. winds a feature of the weather already. they have been strengthening around the base of the deep area of low pressure that is close to scotland.
5:55 am
not only are we seeing the winds picking up, but blowing a whole host of heavy, squally showers, too. wind gusts could be an issue in the morning. possibly some travel disruption, 50 mph gusts around the pennines and perhaps even 60 mph up into scotland. some quite windy weather in the morning in particular. this is probably the peak of the winds across these areas. lots of showers as well. winds easing, showers slowly ease as well. further south, some sunshine before clouding over in the afternoon. we may see some rain in the southwest. here is the picture on monday afternoon. by then, the strongest winds in the far north—east and scotland, a speckling of showers, not as bad as early in the day. drier to the east of the pennines, some gusty winds. more high clouds building in further south. the thickness of the cloud in the south—west, not far from south wales, rain. this really is from ex—hurricane maria, not having a big impact.
5:56 am
mostly scooping out into the english channel. pressure building overnight, skies were clear. as we head into tuesday, north—westerly wind. not as windy as monday. not as many showers. lighter and probably starting to blow in a bit more cloud. temperatures a degree or two lower than on monday. we had high hopes for this area of high pressure, hoping it would build across the uk. getting squished by these more active weather systems racing in from the atlantic. finding high pressure in the south, lower pressure across the north. gusty winds to the east of higher ground. wettest weather over the hills in western scotland. some rain for northern ireland, most of england and wales should be dry with some sunshine. that rain in the north pushing south for a while. heavy rain close to that area of low pressure on the front itself, but then the weather front moves its way south. as it does so, it weakens. the rain gets stretched out and very much lighter in southern areas through the day.
5:57 am
behind it, north—westerly winds, again chilly, but it should be drier the catalonian government says 90% of voters
