‘outrage‘ by the un. many are children at risk of severe malnutrition after a four—year long siege. england are the under—17 world cup champions — beating spain 5—2 in india, after coming from behind. good evening and welcome to bbc news. the deposed separatist leader of catalonia has called for peaceful opposition to direct rule by the spanish government. carles puigdemont promised to work to build a free country. yesterday, spain's prime minister dissolved the catalan parliament after it declared independence.

in madrid today, several thousand peoplejoined a rally, calling for unity in spain. 0ur correspondent, james reynolds, is in barcelona and sent this report. this is the first full day of direct rule from madrid and no one's yet sure quite what to make of it. catalan organisations have told people here to carry on as normal. right here, it's hard to tell that anything has changed one way or another. local catalan police officers are still guard this, the catalan political headquarters, and separatist leaders who have technically been sacked by madrid are now trying to work out their next move. the catalan leader, carles puigdemont, features on today's front pages, refusing to accept that he has been fired. translation: we do not deviate,

we continue persevering in the only way that can make as winners dash without winners, without insults, in an inclusive way, respecting people, symbols and opinions. many here are worried about what may come next. editorial and pilar during the lottery diggers want a fresh start. translation: elections, elections, elections, he tells me. and over in madrid, demonstrators have came out supporting direct rule. translation: for me, this is great. they should have done it earlier, but they did the right thing. today, i give a ten. i am catalan, i am spanish, and it is a moment when we need to be more united, be more brave and to do something definitive. here in catalonia, the arguments run deeply,

but right now, a single view appears to unite all sides. no one should resort to violence. more now from our correspondent sarah rainsford about the uncertainty over whether the sacked catalan leader, carles puigdemont, would be arrested or not. that kind of language suggests that the governments, whilst it doesn't influence the courts, would expect the courts to take action. lots of? still going forward fate. the spokesman i was talking to

also pointed to the fact that he had been making his latest speech himself, not from his office but from a neutral location. suggesting perhaps that he realised that if you we re perhaps that he realised that if you were to speak from office, he could be prosecuted for another crime, which would be usurping public office because as far as the is concerned, the constitution is now being enforced and he is no longer in office. is there a fear that the regional police will resist governance from madrid? i think there is a very strong hope that they won't. certainly the message we have had so far, the reports we are getting so far, the reports we are getting so far, is that the regional police in catalonia are being urged to follow orders. those orders, of course, would come from madrid or certainly

madrid appointees. it's a big question whether that will be the case. in specific incidents, if they we re case. in specific incidents, if they were to arise, how the police would respond. everyone remembers what happens during the referendum itself. i don't think the government here wants to see every petition of these scenes. 0ne eye after parties books and what might happen, he was very firm that the whole point is enforcing the law. is that there won't be any acts of aggression as far as the spanish police are concerned, but they would respond to many provocations from, within catalonia. i think the general understanding is, the picture is that these are extremely complex, sensitive times. i think we are in a holding pattern ahead of monday, when other civil servants return to work, the ministries are back in operation. theoretically normal practice. to see exactly what direct route will burn the like. i think monday will be a key date with that. sarah raynsford reporting from spain for us. and we'll find out how this story — and many others — are covered

in tomorrow's front pages at 10:30 and 11:30pm this evening in the papers. our guests joining me tonight are the journalist and broadcaster penny smith and the commentator and broadcaster charlie wolf. the labour leaderjeremy corbyn has said that mps who engage in abuse and sexual harassment must be held accountable for their actions. he said a "warped and degrading culture" — where the abuse of women is accepted and normalised — is thriving in the corridors of power. 0ur political correspondent alex forsyth reports. jeremy corbyn went to scotland with a clear message, to address head—on claims of aggressive makeover by politicians. —— abusive behaviour. the labour leader offered evidence or specific examples but discredit the labour leader offered evidence or specific examples but described

a culture where abuse of women had been accepted and normalised. it extends to a culture that has tolerated abuse were far too long, it has worked and degrading culture at that also exists and thrives in the corridors of power including in westminster. those comments about these corridors follow newspaper reports of unnamed mps acting inappropriately. no one has been directly accused. so far, no complaint is made. but some who know this place well say it is a problem that must be addressed. in westminster, there has been a long—standing issue and we are quite right now to see women coming forward if they've have faced that kind of difficulty in the workplace. i think it's totally unacceptable. downing street has stressed any claims of abuse will be taken seriously. so, an attempted joke by michael gove this morning wasn't necessarily welcomed. it was on the today programme.

he was talking to presenter john humphrys and the sometimes i think that's coming into the studio with you, john, is a bit like going into harvey weinstein‘s bedroom. i tell you what... have you got something else to say there, michael? john goes way past groping! way past groping! just pray that you emerge with your dignity intact. mr gove later apologised on twitter for his clumsy attempt at humour saying it wasn't appropriate. with an specific allegations about impropriety swirling in westminster, politicians of all parties want to make clear they don't see this as a joking matter. i can now speak to sophie walker, leader of the women's equality party.

i'm sure that report was quite an uncomfortable one, but also welcoming because in many ways here welcoming because in many ways here we are talking openly in an environment where we hope victims can now feel comfortable and come come forward. what is your reaction to whatjeremy corbyn had to say about this culture that allows it, ignores it is it? jeremy corbyn has beenin ignores it is it? jeremy corbyn has been in westminster for about 30 yea rs. been in westminster for about 30 years. i suppose it is better late than never, that he should come out and say something about the culture which is so entrenched bearer. it's disappointing, frankly, on a number of levels, the comments from him as theresa may. to be putting the onus on victims to solve what is a systemic problem. the results from a power imbalance between men and women. is rarely not going to be

anything like enough to fix it. let's start there. the labour party, women in the labour party, set up a website called labour to last week because they were so concerns about the culture within the party in terms of dealing with complaints. they sat out some very clear guidelines that they wanted jeremy corbyn to pick up, such as independent third—party reporting, safeguarding for all staff, a new policy on harassment and assault. itsjeremy policy on harassment and assault. its jeremy corbyn policy on harassment and assault. itsjeremy corbyn really policy on harassment and assault. its jeremy corbyn really wanted to ta ke its jeremy corbyn really wanted to take efficient action, he could have sent today that he was going to do all of those things. instead of which, we got another round of, isn't this terrible, people must come forward. it's sounded like he was calling for an investigation, but we are left to read between words. it sounds like you're saying that theresa may, jeremy corbyn and those in the corridors of power know this goes on and have done nothing.

you can't be sure of that, they could just be reacting to what they're hearing now. what i'm saying is that this stems from eight massive structural problem of inequality three men and women. you will meet fix that through major policy work. that is why the women's equality party was set up and why people have been flocking to ask, customary these blindspots in these two big parties. forgeries are made to stand up and say we have got to do something about this, when she is pushing through austerity policies universal credit, which have been proven to disproportionately affect women, and push more women into poverty and exacerbate that power imbalance, it beggars belief. she has also rejected out of hand lots of recommendations from the women's inequality committees, the parliament report about how to improve the environment in westminster and get more women into parliament... what are you

recommending to theresa may?m parliament... what are you recommending to theresa may? is we are saying to her and tojeremy corbyn, whose party tends to focus on class rather than sex and gender and class, is that you have to look at what is causing this power imbalance. you have to look at inequalities of education, of pay, of childcare, of representation, all of childcare, of representation, all of which discriminate against women. if you really wanted to do something that would revolutionise the lives of women and stick the power balance, it would be to invest in social infrastructure. some invested carer, to invest in childcare, social carer. to invest in the work that women do unpaid, unseen and undervalued, and which consistently leave them in a position where voices had and heard. leave them in a position where voices had and heardlj leave them in a position where voices had and heard. ijust want to get your reaction to the comments of michael gove on the special edition of radio 4. he has apologise unreservedly. lord kinnock, who added to his comments but it goes

way beyond groping, has yet to apologise. the audience laughed and the presenters as well. would you like to see an apology from everybody? particularly lord kinnock. i think we do need to see those men in power understanding that what they're saying is totally inappropriate. to say it is clumsy doesn't come close. what i would much rather see if those men in power taking specific, strategic actions tackle the structural inequalities that allow them to set up inequalities that allow them to set upa top inequalities that allow them to set up a top of the pile like this that make these kinds ofjokes. you got to wonder how a where men are —— outnumber women by two to one generally represents... is and is an issue for the whole of society, not just the corridors of power at westminster? you heard the audience laughing thosejokes. westminster? you heard the audience laughing those jokes. i'm saying that there is a structural problem

right across politics, business. we have seen it with 31 steam, and entertainment, and of a massive power imbalance. some people laughed at those jokes which shows us how deep—rooted problem is. i'm sure there are people who were laughing from shock. the people who are in power in parliament need to start taking responsibility for their very importantjob taking responsibility for their very important job of representing taking responsibility for their very importantjob of representing the electorate, which means are sending women, women's use electorate, which means are sending women, women's use variances and lights and understanding how these situations come about. notjust putting the onus back on when an aspect ins and survivors to solve the problem by speaking out. and he has is very important and powerful, but why would you speak out unless you know you will be treated with fairness? and believed as well. many thanks for your time this evening. many thanks for your time this evening. islamist militants have said they were behind two deadly explosions in the somali capital mogadishu. at least ten people

absolutely confident that the people at the ministry of defence, the royal navy, put in charge of them, ta ke royal navy, put in charge of them, take the responsibility seriously. i don't believe in this case that we have. has been trouble on hms vigilant before. have. has been trouble on hms vigila nt before. the have. has been trouble on hms vigilant before. the captain was relieved of his command after an alleged inappropriate relationship with a member of his crew are although the navy said operations we re although the navy said operations were not impacted. following today's revelations, the royal navy said it did not tolerate drugs misuse, adding that those who are found to have fallen short of our high standards face being discharged from service. defence secretary sir michael fallon is now understood to have ordered drugs tests on all uk submarine crews. he is said to have given the head of the navy a roasting for the incident. meanwhile the snp, which once tried and removed from the clyde, says it is seeking to ask urgent questions in parliament next week. england have won the world cup final — at under 17 level. the england youth team came back

you live through it as a parent and a supporter as well, particularly as you are watching but also in the training? yes, you were taking every ball. as much as you are watching it, and it is hard. people say the managers are taking every ball, so the parents. out of that deal not just as they win but as you see your son scored that goal? —— how does it feel. before the start of the game, i was saying i would be happy if he scored one goal. when he did, what a critical moment of the match was i think it was perfect. i said to my friends, he's not finished yet! i thought they would score more goals. if you had told me he would end up winning five, i would never have expected that. you're going to try

and see that go again. i understand that you gave your son a bit of tough love, as you just mentioned. you weren't too happy with the way things were going. i understand you sent a text saying it's about time hejoins the party sent a text saying it's about time he joins the party and he was bonded with a hat—trick, so that told you! he responded with that. the next timei he responded with that. the next time i told them to go and enjoy himself. just keep pushing. then when he scored the second hat—trick, i thought there was nothing much more i can say. i said to him, win, lose or draw, you should be proud of yourself. whatever you do, just go out and enjoy the moment. make sure when you come off the pitch, you know you couldn't have donated more. he has done it. we often get disappointed by the england team in the world cup. not the other 17 20s.

do you think this is now showing hope that in the future, we might have a battery with team? we might have a battery with team? we might have stronger players coming forward ? have stronger players coming forward? without a shadow of a doubt. the ball over the years have said that the players had as technical as their european counterparts. i think the under 17 is and 20 to 21 ‘s, i think we are showing that we compete with the best. listening to some of the commentary, i think this is the way forward. he's got to release your best players. preventive experiences that such a young age, it can only bode well to the future. and they all need a dad like you! i know you are on the phone from my first we don't want to bridge built up any further. i do so much and have a wonderful time with your son. thank you. more on that victory in sportsday — coming up at half past. unicef said children were suffering

"the kids keep saying they're hungry", she says,

"my heart is broken. there's nothing i can do." this is seven—year—old mustafa, and he is the most in need of food in the family. weighing only ten kilos, he, like hundreds of children in besieged east ghouta, is malnourished. his elder sister can't even go to school. translation: i'm ten years old and i'm in year one. i should be in yearfour. we can't eat or drink and we tell mum day and night that we're hungry. translation: our situation is very bad. my father doesn't have the money. my brother, mustafa, was well and had chubby hands. now, he's very thin.
