Crisis affecting almost 400,000 people in syria is described as an outrain by the United Nations. Many outrage by the United Nations. Many are children at risk of malnutrition after a four year long siege. And, england are the under 17 world cup champions, beating spain 5 2 in india after coming from behind. 0n the trail of the online crooks, inside out here on bbc news in half an hour. Good evening and welcome to bbc news. We start in spain. 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, spains 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 ones yet sure quite what to make of it. Catalan organisations have told people here to carry on as normal. Right here, its 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 todays 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. Without winners, without insults, in an inclusive way, respecting people, symbols and opinions. Many here are worried about what may come next. Antonio and pilar 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. With me now is dr angel smith, who is a lecturer in modern spanish history at the university of leeds. Good evening to you. Evening. Astonishing scenes and i am sure you have been watching. The history is being written as we see it i suppose. How do you think this is going to pan out . I want to pick up on the last comment from james reynolds, one thing seems to unite everyone, that is for civil obedience. How long do you think that will last . Well, i mean, i think it could last a long time. One of the things you need to take into account is that separatists make up about 40 odd of the catalan population. I would say the people who really want feel spanish as well as catalan, 20 approximated percent. Shall we say in small town catalonia, majority of the territory, separate independents are dominant. Ican territory, separate independents are dominant. I can see civil disobedience being a big problem for the Spanish Government. Of course the Spanish Government. Of course the Spanish Government seem to want to be able to draw a line under all of this by Holding New Elections on december 21st, presumably they re confident that the vote will go towards a party that wants a united spain. Do you think that can be achieved . Do you think the elections could draw a line under it . |j achieved . Do you think the elections could draw a line under it . I dont think the elections will draw a line under it. Its not only the 40 who wa nt under it. Its not only the 40 who want independence, there are about close on 75, 80 that would like a referendum on catalan independence. Of course the whole issue of in what circumstances would the elections ta ke circumstances would the elections take place . Presumably civil disobedience will only be able to go so disobedience will only be able to go so far. I presume that the catalan president orformer so far. I presume that the catalan president or former president and the ministers will be imprisoned, so what kind of climate will the elections take place in . Will the separatists want to take part and if they dont what will happen . Can you try and, if you can, to put all of this into some kind of context looking at the history of catalan and spain . A lot of analysts are saying this is just the contagian of anti austerity, anti establishment, nationalism, the rise of the right as well, not in catalan, but that anti establishment culture we are seeing spread across the world now, is it more than that, though . would draw a parallel, i wouldnt draw parallels with brexit or trump, i would draw parallels with the scottish nationalist party. There has been historically a lot of riflery between barcelona and madrid. But i suppose austerity is an element, particularly one of the things that the catalans complain about is fiscal transfer and of course that sense while catalonia had a bad deal, was augmented by austerity, but there is a whole problem of anti catalan sentiment in some other parts of spain. Very much whipped up, it has to be said, certainly in the past by the present government. So, it has long term roots, although the shift towards separatism has been quite new, its particularly from 2010 when a new cata la n particularly from 2010 when a new catalan statute was actually, or elements were actually annulled by the spanish constitutional courts. To summarise, it does its not just to do with populism, or i dont think its really to do with populism, i think there are other elements involved there. The big question of course is, as james reynolds, our correspondent, was trying to find the answer to, what actually happens next . Apart from these elections on december 21st, apart from fears of civil disobedience and spain, the madrid government, becoming heavy handed, how do you think this is going to play out, there is a lot to lose on both sides, isnt there . There is but i think that positions are so entrenched that i cant see this being sorted out, certainly in the short run, i think the Spanish Government, even though the Spanish Government, even though the Spanish Government has agreed to participate ina government has agreed to participate in a commission on the constitution, so in a commission on the constitution, so it has taken that step. But until 110w so it has taken that step. But until now the Spanish Government has said it defends the 1978 constitution, it wont accept any sort of referendum on catalan independence, so i think to be honest we stand for the next year or to be honest we stand for the next year 01 so, to be honest we stand for the next yearorso, in the to be honest we stand for the next year or so, in the medium to be honest we stand for the next year orso, in the medium run, perhaps finally the participants might get together and negotiate, seriously negotiate the states of catalonia within spain, whether, for example, there would be more of a federal relationship between catalonia and the rest of spain. But i cant see that happening any time 0011. I cant see that happening any time soon. Many thanks for your time. Its all fascinating. We will find out how the latest developments in spain are being covered in tomorrows front pages. And inside pages too, of course. 0ur pages too, of course. Our guests are the journalist and broadcaster penny smith and the commentator and praser charlie wolf. Do 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 abusive behaviour. 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 warped 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 theyve faced that kind of difficulty in the workplace. I think its totally unacceptable. Downing street has stressed any claims of abuse will be taken seriously. So, an attempted joke by michael gove this morning wasnt necessarily welcomed. It was on the today programme. He was talking to presenter John Humphrys and the former labour leader lord kinnockjoined in. Sometimes i think that coming into the studio with you, john, is a bit like going into Harvey Weinsteins bedroom. Applause. I tell you what. Have you got Something Else to say there, michael . John goes way past groping way past groping you just pray that you emerge with your dignity intact. Mr gove later apologised on twitter for his clumsy attempt at humour saying it wasnt appropriate. With unspecific allegations about impropriety swirling in westminster, politicians of all parties want to make clear they dont see this as a joking matter. Islamist militants have said they were behind two deadly explosions in the somali capital mogadishu. At least ten people have been killed. One of the blasts was caused by a suicide car bomb driven into the gates of a hotel popular with politicians and army officers. A fortnight ago a huge bomb attack in mogadishu killed more than 350 people. All crew members on Royal Navy Submarines are to undergo compulsory drugs tests, after nine sailors on hms vigilant were discharged for reportedly using cocaine.

According to one report, the drug they took was cocaine. Now the mp who represents the area which takes in the home of Trident Nuclear weapons says answers are needed. I am astonished. Deeply disappointed and very concerned. If we are to have these weapons of mass destruction on our doorstep here at faslane, we have got to be absolutely confident that the people at the ministry of defence, the royal navy put in charge of them, take the responsibility seriously. I dont believe in this case that they have. There 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 although the navy said operations were not impacted. Following todays 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.

The humanitarian crisis affecting almost 400,000 people in an eastern suburb of damascus has been described by the United Nations as an outrage. The area of Eastern Ghouta is the last part of the syrian capital under siege by the government. 0ur middle east correspondent reports and a warning her report contains some distressing images from syria. The main meal of the day. A few spoons of yoghurt and two loaves of bread. Feeding a family of seven is a daily struggle. The mother, who is covering herface for safety, says thats all she can afford for the day. The kids keep saying theyre hungry, she says, my heart is broken. Theres 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 cant even go to school. Translation im ten years old and im in year one. I should be in yearfour. We cant eat or drink and we tell mum day and night that were hungry. Translation our situation is very bad. My father doesnt have the money. My brother, mustafa, was well and had chubby hands. Now, hes very thin. Night and day we say we are hungry. My mum says, god help us. We dont have the money to bring you food. This is the main reason behind their suffering. The war grinds on. Government warplanes continue to target east ghouta. There are at least 350,000 civilians still trapped there and in need of food. The area has been under siege forfour years. This was the last aid convoy to enter the area last month and its hard to tell when the next one will come. These children are not in hospital because they are injured, but because they are malnourished. The un says there are over 1,200 children suffering in east ghouta and the numbers are rising. Translation many children are fainting, suffering headaches, blurred vision, depression, all because of a lack of essential food. We can only help so many. We dont have the medicines. Mustafa and his siblings are trying to live a normal life, but with the siege continuing, he is unlikely to recover soon. The Prime Minister, theresa may, has called on all companies to reveal the difference between what they pay male and female staff saying sustained action was needed to tackle the issue.
