And Anthony Joshua knocks carlos takam down in the fourth round to regain control of their world heavyweight title fight in cardiff. Good evening and welcome to bbc news. A day after being deposed as the president of catalonia, the separatist leader, carles puigdemont, has called for democratic resistance to the central governments takeover of the region. Mr 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 people held a rally, waving spanish flags and calling for national unity. 0ur correspondent, james reynolds, reports from barcelona. 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 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. Carles puigdemont, the catalan leader, featured on todays front pages, refuses to accept that he has been fired. Translation we do not deviate. We continue persevering in the only way that can make us winners. Without violence, without insults, in an inclusive way, respecting people, symbols and opinions. Many here are worried about what may come next. Antonio and pilar, here queueing up for lottery tickets, just want a fresh start. Elections, elections, elections, he tells me. And over in madrid, demonstrators have come out to support the imposition of direct rule in the catalan region. Why do they want to break up spain . There is no sense. It is a problem that is not only affecting catalonia. It is affecting the whole of spain. It is affecting the whole of europe. And we cannot just stay and see what happens, we have to act. Viva espa na tonight, catalans may wonder who exactly is running their lives. They are ruled directly by madrid, but their own deposed leader continues to try to govern, leaving people here in a strange half world. James reynolds, bbc news, barcelona. Jeremy corbyn has called for mps who are guilty of Sexual Harassment or abuse to be held to account. In a speech this afternoon, the labour leader warned that a warped and degrading culture was thriving in westminster. 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 for far too long, it has warped and degrading culture 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 those 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. Many aids and researchers are employed directly by mps. Downing street has stressed any claims of abuse will be taken seriously. So, an attempted joke by michael gove this morning wasnt necessarily welcomed. Michael gove was taking part in an Anniversary Edition of 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. That failed to appease critics, including an mp from his own party who said his comment had insulted victims of rape and other sexual assault. The allegations may so far be anonymous but few think it is a joking matter. Many worried this workplace like others may have turned a blind eye for too long. Islamist militants have said they were behind two deadly explosions today in the somali capital, mogadishu. At least 14 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.

Kurdish officials in Northern Syria say a 21 year old man from oxford has been charged with membership of the Islamic State group.

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. The order has been made by the defence secretary, sir Michael Fallon. The snp says the uk government has questions to answer over the clyde based nuclear sub. Andrew black reports. The hms vigilant, one of four submarines based on the clyde, which carries nuclear weapons. Today, the ministry of defence confirmed that nine sailors serving on the submarine had been thrown out of the navy after failing drug tests. 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 we 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. 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.

Voting in kenyas disputed election remains on hold, with the poll suspended in several areas because of clashes between rival groups. The opposition leader, raila 0dinga, refused to run in the contest against the sitting president , uhuru kenyatta. But attempts are being made on the ground to defuse tension. 0ur africa editor, fergal keane, joined a peace convoy led by two local governors touring the villages in kisumu, appealing for calm. If this country is to end its political crisis, this convoy might be an inspiration. Two leaders, from different tribes and with different politics, but one message. Governor paul supported the elections. It was important we came here today with a message of peace, he says. The governor is an opposition leader. From today, there will be no more roadblocks, he promised. This is a significant event. Because so often in the past, powerful men have used ethnic rivalry to their political advantage. This is quite the opposite. The two governors are going into their respective communities together, to preach a message of tolerance. These farmers say their neighbours stopped the election taking place here. They refused our people to vote. They wouldnt allow you to vote . Yeah, and our people dont like it. We drove past the barricades set up to prevent voting. These sugar cane fields. Just a few minutes from the land occupied by one group, to the land occupied by another. But its a great deal more complex here than tribal enmity. Poverty, deepened by corruption and misrule has inflamed local divisions. The young men said they had armed in self defence. They claimed they had been attacked and had cattle stolen a few hours earlier. There were moments of tension, some shouted at the visiting governor. In the morning, when we took our people to work out there, they started beating them and chasing them away. What is the solution . The solution is, its good that the governors have come. We need those people to bring back our capital, fast. So we can sit down and find a solution. The Peace Initiative follows election violence that took the life of george. The 19 year old was shot by police during demonstrations before polling. Translation i feel pain. Ifeel pain because my baby was not sick. He died from a bullet. Ifeel much pain. It is the human toll that makes todays peace move something far greater than the politics of gesture. We have de escalated a tension that was there by almost 100 . This is the way forward for kenya. This is the way forward for africa. The bigger crisis remains unresolved. But across the west, it felt calmer tonight.

British overseas territories damaged by hurricanes could get access to official foreign aid in the future under plans being considered by the worlds richest nations. There was controversy last month when it emerged that some caribbean islands hit by Hurricane Irma were considered too rich to receive overseas help, as our diplomatic correspondent, james landale, reports. When british 0verseas territories such as anguilla, turks and cacos and the British Virgin islands were hit by hurricanes last month, none of the assistance they got was from britains £13 billion aid budget. Thats because the islands are considered too rich under International Rules to qualify for official development assistance. These rules are laid down by a special committee, the 0ecd group of rich nations. That committee is meeting in paris on monday and i have been told it may consider a proposal to allow countries to requalify for overseas aid if they suffer a long Term Economic shock. At the moment, there is no procedure for countries to get back onto the list of eligible aid recipients. A second option, to allow hurricane hit countries a short term waiver from the rules not expected to win support.
