Hundreds of thousands of catalans have marched through barcelona calling on the madrid government to free jailed separatist leaders. The marchers have also been showing their support for the Catalan Independence movement in general. Most of the demonstrations have been peaceful, although militant protesters have clashed with police in one part of central barcelona. Our correspondent, sarah rainsford, is there. The police have suddenly started pushing people up the street. They are trying to get rid of this crowd than they have been firing rubber bullets at the crowd, some of the protesters had staged a sit in taking up positions within the streets, they have their hands in the air showing they were no threat to the police but the police carried on firing rubber bullets up the streets. They had warned the protesters they were going to charge and there was an announcement from the police vans but as we look up, they crowd are building barricades, building barricades across the street. It was a peaceful protest at the beginning for a couple of hours with a round about 10,000 people here on the streets in the centre of barcelona. Just throwing insults at the police, and then they began throwing rocks and throwing fireworks and eventually the police lost their patients. Are the protests going to change anything . We hope so. If we dont do anything for sure it is going to stay the same. The only way to do it is to go out onto the street and protest and do stuff like this. This fire is burning right in the rich, smart pa rt burning right in the rich, smart part of barcelona. These couple of boxes set on fire. Protesters were forced back up the street. The Pro Independence leaders had called for todays rally to be peaceful and the main rally, some 350,000 people was just that, and the leaders on stage talking about how this Independence Movement is a peaceful one, but yet again, in the centre of barcelona tonight, fires on the street and protesters clashing with the police.

The Democratic Unionist Party in Northern Ireland has vowed to oppose the Prime Ministers brexit deal in the coming weeks unless he negotiates changes. Dup leader Arlene Foster told the Party Conference today her mps would use their votes to defeat borisjohnson in westminster. Heres our ireland correspondent emma vardy and a warning, theres some flash photography in her report. What a difference this time last year, it was Boris Johnson walking onto this stage to rapturous applause. Today, he was scolded by the dup leader. Rather than have boris with us today, we have had to send him to the naughty step in Parliament Twice in this last week. Twice the party has refused to back the government on crucial brexit votes, saying borisjohnson sacrificed commitments he made to the dup in order to get a deal. We will not give support to the government when we believe they are fundamentally wrong and acting in a way that is detrimental to Northern Ireland and taking us in the wrong direction. Last year, borisjohnson was warmly welcomed when he said no government should put a border down the irish sea. But his revised brexit deal requires new checks at Northern Irelands ports to keep frictionless trade over the irish land border. Its a concession that, for the dup, undermines Northern Irelands place in the united kingdom, which Arlene Foster has promised to uphold. Now more than ever, let us stand strong for the union. Thank you very much. Arlene foster was keen to remind delegates the dups votes in westminster have made a difference in recent days. And despite what members see as borisjohnsons betrayal of promises that he made here last year, they continue to hope the party can wield enough influence to get the Prime Minister to change course in the days ahead. Just going to have to go back and think very hard about how hell get back our ten votes. Its as simple as that, theres arithmetic to be played. If he dont, i dont see any future for boris, i have to say. The price for an agreement with the eu has been losing the support of allies here. Emma vardy, bbc news, belfast. A three week vatican conference on the challenges facing the Amazon Region has concluded with a call for some married men to be ordained as priests a move which, if acted upon, would overturn centuries of tradition within the Catholic Church. The suggestion at the synod on the amazon has been made as a way to tackle the problem of a shortage of priests in the region but is highly controversial. Beautiful and remote, the Catholic Church has long held sway in the Amazon Region. But finding enough priests to minister to hard to reach communities is a growing problem. At the vatican over the last few weeks, they have been attempting to solve that. Their solution could overturn centuries of tradition. Priestly celibacy has been the norm in the Catholic Church for most of its existence though its always been viewed as a tradition rather than a matter of doctrine. This vote, to recommend the in ordination of deacons as ministers regardless of whether they are married or not, could solve the problem in many remote communities being visited by a priest only a few times a year. But opponents of the idea fear it may spread throughout the Global Church and they see it as a further challenge to the orthodoxy extolled by the previous pope, benedict xvi. Some highly placed catholic officials have denounced the synod officials have denounced the synod of the amazon with one dismissing it as heresy. They are also angry at the suggestion that women should play a greater role in church activities. Pope francis says he will look again at that issue. Activities. Pope francis says he will look again at that issuelj would like to underline something. We have not yet realised what the women in the church means. We talk about them only for the functional part, which is important, but the role of women in the church was far beyond functionality. Far beyond. Final decision on priestly celibacy will be the pontiffs alone to make though rows have been bent before to fit local circumstances. When protesta nt vica rs fit local circumstances. When protestant vica rs in fit local circumstances. When protestant vicars in britain angry at the ordination of women as bishops left the church of england, Pope Benedict ordained many of them as catholic priests even though they we re as catholic priests even though they were already married.

At least three protesters have been killed in iraq. It means more than 200 people have now died in Anti Government protests this month. The violence comes in spite of protest leaders announcing a pause in demonstrations until the new year, to give the government time to respond to their demands. Our middle east correspondent tom bateman has the story. Protesters were back on the streets in their thousands. They chanted freedom they demanded jobs and an end to corruption. In the Southern City of nasiriyah, a group of protesters tried to storm the house of a local official. At least two people died in the violence. In the capital, baghdad, Security Forces were ready to protect the green zone the fortified area that hosts iraqs parliament. Protesters blame a political system put in place after the us led invasion of 2003, where government jobs are handed out on religious and ethnic lines. They say it has impoverished the people, but enriched their leaders. These are my brothers, this woman said. If i dont protect them, i cant protect my country. More than 50 people died in clashes yesterday, as Security Forces used live ammunition to break up protests. Today, they buried the dead. It is the second serious bout of violence this month, with the governments handling of the demonstrations only fuelling more unrest. Iraqs Prime Minister, Adil Abdul Mahdi in office for only a year finds himself under growing pressure. He has promised a Cabinet Reshuffle and a package of reforms, but it has done little to quell the anger. Its likely to take far more from the government to calm iraqs streets. Tom bateman, bbc news.

These are the highs on the day, about 6 7 up to 1112 at the highs on the day, about 6 7 up to 11 12 at the very best. Not a great deal of difference from monday into tuesday, a lot of isobars squeezing up, so the wind, a keen one at that, squeezing in from the east and south east. Maybe a shower or two and the onshore breeze from the north sea. Quite a bit of cloud across the eastern counties for both england and scotland but for the most pa rt england and scotland but for the most part it will be dry but not warm, seven, eight up to around 11 oi warm, seven, eight up to around 11 or 12 at the very best.
