In formula is World Championship good evening. Polls have closed in the spanish region of catalonia after a day of voting that descended into chaos and violence. The catalan authorities went ahead with an independence referendum declared illegal by the spanish courts, only to see the Central Government in madrid send in riot police. They managed to close down some polling stations, with more than 800 people said to have needed medical assistance. Tonight as the votes are counted the Catalan Government said the actions of the Spanish Government made it the shame of europe. Government made it tom burridge reports from barcelona. Government made it this government made it is how a vote turned ugly. Spanish this is how a vote turned ugly. Spanish National Police moving in this is how a vote turned ugly.

With some in barcelona supporting spains government today, spains Prime Minister tonight seemed oblivious to the violence carried out by his police. Translation we have been an example to the world for our ability to believe in ourselves and to improve at every moment. But many did vote am savouring a precious moment. But ina am savouring a precious moment. But in a neighbourhood near barcelona football clubs nou camp, we found Spanish Police surrounding a polling station with local people surrounding them. Once inside the school they removed protesters and searched for ballot boxes. This woman was queueing to vote when they arrived. We dont want to be part of this country that they dont love us. This country that they dont love us. Spain doesnt love us. Their work done, they left to a chorus of anger and disbelief. This is the people facing down the police. These are right police who have been drafted in from other parts of spain. But their heavy handed tactics today appear to be making deep divisions in this region worse. Many catala ns region worse. Many catalans did not want todays disputed poll, let alone independence. But spains now Ruling Popular Party helped scrap the deal promising more financial autonomy for catalonia. That was seven years ago and the Pro Independence camp have pushed the idea that this region would be better off outside of spain ever since. Would can talk to tom live from barcelona now. Given the views of the Spanish Government on this referendum, tom, whats going to happen when the results come in . Well, into the unknown, really. Neither of catalans devolved government and the leader of the Pro Independence movement has called on the European Union to intervene. The levels of Police Violence we have seen today have eclipsed the actual referendum itself. We are still waiting to see exactly how many people have been able to vote in this most controversial of polls. The Spanish Government always maintained its the spanish courts ordering the Spanish Police to act. But i think their tactic today of violently preventing people from voting seems to have backfired. I also think the idea of catalonias government declaring independence from spain without madrids consent is still very much on the cards. Thats what these people want and many other people across catalonia do not want that. It would be a volatile moment. Tom burridge, in barcelona, thank you. At the conservative Party Conference in manchester, the Prime Minister has insisted that her cabinet is united on brexit, and unveiled plans designed to appeal to younger voters. Therell be changes to the University Tuition fee system in england, and more help forfirst time home buyers. And more help forfirst but as our Political EditorLaura Kuennsberg reports, theresa may is having to face more open dissent from within her government. Open dissent from tory, tory, tory. Open dissent from scum, scum, scum open dissent from the Prime Minister might find it hard to listen to that, let alone agree. Hard to listen to that, let the tory conference, a magnet for discontent and fury in some quarters. For discontent and fury in most of the protests peaceful, all noisy at least. But theresa may does think she needs to Pay Attention to the national mood. Think she needs to after labour courted votes promising to scrap University Fees in england, they will be frozen and there is a confirmation of a rethink too. Frozen and there is when we set that policy what we expected was going to happen was there would be a range, diversity in the system, that wed see universities perhaps offering shorter courses, that wed see universities offering courses at fees under the maximum fee. That hasnt happened. At fees under the maximum fee. Weve got to look at it again. At fees under the maximum fee. But ambitions to change policy wont matter much. Foreign secretary, do you accept youre causing trouble for the Prime Minister . Youre causing trouble for the prime no, he certainly doesnt. Youre causing trouble for the prime if the man most tory mps see as stirrer in chief and the prime if the man most tory mps see cant pull together. Should the foreign secretary be sacked . All of them would deny, of course, theyre trying to cause trouble. Of course, theyre but the danger for the tories is they look like theyre attacking each other rather than trying to deal with the publics concerns. Rather than trying to deal and in the next few days they all need to do more than just hope for the best. They all need to do more i think this is a big opportunity for theresa may, perhaps a last opportunity for her to reset the way that people think and feel about her post that disastrous election. So, its a big moment. Post that disastrous election. If she doesnt deliver it then i think of course she will be vulnerable. Then i think of course i dont know why everyone pretends you can just carry on after such a disastrous election result as if nothing has happened. Election result as if nothing there isnt any unity. Election result as if nothing thats the problem. Election result as if nothing i mean, everybody keeps saying we are all united and we are all going to have a bigger and better future. Thats what politicians have got to say. It is indeed what she feels she has to say, whatever the antics of the foreign secretary. Is he unsackable . Of the foreign secretary. Look. Of the foreign secretary. Look, lets be very clear about what we have here in this government. About what we have here we have a government that is determined to build a country that works for everyone. Whether this conference works for her, well, thats a different question. For her, well, thats a theresa may knows she needs to win her authority back. But parties arguing amongst themselves dont inspire devotion and strong leaders. Themselves dont inspire devotion know they ought to be able to close down internal fights. Political parties can never completely stage manage these conferences. Completely stage manage these as the Prime Ministers deputy found out this afternoon. But theresa may has been put on notice by her party. Been put on notice and to keep going, this week the Prime Minister needs to do more than put on a brave face. The Prime Minister needs to do Laura Kuenssberg, bbc news, manchester. As laura mentioned theresa may has promised that the whole system of University Funding in england is to be reviewed, with a freeze in tuition fees and a rise in the thresholds at which repayments begin. Fees and a rise in the thresholds our education editor branwenjeffereys has been looking into the changes. Branwenjeffereys has been just a mile from the tory conference, a student cafe. Chewing over the changes, liam and grace. I cant imagine it being any more expensive than £9,000. It is expensive enough as it is, really expensive. They dont take into account things like maintenance and stuff like that. Like maintenance and liam says freezing fees doesnt go far enough. They should be encouraging more people to get into university and things like that. So scrapping them is the best idea for me. But im not really sure what thats going to do for the country as a whole. What thats going to do for the but grace is pleased she wont start repaying until she earns more. She wont start repaying itlljust give me more time to earn that money until i actually have to pay back all the tuition fees. Because £21,000 is not very much at all. So i think its better that they are raising it. Everything about student finance is up for review. The measures announced today were quite simple. But thats partly because the system is so congregated. Is so complicated. So, tuition fees are being frozen at £9,250. The earnings threshold for graduates to repay is going up to £25,000 per year. For graduates to repay is but, Interest Rates are staying at 6. 1 . And for living costs, the poorest students are still going to have to rely on loans, not grants. To University Leaders are lobbying behind the scenes at Party Conferences, freezing fees means rising costs will eat away at their budgets. Rising costs will eat away at and they want more changes, too. Rising costs will eat away at it is a good start. Rising costs will eat away at i would like the government to go further. I would suggest that they consider introducing targeted maintenance grants for those students who most need it, to give students cash their pocket while they are at university. Getting a degree leads to better paid jobs. But for middle earners, that still means 30 years of paying back a loan. That still means 30 years one reason why raising the threshold will make a difference. The threshold will make that means, for a middle earning graduate, they will see less of their monthly pay taken in graduate contributions. Its a very expensive option for the government, though. Students just starting this week at uni. By the time they leave, the system could have changed again. Branwen jeffreys, bbc news. The system could have changed again. Lets go back to our Political EditorLaura Kuenssberg at the conservative conference in manchester, what will the next few days be like for her . What days be like for her . Is going on in the cabinet and whether what is going on in the cabinet and whether they are signed up to the same programme will be on the agenda. As she proceeds through this vital week for the tories, there is a question at the back of everybodys mind. In the wake of the election result are they really looking at something that went wrong because they ran a bad campaign, or are they looking at Something Else . Are they trying to understand and grapple with the fact, as many people suggest, that the centre of gravity in this country has really changed . Gravity in this country has really changed . Into that gravity in this country has really changed . Into that debate tomorrow will wade the chancellor phillip hammond, and rather than put forward some big thought about how things are different and how consensus has moved in the last few months, instead he will give a very stout defence of a tory idea that goes back for decades and decades. He will give a defence of the way the economy works and the market. He will say everything is not perfect but in his view the message will be holding your nerve to the party, dont panic and suddenlyjunk decades of ideology in the face of renewed vigour from the labour party. The fact that a tory chancellor has to even take the platform at a tory conference and make his belief plane tells you how much the political circumstances have really changed in the last year. Laura kuenssberg in manchester, thank you. A 17 Year Old Girl and a 20 year old woman have been stabbed to death at a Railway Station in the south of france, in what is suspected to be a militant islamist attack. Soldiers on patrol in the city of marseille shot dead a man in his 20s who was armed with a knife. President macron has called the attack barbaric. Police say the suspect was known to the authorities. The future of monarch, the uks fifth largest airline, is hanging in the balance as it tries to persuade the Civil Aviation authority tonight to renew the licence it needs to sell package holidays. The licence it needs yesterday, it won a 24 hour extension, but there is uncertainty about its finances. Extension, but there is uncertainty joe lynam is outside the caas offices in london now. What could all this mean for travellers . Well, for the 10,000 or so people that are already on holidays, monarch package holidays, they will be brought home because they have the atol protection which guarantees that also for the 100,000 or so people who have bought holidays and not yet travelled they will get the full refund. The known and unknown is what happens to be bigger wider airline. There is a chance that customers and suppliers may lose confidence in the airline and that could a question over their future but there is still an hour and half for the caa to decide that. The big problem is in the Airline Sector overall, the short haul sector. There are too many available seats and not enough people put in them. Joe lynam, thank you. A 17 year old boy has been charged with arson and causing danger to road users, in connection with two incidents on the m3 last month. In connection with two incidents a flammable substance was thrown from a bridge leading to lengthy delays on the main route between london and southampton. The teenager will appear before magistrates tomorrow. The former american football star and actor oj simpson has been released from prison in the us state of nevada. He served nine years of a 33 year sentence for armed robbery. He said he had been trying to recover sporting memorabilia stolen from him. To recover sporting ten days after puerto rico was devastated by Hurricane Maria, the situation in the american territory remains desperate. Most of the island is still without power and theres a shortage of drinking water, food and fuel. Theres also deepening Political Tension over relief efforts as President Trump continues to angrily defend the us response on social media. To angrily defend the us Aleem Maqbool sent this report from the town of loiza. You see . I lost everything, my home. It took a matter of hours for Hurricane Maria to tear apart puerto rico and the homes of so many living here. Puerto rico and the homes i went with Lesley Quinones as she surveyed what is left of the place she lived with her five children and granddaughter. What are you going to do . Children and granddaughter. I dont know what ill do because i dont have money. My family dont have money. Because i dont have money. I dont know where im going. Because i dont have money. I dont have nothing more. Because i dont have money. This is all i have right now. Because i dont have money. This is my only home i have. Because i dont have money. Since the hurricane struck with such devastation, lesley and her family have been living in a makeshift shelter, a school. They are getting some food now but for the first nine days they didnt even have mattresses to sleep on. There is no power here or across the vast majority of this island. Or across the vast lesley says help has been slow to arrive and worries where it will come from in the future. I feel depressed, nervous, stressed. From in the future. You dont see nothing, its not good. Just terrible, just terrible, terrible. Well, there are now thousands of us military and Emergency Personnel here working hard to help in puerto rico. The complaint among many puerto ricans, though, is that there was too much of a delay after the hurricane before this operation began and not enough of a sense of urgency to begin with. Of a sense of when a us official called the countrys response here, in what is an american territory, a good news story it an american territory, caused the mayor of sanjuan
