The Spanish Supreme Court sentenced 9 Catalan politicians to jail terms of 9-13 years on charges of sedition, for promoting independence for the region. Tens of thousands of protestors took to the streets of Barcelona and other cities and battled with federal riot police.

From GERMANY- On Thursday Spanish and Catalan leaders were appealing for an end to the violence in Barcelona and other cities, with protestors demanding the release of their elected leaders and a path to nationhood.

"Globalization, as defined by rich people like us, is a very nice thing. You are talking about the Internet, you are talking about cell phones, you are talking about computers. This doesn't affect two-thirds of the people of the world."
