Spain is to start suspending Catalonia's autonomy from Saturday.

Spain is to start suspending Catalonia's autonomy from Saturday. We get the reaction of former Spanish economy minister, Alfredo Pastor. Also in the programme, two of the world's biggest banks, HSBC and Standard Chartered, have been drawn into a corruption scandal in South Africa. Independent banking analyst Christopher Wheeler considers the impact on the banks, and Philip Dexter, a former member of parliament for the ruling ANC party, tells us what he thinks the impact will be on South Africa's government. Plus the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ's Marie Keyworth reports from Senegal, where coastal erosion threatens to wash away one of the country's most important towns.
