Catalonia will declare independence “in a matter of days”, the region’s secessionist leader Carles Puigdemont was quoted as telling the BBC, a move that would defy Madrid and attempt to implement the directive of Sunday’s banned independence referendum. Mr Puigdemont said that his government would “act at the end of this week or the beginning of next”, according to an interview with the BBC on Tuesday.

Wednesday 4th October, 2017 Russian staff left the consulate last month, after Washington ordered Moscow to vacate some of its diplomatic properties. The moves were part of a series of tit-for-tat actions during a thorny phase in bilateral relations.

Assume it affects you,” Curry said. “Privacy is really the victim here.” Yahoo first disclosed the breach in December .

Wednesday 4th October, 2017 Murphy represents Connecticut, where a gunman toting a semi-automatic rifle slaughtered 20 children aged six and seven at Newtown's Sandy Hook Elementary School in 2012. Congress enacted no legislation restricting firearms in the months that followed, nor after any subsequent mass shooting, including last year's bloodbath at an Orlando, Florida nightclub that left 49 people dead. "Thoughts and prayers need to be matched by action," Murphy said later on the Senate floor. "The reason why we exist is to act, is to change the laws of the nation, to address challenges that our constituents face." During a visit to hurricane-ravaged Puerto Rico on Tuesday, President Donald
