Today's program reports on this weekend's extraordinary Cabinet meeting in which the Spanish government decided to activate article 155 of the Constitution whereby Madrid would impose direct rule over Catalonia. The measures include sacking the current elected Catalan government - President Carles Puigdemont and Vice President Oriol Junqueras as well as their advisors -and place the various Catalan institutions under the control of the corresponding government Ministries.  The Prime Minister says elections in Catalonia will be held once "normality" is restored.
