Today's video story: As Catalonia prepares to hold a historic referendum on whether to split from Spain, Catalonia's pro-independence President Carles Puigdemont, a former journalist, talks to Al Jazeera. He says “one important thing has happened in the past few days. There is a new majority in Catalonia, a wide ranging majority amongst the Catalans people which has grown that want to vote – be it ‘yes’ or ‘no’, but they want to vote and this is unstoppable. Referendums are not carried out by the courts or the police, its voters who make up a referendum… The wish to vote is unstoppable. You cannot put a brake on it.…Today the debate is not between independence yes or no, it’s above all between those who wish to create a new state right from the grassroots. A modern state. Or to continue with an authoritarian state which can cut back on our freedom, our liberties, to compel us to continue forming part of this state.”

Today's video story: Testing the limits of free speech in US colleges - We went inside the rise of the far right and alt right on college campuses, speaking to the extremists and leaders of the movements that are testing the right to free speech to its very limit. They talk of being emboldened by President Trump’s ambiguous response - following violent clashes in August after a “unite the right” march at the University of Virginia in Charlottesville left one anti-fascist protester dead.

Focus of the day story:   The Lavinia Woodward case exposes equality before the law as a myth. The leniency shown by the courts to a “promising” Oxford graduate reveals the social and racial inequality at the core of our justice system. Full story - Guardian Law
