Madrid sacked the Catalan parliament after their unilateral declaration of independence. The central government is sending in officials to take control of institutions, while Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont and other separatist leaders say they are still in charge. Also, a new study says carbon dioxide levels reached a record high in 2016, a war crimes trial of an Ethiopian aide to a former dictator takes place in the Netherlands, and a cancer support charity hires a 'digital nurse' to deal with fake news and answer online questions.
