Spanish constitutional court fines Catalonia's Referendum organisers

Spain's constitutional court has imposed daily fines of up to €12,000 (£10,600; $14,300) on top Catalan officials for every day they continue organising a democratic referendum.

Among those threatened is Josep Maria Jové, a top Catalan treasury official, who is being held on sedition charges. The Spanish court says the vote is illegal but the region's vice-president said it would go ahead if possible.
