In Spain, one and a half million Catalans are marching through Barcelona to demand independence for their autonomous region. Demonstrators fill the city center waving red and yellow flags and chanting "Catalonia, a new European country". Alfred Bosch, a member of the Catalan regional assembly, told the BBC that he had never seen so many pro-independence marchers in his life. Tom Burridge is at the rally.
This year, calls for independence for the Spanish region in the far northeast of the country have added potency . Because both the Spanish and regional Catalonia economies are in crisis. Some economists say that the Catalan government has barely enough money to pay public sector workers here, and therefore, Catalonia has asked the Spanish central government for a bailout to 5bn euros. The Catalan government argues the central government in Madrid owns it that money because it pays much more in taxes than it gets back in funding from the Spanish government. And many here on the streets of Barcelona want that agreement renegotiated.
The family of a young Pakistani Christian girl named Rimsha, who faces blasphemy charges, say their Muslim neighbors threaten to murder them. Speaking to the BBC from a secret location outside Islamabad, Rimsha's father said he feared for their lives. They were saying we are going to burn you inside the house; we are not going to spare you or your kids. Then we will burn the homes of the other Christians. Rimsha's accused of burning pages of the Koran but the cleric, who had accused her, was arrested last week for allegedly planting evidence against her and himself desecrating the Koran. Rimsha was released on bail but still faces trial.
Thousands of protesters have gathered outside the American embassy in the Egyptian capital Cairo to express their anger at a film produced in the US which they say humiliates the prophet Mohamed. Some of the protesters entered the embassy compound and tore down the American flag. From Cairo, here is Jon Leyne.
The protesters outside the American embassy in Cairo included hard line Islamists known as Salafists and also members of a football supporters' club known as Ostras. They were angry about the film they say is anti-Islamic which they complained is about to be shown in the United States. Early in the protest, the small group managed to get inside the embassy compound. They pulled down the Stars and Stripes which is flying at the half mast for the anniversary of the September 11 attacks and replaced it with an Islamic banner. A handful of protester continued sitting on the wall, but the embassy compound was surrounded by Egyptian riot police and there was no sign of any confrontation.
Some news just in. Militias in Libya have stormed the American consulate in Benghazi, the country's second largest city. Reports say they were also protesting against an American film which allegedly humiliated the prophet Mohamed.

Ceremonies have taken place in the United States to commemorate the 11th anniversary of the attacks on New York and the Pentagon. In New York, relatives of the nearly 3,000 victims read the names of those who died posing for a minute' silence to mark the exact time of each attack. Speaking at a memorial ceremony in Pentagon, President Obama said what happened 11 years ago had brought the people of the United States together.
When the history books are written, the true legacy of the 9.11 will not be one of fear, or hate, or division. It will be a safer world, a stronger nation and people more united than ever before.
At least 45 people have died in two separate fires in Pakistan. In the eastern city of Lahore, 25 people were killed in the blaze at a multistory shoe factory. Police said most of the victims which included the factory owner and his son were burnt to death or died from suffocation . In the port city of Karachi, 20 workers died in a garment factory fire. Rescue workers say many people are still trapped in the burning factory.
Road access to Bolivia's main city, La Paz, has been blocked off by miners demanding that the government hand over part of a tin and zinc mine. Hundreds of miners' blockade blocked the three biggest highways leading into La Paz. The Colquiri mine, which used to belong to Swiss company Glencore, was expropriated by the government in June.
The international pressure group Human Rights Watch says it has fresh evidence of atrocities committed by Rwandan backed rebels in the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo. Based on interviews with 190 witnesses, the study says the rebels known as M23 forcibly recruited young men and boys. Twenty-three of the new recruits are said to have been executed when they tried to escape. The spokesman for Human Rights Watch told the BBC that one woman had been gang raped by rebels, dashed with petrol and then set alight.
