Spain's government kicks off a crisis cabinet meeting as it prepares to seize powers from Catalonia's separatist government in a bid to stop the north eastern region's independence drive. The meeting, according to the prime minister's office, aims to decide on specific powers it wants to take away from the wealthy north eastern region, which currently enjoys wide autonomy including control over its own policing, education and healthcare.
