The trial of suspended parliament speaker Laura Borràs, who has been accused of irregularly splitting contracts to avoid tenders, began this morning in the Catalan high court. 37,000 turkeys and 50,000 quails were culled in western Catalonia due to a bird flu outbreak. A DNA test confirmed that traces of footballer Dani Alves' semen were in the body and on the clothes of the woman who has accused him of rape.
