PROBLEM: Spanish Prime Mariano Rajoy called on Catalan leader Carles Puigdemont to drop independence plans or risk âgreater evilsâ.
 Puigdemont  said  in response to a question from the German Bild daily   he  was not afraid of being arrested.
Neither the Spanish government nor the judiciary has threatened to arrest  Puigdemont   though Madrid accuses him of breaking the law by ignoring a Constitutional Court ruling forbidding the referendum.
On Wednesday  in a televised address   Puigdemont  renewed  his  call for mediation in the dispute but said the results of the referendum would have to be applied.
âWe will go as far as people want it. But without the use of force â  Puigdemont  told Bild. âI am sure that Spain will not be able to ignore the will of so many people.â

PROBLEM: The norovirus is also referred to as the âwinter vomiting bug " Lee-Ann Jaykus  the scientific director for NoroCORE  a food safety initiative thatâs funded through a $25 million grant from the USDA  told Fox News.
The norovirus  which has different strains  can spread easily -- especially in close spaces   Jaykus  said.
When an infected person vomits or defecates  âmassive amounts [of the virus] are excreted â  Jaykus  explained. âThere are millions to billions of particles in one just one gram.â
Food handlers who are sick and donât practice adequate hygiene can easily infect other people. Infected water can also spread the illness  though this more commonly occurs in developing countries   Jaykus  noted.
How do you prevent  it ?
âHand washing is hugely important. In fact  itâs the single most important thing for people attending Olympics." - Lee-Ann Jaykus
âHand washing is hugely important â  Jaykus  said. âIn fact  itâs the single most important thing for people attending Olympics â  she  said.
The norovirus is extremely hard to kill   Jaykus  warned. Inactivating the virus requires a high concentration of bleach. And while itâs easy enough to clean countertops and other similar surfaces with bleach  the same canât be said for carpet and furniture. Alcohol isnât strong enough to entirely kill the virus either   Jaykus  added.
âThe norovirus can be spread for weeks â said  Jaykus   who added that quarantining infected people can also be useful in preventing the spread of norovirus.
âThis is really scary for the athletes -- if you have norovirus you really are incapacitated â said  Jaykus   though no athletes have reported having symptoms of the virus.

PROBLEM: The Hambantota port deal "ties into what India has said about the Belt and Road initiative  that many of these ventures are not being entered into by China by looking at their financial liability "  K.C. Singh   former secretary at the Indian ministry of external affairs  told Al Jazeera.
But   Singh  said  "this is going to be a standing example for the other countries to watch  because China is not Father Christmas  handing out dollar bills. They want return on the money  and they want the money to come within a certain  certified period."
"Is it a model then for future extension of the Chinese strategic footprint? When ... countries can’t return the money  then you grab territory?" Singh said. "So that will be something that India will be concerned about  and I’m sure it will be raised in Colombo."
If China’s projects in Sri Lanka are peaceful and benefit the latter country  "sure  it’s very good " said Singh  the former Indian diplomat. "But at the moment  that’s not the impression that India has. We find that China is jostling for strategic space."
