Spain Landslide

A commuter train derailed outside the Spanish city of Barcelona on Tuesday, killing one person and leaving 44 injured, the emergency services said on twitter.

The results of a controversial and chaotic referendum in the Catalonia region of northeast Spain on Sunday showed landslide support for independence for the restive but affluent area, a lopsided vote sure to be vigorously challenged by the constitutional court and central government in Madrid as illegitimate and illegal.

An exit poll said that Spain's Opposition conservatives scored a landslide win to oust the ruling Socialists in general elections held on Sunday that were dominated by a staggering unemployment rate and Europe's debt crisis.
