| The number of people living in extreme poverty in Spain has doubled in just five years - according to a new report from charity groups there. Around three million Spaniards now have to survive on under 307 euros per month, while the cost of living continues to climb. That's as the number of families where not one person is employed, has gone up five-fold since the start of crisis, that's 1 point 8 million households.
