Spain is reeling from what has been described as one of the worst natural disasters in its recent history. Rescue workers are struggling to find those feared missing and officials say it’s not clear how many people are still unaccounted for. Hundreds of soldiers have been deployed to help. We hear from local people affected by the floods, from the Spanish Red Cross and from our reporter on the ground.

Also on the programme: North Korea test fires a ballistic missile which seems to have flown higher and for longer than ever before; and how a comment about women’s self defence sparked a huge social media response.
