At least 68 people have been killed and dozens more injured after a Spanish high-speed train collided with another train south of the capital Madrid. Spain's transport minister says an "inexplicable" decision by the control centre led to the collision after a computer failure initially caused trains to halt. Also on the programme: a day after Israel's election produced no clear winner, will Israeli Arab parties be crucial to forming a government? And Flavio Bolsonaro has landed in the United States after fleeing Brazil.
