At least 10 people in Spain have died after two trains collided in the south of Madrid, a regional official has said.

A spokesperson for the Junta de Castilla-La Mancha region Esther Padilla told local television the death toll could potentially increase.

Rail operator Adif said the incident occurred between a Renfe train and another of the Iryo company, which covers the Madrid to Seville route.

A spokesperson for the Spanish emergency services told AFP “all resources are currently being deployed”, including “several fire crews, three helicopters, and two mobile intensive care units”.

A ceasefire has come into effect in the Ukrainian city of Oleshky, on the front line of the war with Russia. Thousands of residents have been trapped there, cut off from food, water and electricity.

The ceasefire has been brokered by an unexpected figure: the US First Lady Melania Trump. But the Vatican is also claiming credit for the truce, raising questions about who helped bring it about – and what it might mean for the people caught up in the fighting.

After years of war and worsening conditions for civilians, a pause in the fighting could offer some relief. But how much protection will it really provide? And can this ceasefire hold?

The Global Story’s Tristan Redman speaks to Simon Shuster of The Atlantic about the state of the war, the future of US support and why Kyiv is increasingly worried about being left out of the room.

A truce has begun in the Russian-occupied Ukrainian city of Oleshky, where residents have been trapped without food, water and electricity.

Ukrainian officials and Russia’s defence ministry say the limited ceasefire is being respected. The truce, which the White House said was secured by US First Lady Melania Trump, is meant to allow aid deliveries and a civilian evacuation on Friday.

But some residents have told the BBC there are concerns the ceasefire will not hold.

The current truce is supposed to allow supplies in and enable roads to be cleared of mines to allow people safe passage out in an evacuation planned to take place on Friday.

Internet safety campaigner Qudsiyah Shah posed as a 14-year-old girl to find out what kind of dangers children could be exposed to on such services.
It comes as the National Crime Agency says it arrested more than 190 men across the UK in a single week in connection with sexual offences against children.
