The scale of the flooding currently unfolding in Valencia, Spain is unfathomable. This is footage from Chiva, where a jaw-dropping 343 mm of rain was recorded in just 4 hours earlier today, between 4:30 PM and 8:30 PM.

At least 13 dead in flash floods in Spain - "Footage shows floodwaters causing chaos, knocking down bridges and dragging cars through the streets. Other video appeared to show people clinging to trees to avoid being swept away."

This case, where mistakes had awful implications for innocent parents, is an example of why the transparency pilot for family court reporting is so important.

There's more detail here in my full report.

Happy birthday... to us! 🎂🎉

I never intended to be someone who goes on about climate change. I saw An Inconvenient Truth in 2006 and thought every journalist and parent would be urgently focusing on it relentlessly.
I was shocked when they didn’t.
I’m still shocked that they’re not.
And this is the reason they don’t: 💰💶💷💵💴🤑https://t.co/ULGHWNz9si

"A report published by the United Nations in 2021 showed that the world's wealthiest 1% of people produced double the combined carbon emissions of the poorest 50%."

@Guythegrape @BarryHavenhand @SeanDromgoole Hi @Guythegrape, I work for BBC West and was wondering if we could use this image on our website with a credit? Thanks in advance.

@maureenddunlop Their sold-out performances are enjoyed by kids and parents who attend. They are not a parody of a woman, they are a drag queen and they perform to children of all ages. I cannot wait to take my kids who will definitely enjoy their message of celebrating your authentic self.

Really lovely that #HerGameToo has now expanded to other sports!

Very grateful to all the couples who shared their relationships in this article. Everyone I spoke to in the polyamorous community seems to prioritise each other's feelings to a very high standard - higher than most monogamous couples I know. https://t.co/LoBIxRDzFF

@Bristol_People Yes, more cycle lanes are really needed. Bristol is better than lots of cities across the UK I've cycled in. But as a country, we have long way to go. Funding should hopefully follow the more people who take it up.

[Emma Lidiard @Elidiard]

So many people talk about feeling helpless in the face of the climate crisis - so it was really nice to speak to parents who are quietly doing their bit to reduce their carbon footprint. Good debate for your show @theJeremyVine https://t.co/xOk14xVjtn
