Manage episode 448191493 series 1301439
The Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has deployed 10,000 extra troops to the area of Valencia, where record-breaking floods have killed 211 people. It is the country's largest peacetime deployment of troops. We take a look at how environmental factors might have contributed to the disaster.
Also in the programme: a strike has injured a number of people at a polio vaccine clinic in Gaza City; and was the COP16 successful in setting out measures to protect biodiversity?
