Despair and anger in Texas flood zone
Rescuers are still searching, people are still missing and questions are being asked.
The governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, says emergency workers will be relentless in their search for everyone missing after catastrophic flash floods. At least 27 girls from a Christian summer camp are unaccounted for. More than 50 people are known to have died. There is a lot of anger that, for some Texans, official flood warnings came too late.
Also in the programme: Israel and Hamas are due to begin indirect talks in Qatar on a potential ceasefire and hostage release deal; and billionaire Elon Musk gives a name to his new political party: "The America Party".
