Communities in Eastern Spain have been devastated by flooding that's killed at least 158 people. Rescuers are now searching for bodies. The Valencia region has been the hardest hit, with widespread destruction to roads and railways. Europe correspondent Vincent McAviney told Ryan Bridge there were some warnings about strong rainfall. But, he says, people are saying there should've been more of a response when the rain fell, to alert people to get off the roads and get to higher ground. McAviney

A free trade deal with the Middle East countries belonging to the Gulf Cooperation Council has come at the right time for exporters. The FTA's expected to provide a sizable boost to the annual $3 billion of two-way trade. If treated as one country, all six countries —including Saudi Arabia and the UAE— would be New Zealand's seventh-largest export destination by value. Former trade negotiator Charles Finny told Ryan Bridge the timing couldn't be better. He says the demand for exports into China is

Another season of sport, another season of sideline abuse. Police are investigating a serious assault made on a female football coach in September. The Ellerslie FC volunteer was attacked by a male supporter of the opposing team following an under-10s game.

What could have been a win for the Democrats has become a bit of a storm in a teacup. The Trump campaign received a huge amount of backlash after a comedian suggested that Puerto Rico is a floating island of garbage.

A sustainable method of producing jet-fuel could be on the horizon for New Zealand air carriers. A study commissioned by Air New Zealand found it's possible to create jet fuel out of forestry industry waste like sawdust, slash, and offcuts.

I'm getting really angry reading these stories about violence in New Zealand, and I don't think that harsher sentences are going to stop them. I don't think that the gang patch ban is going to stop them, I don't think that wraparound services are going to stop them either. I'm talking here about Palmerston North's emergency Department yesterday, daylight doctors are at work, nurses are there.

There's hopes rural communities will be considered before changes are made to NZ Post's services. Options include dropping to delivering two days a week in urban areas, instead of three, and going from five times a week in rural areas down to three. Additionally, postal outlets will be reduced from 880 to 500. Rural Women CEO Marie Fitzpatrick says postal services are essential for rural communities that don't always have access to broadband.
