More than 150 people have been killed in devastating floods in eastern Spain, with some areas receiving a month's worth of rain in a single day. The floods have trapped thousands of people and left others missing. The authorities have deployed security forces to guard against looting, with 39 people arrested in one operation. In other news, the role of women in the upcoming US election is being closely watched, with white female voters split between the two candidates. Vice President Kamala Harris is inching ahead among this demographic, but white female Democrats are trying to encourage women of all races to vote for the female candidate. Finally, Russia has made significant territorial gains in Ukraine over the past month, with analysts suggesting that this progress will help secure the Russian Army's flanks before launching an assault on the city of Pokrovsk.
