Floods have swept through Valencia on Spain鈥檚 eastern coast, causing death and destruction in their wake. It鈥檚 the worst flooding in Europe this century. More than 200 people have died and many are still missing - it is the country鈥檚 deadliest natural disaster in recent memory. There is widespread anger over the government鈥檚 response, and when Spain鈥檚 king and queen visited the town of Paiporta, they were met with protesters and even had mud thrown at them.

We speak to 大象传媒 journalist Iqra Farooq, who has just been to the area. She tells us about the devastating scenes she saw, and the anger people are feeling. The 大象传媒鈥檚 Mimi Swaby has been speaking to the mayor of Paiporta, Maribel Albalat, who told her she was shocked by the violence, but that she understood "the frustration and desperation of the people".

And we speak to Stav Danaos from 大象传媒 Weather, who explains the Dana phenomenon that caused the flooding and how climate change made it worse.
