Flash Floods Hit the US State of Utah Causing Deaths

Flash floods hit Utah; The ocean on the 'brink of collapse'; The highly automated farm

Officials in the US state of Utah say three people have died and four are missing after heavy rain caused flash floods that coursed through a narrow canyon. The group had set out to explore canyons in Zion National Park shortly before the rain began. On Monday, twelve people died when floodwater swept away two vehicles.

Humans catch fish faster than they can reproduce... and the ocean is on the 'brink of collapse' - that's according to a WWF report. The study found that sea creatures halved between 1970 and 2012 and the decline may be the steepest in the fish we need for the global food supply. Marco Lambertini, Director General of WWF International speaks to Newsday.

We travel to Glasgow to have a look around the most highly automated farm in the UK, where a herd of 250 cows can be looked after by just one person.
