Train Crash in Denmark
Six people have been killed and 16 injured in a train accident on the Great Belt Bridge in Denmark.
Six people have been killed and 16 injured in a train accident on the Great Belt Bridge in Denmark. Rail network officials said debris from a freight train - possibly a tarpaulin - hit a commuter train during a heavy storm, forcing it to brake suddenly. We speak to an eyewitness.
We also speak to our reporter in Washington in the United States, where former Republican US presidential candidate Mitt Romney says Donald Trump has caused dismay around the world.
And we go to Bangladesh, where Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has secured her third consecutive term with a landslide victory in the national election. But as our reporter on the ground explains, the result is still disputed by some.
