Libya floods: 10,000 missing

Aid supplies have been flown into eastern Libya from neighbouring Egypt.

More than 2,000 people are reported dead in Libya after a storm triggered devastating floods. Much of Derna, a city home to 100,000 people, is under water after two dams and four bridges collapsed. The death toll from the city alone stands at more than 1,500. At least 10,000 people are missing, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies says. We hear about the people affected and speak to our correspondent in the region.

There have been tense exchanges during an unprecedented hearing involving all fifteen members of Israel's Supreme Court on a key part of the government's judicial overhaul. We speak to our correspondent in Jerusalem.

We go to Washington where the most senior Republican in the US Congress, Kevin McCarthy, says he has ordered House committees to begin a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden.

The former world number one, Simona Halep, has been banned from women's tennis for four years for breaching anti-doping rules. Our sports reporter explains.
