Protests after Libya floods

Hundreds of protesters in Derna are demanding answers after last week's flooding.

Hundreds of protesters in Derna are demanding answers after last week's flooding. They gathered on Monday evening at the city's landmark Sahaba Mosque, some crying and chanting for top officials in Libya's eastern government to be sacked. More than 10,000 people are officially missing after two old and dilapidated dams burst, flooding the city. At least 4,000 people have died. We get the latest from our corespondent and speak to people who survived the distaster.

Elon Musk has suggested that all users of X, formerly called Twitter, may have to pay for access to the platform. We hear from Twitter users about whether they'd be prepared to pay a small monthly fee to use the social network.

And we speak to the teenager who has set a new Guinness World Record for the longest hair on a male teenager. Sidakdeep Singh Chahal's hair measures 146 centimetres long.
