Flash floods in Spain have killed at least 166 people, with the eastern region of Valencia particularly badly hit.

We speak to the Independent Schools Council, which is bringing a legal challenge against the government’s plan to charge VAT on private school fees. And a portrait of Alan Turing becomes the first robot-made artwork to go on sale at Sotheby’s.
