> At least 68 people died in Wednesday’s rail collision in Spain. The transport minister said a train was mistakenly ordered to proceed despite a technical failure that had stopped all services. Initial findings from the crash in central Castilla-La Mancha may renew questions about rail safety, after a high-speed collision in January killed 46.
