> A high-speed train struck another train stopped on the tracks in Toledo, killing at least 68 people and injuring dozens. It was Spain’s second deadly rail collision this year. Transport Minister Óscar Puente said the crash followed an “inexplicable” order from the rail system’s central command centre after a safety system failed.
