Rescue teams, including specialized personnel from Spain's Military Emergencies Unit, are searching the wreckage following a collision between a high-speed AVE train and an Iryo train in Toledo. The incident occurred near Urda and Los Yébenes on the Madrid-Andalusia line, causing two carriages to derail down an embankment.

Reported casualty figures remain fluid, with sources citing between 30 and at least 64 fatalities alongside approximately 150 injuries. Castilla-La Mancha Regional President Emiliano García-Page warned that authorities "expect more fatalities" as search dogs and technical crews clear the site.

The disaster has renewed scrutiny regarding Transport Minister Óscar Puente's past safety claims that "the probability of another accident is extremely low."

US President Donald Trump announced a decision to delay the implementation of tariffs on imported robotics, industrial machinery, and associated components. Rather than immediately applying duty rates on these goods, the administration has instructed officials to initiate negotiations with foreign trade partners.

The pause affects a critical sector encompassing automated manufacturing technology and capital equipment. By opting for discussions over immediate import duties, the administration aims to address trade concerns through diplomatic channels. Further details regarding the timeline for the negotiations or specific target countries were not immediately made public.

Major media organizations, including CNN, MSNBC, and Politico, have expanded their ongoing legal action against the Trump administration regarding press access. The outlets amended their federal lawsuit to request court orders granting journalists access to additional presidential venues, including Air Force One and the Oval Office.

The initial legal challenge centered on the administration's decisions to revoke hard press passes and restrict journalists from White House grounds and press briefings. By broadening their court filing, the news organizations are seeking judicial intervention to secure broader access rights for reporters covering presidential movements and events across all standard press locations.
