The governor of Texas, Greg Abbott, says emergency workers will be relentless in their search for everyone missing after catastrophic flash floods. At least 27 girls from a Christian summer camp are unaccounted for. More than 50 people are known to have died. There is a lot of anger that, for some Texans, official flood warnings came too late.
Also in the programme: Israel and Hamas are due to begin indirect talks in Qatar on a potential ceasefire and hostage release deal; and billionaire Elon Musk gives a name to his new political party: "The America Party".
