The region’s president responds to criticisms that he was slow to act by attacking the prime minister

The sun still hadn’t risen on Tuesday 29 October when the mayor of Utiel, Ricardo Gabaldón, took another look at the warnings from Spain’s state meteorological office and ordered all the schools in the small Valencian town to close.

“The warning early that morning – at 5am or 6am – was orange,” he said. “That’s when I was weighing up whether to close the schools here. In the end, I ordered them to close at six or seven that morning. Soon after, the alert went red.”

2nd over: Australia 18-0 (Short 5, Fraser-McGurk 7) Naseem Shah almost gets a breakthrough from just his second delivery as Fraser-McGurk edges between second and third slip. That one reared up at the Australian opener and he was fortunate the nick was as thick as it was, but will gladly pocket the four runs as well. JFM works a couple off his pads then survives a half-hearted appeal for run out to round out the over.

1st over: Australia 12-0 (Short 5, Fraser-McGurk 1) A loose first over from Shaheen Shah Afridi allows the Australian pair to get on the front foot as Matt Short and Jake Fraser-McGurk each get off the mark with a quick single. A wild delivery sails between first and second slip all the way to the boundary for five wides, Shah sends another wide heading to first slip, and Short finishes the over with four all-run off a sublime drive. Just the start Australia needed.

With votes still being counted from the 5 November general election, Republicans had won 212 seats in the 435-member House, according to Edison Research, which projected on Friday night that Republican Jeff Hurd had enough votes to keep Republican control of Colorado’s third congressional district.
