Mourners have attended the funeral of Diogo Jota and his brother André Silva in their hometown of Gondomar, Portugal.

Family members and leading football figures were seen filing into the church, as hundreds gathered outside to pay their respects.

The brothers died in a car crash in Spain on Thursday - officials say it went off the road due to a tyre blowout while overtaking another vehicle.

The Liverpool forward, 28, married his long-term partner just 11 days before the crash - they have three children.

A major search and rescue operation has continued through the night in Texas after flash floods killed at least 24 people and left many girls missing from a Christian summer camp.

Rescue crews are still searching for up to 25 children who were among the 750 girls attending the Camp Mystic just outside the town of Kerrville 104km (64 miles) north-west of San Antonio.

There was little warning as the Guadalupe River rose 26 feet (7.9m) in less than an hour and flooding that followed swept away mobile homes, vehicles and holiday cabins.

A state of emergency has been declared in several counties where several roads have been washed away and phone lines are down.

Prada brand has acknowledged the Indian roots of its new footwear line, after the design sparked a controversy in India.

The sandals, showcased at the Milan Fashion Week, had an open-toe braided pattern that closely resembled the traditional Kolhapuri sandals made in the Indian states of Maharashtra and Karnataka.

The luxury fashion brand described the sandals as “leather footwear” but did not mention its Indian origins, prompting backlash and allegations of cultural appropriation in India.

Prada said that it recognises that the sandals are inspired by traditional Indian footwear.

The US Congress has passed Donald Trump's tax and spending bill in a significant and hard-fought victory for the president and his domestic agenda.

It's a bill that's sparked intense debate, with the Congressional Budget Office estimating it could add $3.3tn (£2.4tn) to federal deficits over the next 10 years.

The US president however said: "This is going to be a great bill for the country."
