Torrential monsoon rains have triggered devastating flash floods in a popular mountain village in southern New Mexico, leaving at least three people missing and sweeping an entire house downstream on Tuesday.

Emergency crews have since carried out at least 85 swift water rescues in the Ruidoso area, freeing residents trapped in their homes and cars, according to Danielle Silva of the New Mexico Department of Homeland Security and Emergency Management.

While no fatalities have been immediately reported, three individuals were taken to hospital and are said to be in a stable condition, Kerry Gladden, public information officer for Ruidoso, confirmed.

The Princess of Wales stunned at her first state banquet in nearly two years, wearing a dark red silk creponne Givenchy evening gown on Tuesday evening (8 July).

Kate joined the King, Queen Camilla and the Prince of Wales at Windsor Castle as part of the French state visit to the UK.

Her gown, from the French fashion house and designed by her wedding dress creator Sarah Burton, was a diplomatic nod to the King’s guests, French President Emmanuel Macron and First Lady Brigitte Macron.

Footage shows Kate seated next to President Macron, with the pair chatting ahead of the start of the King’s toast.

It was her first banquet since November 2023, after her cancer diagnosis in early 2024. She is now in remission.

Emmanuel Macron sparked laughter during his UK state visit where he met King Charles, Queen Camilla, and Sir Keir Starmer for bilateral talks and an Anglo-French summit.

The French president told guests at the state banquet on Tuesday (8 July): "Please do not misunderstand me. I'm not going so far as to say that England gave birth to the French Revolution. We love monarchy especially when it’s not at home."

A fast-moving wildfire continued to spread in southern France on Tuesday and reached “the gates of” Marseille, the mayor warned, prompting the closure of the city’s airport and an order to residents to stay indoors.

The fire near France's second most populous city has burned through 700 hectares (1,730 acres) and is considered to be under control, even though it is still burning, regional prefect Georges-Francois Leclerc said, but a forecast of strong winds meant there was a risk it could advance further.

About 10 buildings have been at least partly hit by the fire, but no fatalities have been reported, and hundreds of homes have been saved by firefighters, he said.

The King has spoken of the deepening co-operation between the UK and France that will protect against “profound challenges” such as terrorism, organised crime and “irregular migration” across the English Channel.

In a speech marking President Emmanuel Macron’s three-day state visit to the UK, Charles highlighted a summit between Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer and the French leader when commentators expect the issue of small boats to be top of the agenda.

The King also spoke of the growing environmental threat where the “very future of our planet hangs in the balance” and the UK and France have a “critical role to play”.
