Thirty-nine people have been killed and 152 have been injured after two trains collided in southern Spain on Sunday in what the prime minister, Pedro Sánchez, called “a night of deep pain” for the country. A high-speed train from Malaga to Madrid derailed and smashed into another oncoming train, pushing the second train off the tracks and down an embankment.
