A federal appeals court says the U.S. Transportation Department wrongly decided to withhold nearly $74 million in highway money from New York state after it refused to revoke nearly 33,000 questionable commercial driver’s licenses for immigrants. The 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Manhattan ruled Friday. It said the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, an arm of the Transportation Department, acted in a manner that was “arbitrary, capricious, or contrary to law.” It said new tougher rules governing the licenses were not in place and that New York state had followed the rules that existed at the time. Neither the federal government nor New York state immediately commented about the ruling.

Spain’s transport minister announced his resignation following a deadly train collision south of Madrid that killed 69 people. Óscar Puente made the announcement after addressing lawmakers about the crash, which was the second such incident this year. The Oct. 28 crash occurred when a high-speed train collided with another that had stopped on the tracks. The communication system had failed, leading to the disaster. Earlier Tuesday, Puente announced new safety measures, including improvements in control centers and a faster rollout of the European Rail Traffic Management System. The crash has raised concerns about the safety of Spain’s rail network.
Spaniards have long favored high-speed trains for travel, but two deadly collisions in nine months have shaken confidence in the system. A recent crash in central Spain killed 69 people, prompting strikes and demands for improved rail safety. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez acknowledges the need to restore trust in the railways. Spain's high-speed network, second only to China in miles of track, has transformed travel, making it the most common mode for business and leisure. However, investment in high-speed rail has come at the expense of slower commuter services, leading to complaints about worsening conditions and delays.
Spain faces fresh concerns about rail safety after a second high-speed train crash this year killed 68 people. The collision Wednesday involved a RENFE train striking a stationary IRYO train in Toledo. Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez visited the site and pledged an investigation. This crash comes just weeks before a national election, adding pressure on Sánchez's government. Transport Minister Óscar Puente said human error caused the latest crash, citing an “inexplicable” order from a central command. Three days of mourning were declared.
