Well, I wouldn't normally start a program sitting in a high-velocity Spanish train.

I'm making my way from Madrid to Belencia.

But this train is one of the first to cover this route in almost two weeks

since the weather phenomenon called the Dana

hit the Valencia region. Massive flooding and the loss of over 200 lives have left this region

not only devastated but also broken emotionally. In two hours it was like the water on my chest. I've lost almost everything. I've saved some

things, but the whole house is like mud with mud yet. Hello and welcome to Business Daily. I'm

Ashihama. Valencia is one of the major cities of Spain. The region is home to

Paella and specialises in growing the small-grained rice that's used to make the dish. It's also Spain's

heartland for citrus fruit and vegetable production. For this program, I visited Valencia shortly

after the Dana hit the region at the end of October.

The interviews featured were made at the time and reflect the damage in the immediate aftermath.

In my visit, I spoke to business leaders and companies that had been affected.

We are still revising the material and there are so many things that you think it will be okay,

but it was awful.

And to farmers facing a task of cleaning up their fields in the hope of getting things back on track for next year.

Many rural roads have been destroyed, many fields have been destroyed.

We haven't been able to assess them because we haven't been able to reach all of them.

So we can't quantify how serious this has been.

All that to come and this edition of Business Daily.

Well, this is clean now.

Oh, my goodness.
