Catastrophic flooding across western Europe as politicians blame climate change – BBC News
More than 120 people have died and hundreds are still missing after record rainfall caused the worst flooding in parts of Western Europe for many decades.
In Germany dozens of people were unaccounted for, with the Chancellor Angela Merkel describing the floods as a catastrophe.
Torrential rain has also devastated parts of Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg.
Survivors have described the terrifying speed at which water levels rose.
Some politicians in Germany say the extreme weather is the result of global warming and they’re calling for more urgent action to counter climate change.
Clive Myrie presents BBC News at Ten reporting – from Jenny Hill in Erftstadt, Germany – Anna Holligan in the Dutch town of Valkenberg – and chief environment correspondent Justin Rowlatt on the threat posed by climate change.

Two Wildberries warehouses were hit by Ukrainian strikes overnight on Monday, with another site apparently linked to Russia’s largest online retailer also damaged near Moscow.
Ukraine has been targeting facilities operated by the company – often dubbed the “Russian Amazon” – in recent weeks.
At least five people were killed and 10 more injured at an industrial site about 69km (43 miles) south of the Kremlin, local officials said, without confirming it was run by Wildberries.
Elsewhere, officials did confirm two other Wildberries sites were hit in the St Petersburg and Tver regions.
Kyiv says the depots supply the Russian military, which Moscow denies.

Scottish 50m breaststroke holder Archie Goodburn has asked UK Prime Minister Andy Burnham to invest more money and resources into brain cancer research.
The 25-year-old was diagnosed with inoperable brain tumours just over two years ago and has since passionately advocated for an increased focus on the disease.
“Andy Burnham, if you believe and want to make a change and a difference to the future of our country and our young population, please listen to us,” Goodburn said.

At least five people were killed and 10 more injured in a Ukrainian drone strike on a warehouse close to Moscow overnight on Monday, the region’s governor has said.
The official did not specify what had been targeted but Ukraine has been carrying out strikes on facilities operated by Wildberries in recent weeks, often dubbed the “Russian Amazon”.
Kyiv says the depots are used to supply the Russian military, which Moscow denies.
Local officials also said Wildberries warehouses were targeted in the St Petersburg and Tver regions overnight.
Russia also launched strikes against parts of Ukraine, killing at least four and injuring several people.

The president of Fifa, Gianni Infantino, is under increasing pressure over his now-cancelled plan to sell stakes in the World Cup and other tournaments.
The European football confederation UEFA has said it has no confidence in him, and is threatening legal action. The football associations of Wales, Finland, Sweden and Serbia have withdrawn their support for his re-election as president, and England’s football association is set to follow suit.
The BBC’s sports reporter Joe Lynskey tells us how Mr Infantino has won favour with football authorities over his decade running Fifa – and what it will take for him to hang on now.
We also hear about Infantino’s close relationship with US President Donald Trump, whose extended family was linked to Fifa’s partial privatisation plans. The main investor was due to be Joshua Kushner, whose brother Jared Kushner is President Trump’s son-in-law.
