China floods: 25 dead and thousands evacuated

Record levels of rainfall in China has led to flooding across Henan province. At least 25 people have died and over 200,000 have been evacuated from the area. People have also died after flooding trapped them in underground railway tunnels. In the provincial capital Zhengzhou, the equivalent of a year's average rainfall has fallen in just three days. We'll hear from people in the city who have been affected and speak to our correspondent for the latest updates.

Also, it's been a week since flooding in Europe killed at least 180 people. People in the worst affected regions of Germany and Belgium are now facing the clean-up, and starting to rebuild their homes and businesses. We'll speak to two people who were hugely affected by the floods to hear how they feel about what happened and their futures.

And every day on we are joined by a health expert to answer your questions about Covid-19, the pandemic and the vaccine. Today our guest is Dr Maria Sundaram - infectious disease epidemiologist in Canada.
