Dozens dead in German floods, hundreds missing

Newsday

Available for over a year

German Chancellor Angela Merkel has vowed the government would do its utmost to help the victims. Can peace be negotiated in Afghanistan? We’ll hear from the government’s chief negotiator ahead of talks with the Taliban, later today. And Australia is bringing ambassadors - including those from China - to snorkel in the Great Barrier Reef. It's all part of a lobbying effort to keep the area off the World Heritage site’s endangered list.
