Battle to save homes in China
AdvertisementHeavy rain has led to floods across southern China with thousands evacuated from their homes.
Although seasonal, the rains are particularly heavy this year and disruption is severe.
More than 480 people across nine central and southern provinces have died since the rains began in June. More than 250 people are missing, according to the government.
