BBC World Service - Newshour, Australia floods

Area north of Sydney experiences worst flooding in a century.

About 1000 people in the western suburbs of Sydney have been urged to evacuate their homes so far today. Dams have overflowed and some houses have been swept away. More rain is forecast for days to come.  

Also on the programme: a best selling crime novelist and a former policewoman discuss how to make the streets safe for women; and an asteroid almost a kilometre in diameter will pass close to earth today.
