BBC World Service - Newshour, Search continues as over 170 confirmed dead in European floods

Over one thousand people are still missing

Many people are still missing as record rainfall led to severe floods in Germany and Belgium. A major rescue effort is ongoing.

German President Frank- Walter Steinmeier visited some of the worst hit areas and said that Germany stood together in the time of need.

Also in the programme: the winner of this year’s Palm D’Or at the Cannes Film Festival which has divided critics; and the world’s rarest postage stamp.
