BBC World Service - Newshour, 'Worst floods in decades' hit Kazakhstan and Russia

Mass evacuations continue amid the worst flooding in eighty years

Mass evacuations continue in Russia's southern Urals and in Kazakhstan, amid the worst flooding in eighty years.

Unseasonably warm temperatures in southern Russia and Kazakhstan have triggered fast-melting snow, causing unprecedented high rivers and flooding close to major cities. We speak to residents in Kazakhstan's badly affected areas. 



Also in the programme: Arizona Supreme Court reinstates near-total abortion ban from 1864; and we hear about the contentious reform adopted by the EU parliament to adopt stricter migration rules and shared responsibility.
