Four dead as floods sweep southern Germany

CGTN

Rescuers battled Monday to evacuate people from floods in southern Germany that have claimed four lives, as Chancellor Olaf Scholz called it a "warning" that climate change was getting worse. 

Thousands of people in the regions of Bavaria and Baden-Wuerttemberg had to leave their homes since torrential rain on Friday sparked deadly flooding. 

More evacuations were called overnight into Monday as the huge volumes of water caused flood defences to fail.
