In Italy, ten people, including a family of nine, have died in floods around Palermo on the southern island of Sicily. Rescuers today said the bodies of the family, including three children, were found in their house in Casteldaccia next to a small river which had burst its banks.
They said a man was found dead in his car while two other people are missing, as Italy grapples with fierce storms which have already claimed at least 20 lives this week.
