| More than 50,000 people in
southern China have been moved
from their homes after the
heaviest rains in years led to
flooding and swollen rivers in
recent days. Xinhua news
agency said 47,000 people were
moved in Rongshui county of
Guangxi region after the Rong
river burst its banks,
inundating farmlands and
destroying homes. Another
7,500 people were evacuated
from below Guangxi's Kama
reservoir, where workers were
trying to repair damaged dykes
that were threatening to
burst, it said. Torrential
rains have pummelled south
central China over the last
week, leaving dozens dead or
missing.
