BBC visits Beijing region hit by deadly flood


At least 30 people have died in Beijing as northern China experiences days of heavy rain and flooding.

The BBC’s Stephen McDonell is in Miyun, northeast of Beijing, where authorities have mobilised the People’s Armed Police to assist in the mountain areas affected by the severe weather.

China’s leader Xi Jinping has called for an “all-out” search and rescue for those missing in the floods, as almost 80,000 people have been relocated from across China’s capital.
