Deadly floods hit Georgian capital

Heavy floods sweep through Georgia's capital Tbilisi.

At least four people were killed after heavy rainfall on Sunday brought on the deluge.

All four of the victims lived in a house that was suddenly swept away by a swollen river.

Two of those killed were children.

Emergency workers have evacuated dozens of other people to safety - but hundreds of cars and buses have been left stranded and submerged.

The heavy rains also caused landslides, and transformed small brooks into raging torrents.

Georgia's Emergency Ministry said its staff were on "high alert" after the National Weather Centre forecast more rains across the country.
