Flood fears for quake-hit China

Fears are growing for millions of people in south-west China who could now be at risk of flooding just two weeks after a deadly earthquake struck.

Dozens of 'quake lakes' formed as landslides triggered by the earthquake blocked rivers in the Sichuan province.

Heavy rain is now causing water levels to rise and officials are warning that several dams and lakes across the province may be in danger of bursting.
