Floods leave trail of death and debris

GIANT cranes lifted ruined cars and other debris out of the Black Sea yesterday after 58 people, mostly Russian holiday-makers, died in torrential floods.

As the sun shone for the first time in days, workers searched the coastline for more bodies among the wreckage.

Russia suffered most from the floods that swept across Europe last week, killing 68 people, destroying homes and washing away roads and bridges.
