Brazil: Scores die in mudslides
The death toll in Brazil from three days of heavy rain that triggered scores of mudslides reached 50, prompting President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to interrupt his holiday for a national emergency meeting.
A hillside collapsed on three houses and a waterfront lodge on an island resort at Angra dos Reis near Rio de Janeiro, killing at least 19 people, authorities said. Another mudslide killed 11.
