Floods kill 140 in India

Floods have hit south India, leaving more than 140 people dead.

After days of heavy rains, relief and rescue teams have moved into the southern states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Kerala.

Rain and thunderstorms led to heavy flooding in many parts of the three states, leaving tens of thousands homeless.

Most of them have been moved to government relief camps but officials say the rain is easing off and they are hoping the situation will soon return to normal.

However the monsoon is now moving up the eastern and western coasts.
