Heavy rain causes heavy flooding in Niger. Many communities and thousands of people are affected - there are many dead.

After many eastern Mediterranean countries, forest fires are now also raging in the south of France. Many people had to be brought to safety.

Below the Zugspitze lies the Höllentalklamm, which is popular with hikers. They can be used to climb Germany's highest mountain. On Monday a tidal wave suddenly rushed through the gorge. There are missing people.

The Höllentalklamm, popular with hikers, is located at the foot of the Zugspitze. You can climb Germany's highest mountain through them. On Monday a tidal wave suddenly rushed through the gorge. There are several missing persons.

Again the forces of nature in Japan cause death and destruction. Record heavy rains caused floods and landslides. Even after the precipitation has subsided, dangers continue to threaten.

In the torrential rains in Japan, more people were probably killed. Eight people were rescued from a landslide in Nagano Prefecture.
