: Rescuers battled Monday to evacuate people from flood zones in southern Germany, as Chancellor Olaf Scholz said this was a “warning” that climate change was getting worse.
More evacuations were called overnight into Monday as the huge volumes of water caused flood defences to fail. Speaking on a visit to Reichertshofen, in a flood-hit area north of Munich, Scholz said that such floods were no longer a “one-off”. Some 20,000 people in Bavaria alone had been deployed to tackle the consequences of the flood, he said.
A search operation to find the missing rescue worker had to be stopped due to the exceptionally high waters and strong currents, local police said. A landslide near Schwaebisch Gmuend overnight into Sunday caused a high-speed train travelling between Stuttgart and Augsburg to derail, blocking the line. Nobody was hurt in the incident.
