Central European Floods
The floodwaters have reached Hungary where frantic defense work is underway. There is a sense of siege in the capital Budapest, where river levels are expected to be at their highest early on Monday. Forecasters say levels could rise up to 8.85m (29ft) - about 25cm (10in) higher than the Danube's previous record high in 2006. In a worst-case scenario up to 55,000 people may need to be evacuated.
