Twelve Dead, Zoo Animals Loose After Floods

At least twelve people have died and 24 others are missing after heavy rainfall and floods in Georgia.
Rain turned the Vere river, which flows through the capital Tbilisi, into a torrent that swept away dozens of buildings and cars.
Animals from the city's zoo, including tigers, lions, bears and wolves, escaped from cages damaged by the rainfall.
Three zoo workers are among the dead.
Dozens of families have been left without shelter and thousands have no water or electricity.
An escaped hippopotamus was cornered in one of the city's main squares and subdued with a tranquiliser gun.

An AFP journalist has seen the corpse of a lion and a pony lying on a road close to the zoo.
Some other animals have been located, but it remains unclear how many are on the loose.
Zoo spokeswoman Mzia Sharashidze told the InterPressNews agency the facility has been turned into a "hellish whirlpool".
She said: "Some 20 wolves, eight lions, white tigers, tigers, jackals, jaguars have either been shot dead by special forces or are missing.
"Only three out of our 17 penguins were saved."
Residents are being told to stay inside as zoo workers try to locate them, with helicopters circling the city of around 1.1 million people.
A hotline has been set up for residents to tell the emergency services if they spot any of the animals.
There are no reports that any of the fatalities were due to animal attacks.
The zoo said one of those who died was Guliko Chitadze, a zookeeper who lost an arm in an attack by a tiger last month.
