At least 21 people have died in southern Brazil after a fierce storm that caused floods in several cities. Brazilian TV footage showed the city of Taquari under a huge amount of water after the Taquari River burst its banks.
The governor of Rio Grande do Sul, Eduardo Leite, said the death toll was the state's highest due to a climate event, adding that about 60 cities had been battered by the storm, which was classified as an extratropical cyclone
