Indian train derails, killing 77
At least 77 people have been killed when a passenger train derailed in southern India after flood waters washed away part of the track.

Rescue workers are still searching for people trapped in some carriages which fell into flood waters caused by heavy rains in the area in recent days.

The accident happened early in the morning in the state of Andhra Pradesh, south of the state capital Hyderabad.

Heavy rains have claimed more than 100 lives in southern India this week.
