An emergency has been declared in 3 towns after a week of torrential rain has triggered flooding in Southern Brazil.
The floods have forced 6000 people out of their homes, with most of those evacuated in Rio Grande do Sul.
The floods have come just in time for the World Cup knock-out round in Brazil, but fortunately the Brazil-Chile match in Belo Horizonte and the Uruguay-Colombia match in Rio de Janeiro on Saturday will not be affected.
