More Australian evacuations

Police have ordered the evacuation of parts of Australia's third largest city, Brisbane, as the biggest floods in years approach the Queensland state capital.



Residents have been told to leave their homes in low-lying areas.



The waters are rising fast and one local official said he saw the river level go up by over 4 feet in just an hour.



At least eight people have been killed and more than 70 are missing.



At least two of the dead were children.
