PSG’s run to the final has justified a shift in direction from the bling culture of superstar signings to focus more on young French talent.

The death toll is in reality likely to be higher, said Al Jazeera’s Ahmed Idris, reporting from Mokwa.“The usual thing is when an official tells you 151 are dead or missing, you are likely to multiply that by two, three or four,” said Idris.

Several homes, over 300 of them, were washed away or completely destroyed by the flood waters,” said Idris, as clothes and residents’ other belongings lied scattered in piles across the ground.While the prime minister’s office and about a dozen ministries have moved to Sejong over the years as part of successive governments’ decentralisation efforts, Seoul has remained not only the official capital but also the centre of political, economic and cultural life.
