At least 44 people were killed in Beijing in rainy weather last week. Weather authorities have now issued new red warnings for Monday and Tuesday morning.

The authorities warn of a risk of flooding in the Miyun district, which was also severely affected last week, as well as Fangshan, Mentougou and Huairou.

31 of last week's deaths occurred at a nursing home in Miyun and local authorities have admitted that there were "gaps" in the disaster preparedness.
