Record-breaking floods - a podcast by triple j

Eight lives have been lost so far as South East Queensland copped a "rain bomb" over the weekend in a disastrous weather event.

Tens of thousands are without power, more than 18,000 homes have been flooded, and hundreds have been rescued from dangerous waters.

NSW has been battered too - with an evacuation warning for the entire Northern Rivers region. Floodwaters in Lismore hit record levels.

Plus, the Russian invasion of Ukraine continues, with a wave of attacks on the weekend. Hundreds of people, including children, have been killed so far.
