Floods and mudslides keep Colombia on alert

Heavy rains and risks of mudslides have kept most of Colombia on high alert.

On Wednesday, President Juan Manuel Santos toured the affected areas and asked the residents to take preventive measures.

In Honda, many homes were almost completely submerged by the overflowing Magdalena river.

Santos visited the town of Utica where a mudslide caused damages to at least 120 houses.

The government says 80 people have died in different incidents related to the rains this year.
