Freak weather kills German farmer

A storm that hit parts of south-western Germany, bringing with it hailstones almost as big as tennis balls, killed one farmer and injured more than 100 people.

In Villingen-Schwenningen, meanwhile, police said about 100 people suffered slight injuries - mostly cuts to the head - as they were struck by hailstones, which also damaged several cars.
