Brienz evacuated again

The village of Brienz in Graubünden has been sealed off to its residents once again.

A massive rockfall in June two years ago means the village has not been lived in for that time, but recently home owners and farmers were allowed back during the day to check on their houses and cultivate their land. 

But yesterday, they were ordered out again as around half a million cubic metres of rock on the side of the mountain seems to be on the move. 

Geologists are now trying to determine the extent of the danger.
