Rescuers are still searching for survivors1 of a massive explosion at a power plant in the US state of Connecticut. Up to 50 people were reportedly feared dead and dozens more have been injured. It's believed the explosion was caused by a ruptured2 gas pipeline3. And the blast was felt up to 30 kilometers away.

 

A new poll has found that more people support Tony Abbott's climate plan than the government's ETS. Forty-five percent of those polled by Nielsen support the emissions4 reduction fund while 39% want an ETS.

 

"If you come up with a plan that puts up the price of things, so people cannot afford them, so they have to go somewhere else. Quite obviously, you turn people away."

 

The poll also found Kevin Rudd's popularity has slipped six points to 60% ahead of Mr. Abbott on 44%.

 

The Weather Bureau says the torrential rain across Queensland at the weekend has set new records. More than 360 millimeters fell in just 24 hours in some parts of the Gold Coast Hinterland.

 

In other news, Iran’s announced plans to produce a higher grade of uranium, heightening suspicions it's planning to build a nuclear bomb.

 

And former vice5 presidential candidate Sarah Palin says she's open to running for the White House at the next election, but she hasn't made up her mind.

 

And we will have more news later.
