At Least 600 Still Missing in Sierra Leone

At least 600 people are still missing following flooding in Sierra Leone

Sierra Leone needs "urgent support" for thousands of people hit by mudslides and massive flooding in the capital, the country's president says. Ernest Bai Koroma said entire communities had been wiped out and that the "devastation was overwhelming us".

US President Donald Trump has again blamed both sides for the violent unrest in Charlottesville, Virginia, which left one protester dead and others injured. In a statement on Monday, he had condemned white supremacists. But in New York on Tuesday he also blamed left-wing supporters for charging at the "alt-right".
