US Storm: Catastrophic Flooding

Authorities warn of "life-threatening flooding" caused by Hurricane Harvey. As winds slow forty inches of rain are forecast for some areas, during the worst storm to hit the US for over a decade. Also, government forces in Myanmar open fire on Rohingya villagers, tensions are still high in India after the conviction of a popular guru, and LGBT communities in Serbia hope attitudes will change after the appointment of the country's first gay prime minister.
