Cyclone Idai - Mozambique President Warns of High Death Toll
Mozambique's President Nyusi warns that cyclone might have killed more than 1000 people
Cyclone Idai has left a trail of devastation and death in its wake. Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Malawi have all been badly affected with huge swathes of land under water and buildings and roads destroyed. Mozambique's President Nyusi has warned that more than a thousand people might have died.
Also in the programme: Prime suspect arrested after fatal shootings on a tram in the Dutch city of Utrecht; and the Speaker of the British House of Commons says the UK government can't keep bringing the same Brexit legislation back before legislators, causing further headache for Theresa May's government who were expected to do precisely that later this week.
