Mozambique: three days of national mourning for the victims of Cyclone Idai

Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

Mozambique is starting three days of national mourning for the more than two-hundred people killed by Cyclone Idai which has wreaked havoc across south-eastern Africa. A BBC reporter in the coastal town of Beir, which was smashed by the storm, says more than one-hundred-thousand people are feared missing.

Also in the programme: New Zealand's prime minister tells the BBC that right-wing ideology must be confronted after the mosque attacks; and the British government says it will seek only a short delay when it asks the EU to postpone Brexit.
