Libya floods: Calls for investigation
There's growing criticism of the authorities in eastern Libya in the wake of floods.
Libyans are demanding an urgent inquiry into the devastating floods that have destroyed much of the city of Derna, killing thousands of people. Many are blaming the authorities for failing to maintain and restore infrastructure. The disaster was caused by two dams giving way. We speak to our correspondent in the region and to medical students who have been organising help to the disaster area. We also hear from a Libyan student in Egypt who lost family members in the floods.
An in the aftermath of the earthquake in Morocco, we speak to one man whose village is in the affected area in the Atlas Mountains
