Over 1,000 people are feared dead after a fierce cyclone ripped through Mozambique. Around 90 percent of the city of Beira has been destroyed and the rains keep coming. Also, the US's top diplomat for Africa meets with Cameroon's Paul Biya - we look at what they discussed. And Sierra Leone tries to get its electricity supply in shipshape by generating supply for Freetown from a Turkish vessel berthed in the capital's seas.

That cyclone was severe but it has been gone. In the Midwest US the flood waters are still high and is full thick ice. One farmer had 7000 pigs and was able to save 14 the rest drowned. It's time to plant 2019 crops. Flood waters still high and full of thick ice. Less food to share

US Midwest is under severe floods and the stored up food supply is ruined. Snow hasn't melt yet. 2019 food can't grow in severe frozen soggy dirt. What country going to help the US? Seriously

lightnin bolt, you want us to get excited about a cyclone when 50 people have been murdered while at prayer in New Zealand, another 3 murdered on a Tram in Holland plus many wounded and heaven only knows what is around the corner? A cyclone is awful but it is a natural phenomenon, not one man turning on his fellow humans and cutting them down...get a little perspective.

And the white man comes to the rescue with food aid and rescue.
