BBC World Service - Weekend, Hurricane Harvey Hits Texas

Hurricane Harvey, the strongest storm to strike Texas since 1961, reaches the One Star State’s coast. We report direct from Corpus Christi, which is bearing the brunt of its winds. 

Also in the programme: A look ahead to Sunday’s much-hyped Floyd Mayweather/Conor McGregor boxing match; BBC Pidgin - the World Service’s latest language service.
