We speak to people affected by the flood in Libya and earthquake in Morocco

We speak to people affected by the flood in Libya and earthquake in Morocco.

In Libya floods have killed more than 5,000 people. The floods burst two dams in the eastern coastal city of Derna and swept away homes. We'll speak to people there affected, including one man who lost 150 members of his family.

We'll also go back to Morocco, where rescue workers continue to try and help the thousands of people affected by the earthquake there. We'll speak to people who have been delivering help into the areas hardest hit.

And we'll get the latest update on Danelo Cavalcante, a convicted murderer who's just been caught after being on the run from a prison in the US.
