hundred eighty kilometers per hour now cycle struck the coast of odessa state and about eight am local time close to the seaside resort town of puri local police have confirmed that two people have died although forecasters say that the psycho's has now begun to weaken authorities evacuated more than a million people in coastal areas ahead of the cyclons arrival fearing that storm searches could endangered their lives. let's bring in now our correspondent who is covering all of this for us from our delhi bureau so michelle just walk us through what is happening right now. the storm hit at eight am on the southern coast of the state of what a shot but it was predicted to doubting on the high wind speeds and danger the sea conditions for six hours those six saws are now over and the storm the cyclist's is has been downgraded since the morning now of course the greetings of cycles depend

on wind speeds and from extremely severe it has already come down to severe the storm is in the cycle it is moving in an ox northeast and that action so from the state the southern part of the state of florida should it's moving towards the state a west bengal i'll bet it is expected to reach to morrow morning and then for proceed on to bangor as it keeps traveling it will keep weakening but authorities are putting out warning saying that people should not become complacent just because the storm is weakening because winds are still expected to be above one hundred kilometers an hour and there has been damage so just walk us through what that has been so far. but already casualties have been reported while the storm is weakening for the casualties could be reported and that has been extensive infrastructure damage people while essential apologies mobilized and away able to evacuate many people the coastal areas the predicted to be very wild bill that all of the images coming out of just how inundated these houses have suffered

damage has been trees being uprooted all across the stands and of course communication and more than a form of boards have also fallen so that we do our assessment of the damage would be possible once the cycle has passed through but already reports are coming in that the course leaders especially have suffered heavy damage ok so there's not only that death toll there's also a significant number of displaced people as well just walk us through how things are likely to develop now over the coming hours over the coming days. well it's already pretty hard to predict exactly when these people will be able. it was done home because conditions to be evaluated on the ground of regular bases but on that front and center the parties have deployed many forces now that india's national disaster response force is actually one of the largest in the world the engine needs the ample scarred autoload to deploy taking care of people on the

ground the indian army and air force are also on standby a medical sources have been deployed as well going to generate buzz out of the to provide electricity because of course there have been pockets so that has been a serious effort from the center from authorities to ensure that people who are this stuff they can get off but when it comes to when they might actually be able to draw home there is no predicting right now they may suggest well with the latest from delhi thank you. meanwhile the eastern african nation of mozambique is struggling to deal with the devastating aftermath of cycling kenneth the storm hit a week ago destroying homes and roads cutting off power and sparking a cholera outbreak in the north of the country now since then people say that they are feeling increasingly frustrated about the government's lack of action and our correspondent we had creech to this this report. has felt somewhat traumatized ever since psych one can have ravaged his will.

by foot. we want our streets back so that we can drive to the city like we used to. asking the government to finally help out. but the government seems to get going as slowly as the bus at least one good thing has happened workers from a chinese company appear in the afternoon and attempts to repair things but they seem to reach their limit soon the mess of destruction can't be repaired quickly at the moment the water level here is rather low but this can change very fast sometimes it's just raining for a few hours very strong and then the water goes up again threatening the communities around. even in parts of the provincial capital the water level is still high meteorologist. in the weather from the station

she is optimistic but can't give an all clear signal yet. this will likely continue to rain over the next few days. probably only lightly. we don't think that the rain in this region will be as strong as it was in the last few days and the police. village of. continues to waited to hope that the government will soon come to help. he hopes for a new house for electricity for the streets to be repaired but most of all he hopes for better weather. let's get a quick check now of some other stories making news around the world the united nations says that north korea has cut food rations to the lowest ever level for the time for this time of year daily allowances are at three hundred grams per person and further cuts are likely north korea has suffered its worst harvest in

that's already the essence of the children that they're there one precedent for every where as journalists we're always materialists has lost the stick to their craft as long as we're going to do our word we will always be sure. and no one can take it away from us media and press freedom probes fragile and fit in your journal this everything is another day to fight and uphold the. well now to venezuela where officials have ordered police have detained influential opposition leader leopoldo lopez days after he escaped from house arrest and led a rally with the self-proclaimed president one of. the well known opponents of venezuelan leader nicolas maduro has taken refuge in the spanish embassy. he's a symbol for venezuela's opposition leader has led the first maija movement against nicolas maduro that was over five years ago the protests ended in failure and

lopez's detention fast forward to tuesday lopez escapes from house arrest he says so just frayed him it's the beginning of the latest military uprising against madeira one that so far has again failed to dislodge venezuela's later right now once more leopoldo lopez he's confined this time to the spanish embassy but the opposition leader says he stay they won't be long because venezuela's leadership he believes is poised to switch sides. i have been meeting with commanders. with generals i have been holding talks with the different factions of the military and we agreed to put an end to this use of patience of power. but nicolas maduro has been trying to show he still commands the troops loti he dressed scores of them at the caracas military academy. on stage with him some of the leadership a signal that they're literally behind him but the leader also sees rebellion in

the ranks but. we cannot give one inch to the traitors to the conspirators we must go on the offensive and be active everyone must follow the command and detain any traitors. still madeira supporters are pine's to sound a harmonious not after dies of turmoil cables. to the tune from the government madeira is still number one but with a low. from assured she states discord could very well be reprised. well now to a piece of news that you can literally sink your teeth into investors had a huge appetite for a big and big and burger weekend burger start up when it made its debut on wall street the imitation me producer beyond me more than doubled its starting price at launch it ended the day at a close of sixty dollars a share with

a market valuation of nearly three point four billion dollars and that's despite the company warning that it may actually never achieve profitability beyond meat is backed by a number of celebrities including the actor leonardo dicaprio and microsoft founder bill gates. we're joined now by monica jones from good of you business we can sink our teeth into this now monica i mean to this is. the good news is that a fad is that a real business is a little bit of both isn't i mean certainly it's been a big trend now for for several years i mean you will have noticed living in germany away being in europe certainly that every supermarket every discount or you have huge shelves now huge display of vegetarian and the good food including vegan meat and that's growing i actually try to find some real hard facts and figures for you here and i found an article in forbes magazine. looking at trends in the united states then it found that plant based dairy alternatives are expected to represent

forty percent of dairy products by twenty twenty and that is up twenty five percent from twenty sixteen so there's certainly a boost to their begin she says taken off him oddly which of course means of cow milk is dropping so dairy producers traditional dairy produces a good meat industry feeling the pinch and there is a business opportunity you know about mcdonald's has just been rolling out a vegan burgers also here in germany i haven't tried it yet i will though and again the supermarkets are expanding their portfolio investors i mean we had this fantastic i.p.o. well they must see money there smell money then see business opportunity else they would've gone for the share and you're actually of digging yourself we know. make of all of this i mean do you like it is this something that you find appetite thing and you know why did you make the decision to begin with well i mean there are so many possibilities i mean for a lot of people it's of course it's ethical reasons you know i personally don't like the idea of having to kill an animal to eat it and i live in

a time and age where i can afford the luxury not having to do it there at least the health aspect of it and the environment take a four ounce beef bagga if you compare that to vegan burger vigen burger produces about ninety percent ness greenhouse gas emissions of the carbon footprint is much lower that is not interesting and a lot of traditional meat producers like tyson foods which is the top u.s. meat producer they can sort of well if you can't beat them join them and they actually increased their investment in beyond meat and i'm sure that since last night since the i.p.o. they don't regret that food for thought so to speak. i think you. you're watching news still to come on the program with elections fast approaching a new poll is out showing how the germans feel about the idea of giving more power to brussels the results might surprise you. the first german troops helping

al bloody district not only the men but also the women young and old played a central role in the revolution. whether they took place in the protests themselves or gave moral support and aid to the demonstrators but it wasn't easy what. they did i ran from house to house to protect my granddaughter from the tear gas and bombs that i suffered with her. and it's a legacy that i'm out. so how do you helper i kept taking her to places where there was no tear gas. at the time not a year was three days old now she's all right she was born at the beginning of a new era. where you know the protests that started in the old body district brought the women together now they meet regularly and they all hope that the

a year elections shaped largely by the twenty fifty migrant crisis the european debt crisis and the u.k.'s impending exit from the uk with less than a month to go until europe heads to the polls the latest trends survey suggests that interest in germany for the e.u. elections is growing. fifty three percent of germans asked said they were either very interested all strongly interested in the vote forty seven percent said they were less or not interested. as breck's it looms the survey also indicates that germans consider being an e.u. member as advantageous close to fifty percent of germans think e.u. membership is advantageous thirty seven said the pros and cons are equal while fourteen percent said they consider e.u. membership to be disadvantageous looking ahead to the future development of the e.u. the survey results also reflect the euro skepticism among some german fighters while

fifty two percent of germans are now in favor of deeper integration within the european union over a quarter want to see more sovereignty in future. but it's how the germans by a may twenty six that will shape germany's role in future participation in the e.u. . a quick reminder now the top stories we're following for you here i'm tired of the news cycle and funny is battering north east india with winds of up to one hundred eighty kilometers per hour authorities say the least two people have died and more than a million people have been evacuated. coming up next on the t.v. news our environment show eco africa takes us to gonna where young people are getting creative in tackling air pollution and in tanzania where scientists are working to save africa's largest a label have with footage also on preparations in bangkok for the coronation of the
