although forecasters say that the cyclonic has now begun to weaken authorities evacuated more than a million people in coastal areas ahead of funny's arrival fearing that storm surges could put people's lives at risk. they knew it was coming. india's coastal state of addition was braced for the worst. more than a million people were thank you waited ahead of the storm but the coastal resort of poori still suffered extensive damage. started at a dam. and some of the worst one of the. land area and it takes time or more two hours it will take time to complete the process and. what is and is close to. the storm brought down trees and power lines as it moved inland in bhubaneswar odisha state capital the streets were deserted the storm left

chaos behind it which is expected to weaken over the coming hours still warning people to be careful along the coastline. just meant that people are not to avoid inside the c.v.s. going to do that because if you do now you're high sensitive so you are just on to the police that you see a sign on there the people that are preventing the all the local people and the viewers not to go inside the cv study done and that is just for now it seems that the evacuation plans have paid off but once the storm has died down people in addition will have to be ready for a lengthy cleanup operation. let's bring in now our correspondent nations as well who is covering all of this for us from our delhi bureau so mr just walk us through what is happening right now. those are the storm hit at eight am on the southern coast of the state of what

a shop bought it was predicted to walk out in on that high wind speeds and danger the sea conditions for six hours those six hours 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 at the site and it is moving in a north northeast and direction so from the state the southern part of the state of florida should it's moving towards the state of west bengal where there is expected to reach to morrow morning and then for proceed on to bangladesh however 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

while the central part of these mobilized and were able to evacuate many people in the course predict to be very wild to believe that all of the images coming out of just how inundated these areas are houses have suffered damage has been trees being uprooted all across the state and of course communication and more than a phonic balls have also fallen and so that to 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. to return home because conditions will be evaluated on the ground at

a regular basis but on that front the central parties have deployed many forces now that india's national disaster response force is actually one of the largest in the world the indian navy and coast guard are all deployed taking care of people on the ground the indian army and air force are also on standby a medical resources have been deployed as well that have generators out there 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 just stuff they can get off but when it comes to when they might actually be able to talk home that it's not predicting right now they may suggest well with the latest from delhi thank you. well meanwhile the eastern african nation of mozambique is struggling to deal with the devastating aftermath of cyclonic can if the storm hit a week ago destroying homes and roads cutting off power and sparking a cholera outbreak in the north of the country since then people say that they are feeling increasingly frustrated about the government's lack of action our

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 produces traditional dairy produces a can 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 there and see business opportunity else they would have gone for the share and you're actually a vegan yourself we know. make of all of this i mean do you like it is this something that you find appetising 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 are just a health aspect of it and the environment take a four ounce beef bagga if you compare that to vegan that produces about ninety percent less greenhouse gas emissions of the common. 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 into the market today thank you . some football news now and europa league semifinals in england arsenal defeated valencia of spain three two and in germany frankfurt scored early
