Ella: Thank you Sean. In Indonesia, a powerful flash flood killed at least 100 people earlier this morning. The flood wiped out a popular jungle trekking area and national park in Jakarta. The president of Indonesia commented on the incident by saying “Nature will become angry if we are arrogant. It will show its devastating rage ……..when we treat nature with violence.” Ellis is live in Indonesia, where the destruction has taken place.
Ellis: Thank you Ella. As you can see, the flooding has become life threatening and disease is spreading quickly between the 340,000 people who have been left homeless by the floods. Residents are crowding around the Mosque on the edge of Medan, cowering over the lists of people who have been confirmed dead. I couldn’t get close enough to see, but we assumed the dead where being kept there. The growing piles of debris are scattered around Medan. Forecasters say heavy rain is set to continue for a week, with more flooding expected. Back to you Ella in the Studio.
Ella: In other world news, a 52 year old man has recently started to swim the 5,430 km Amazon River. On February the 1st , Martin Strel, a former marathon swimmer, attempted this feat with a crew of 20 people and a specially designed wetsuit to protect him predators such as piranhas, crocodiles, snakes and leeches. Strel will swim for 11-12 hours and sleep on the boat at night. He is aiming to finish on Brazil’s Atlantic coast on the 11th April, breaking his own personal record of 4,003km.Now on to Ben and Tom with National News.
