'Hundreds' dead in Sierra Leone flooding and mudslides

At least 312 people have died and more than 2,000 are homeless after a series of floods and mudslides hit the outskirts of Sierra Leone's capital, Freetown.
A Red Cross spokesperson said the number was likely to rise further as more bodies are recovered.
President Ernest Bai Koroma declared a national emergency as the military, police and Red Cross were deployed in an effort to search for survivors.
Storms swept through the capital of the West African country on Monday, leaving streets under water and causing landslips in rural areas.
TV pictures showed people using their hands to dig through mud to find their loved ones.
