Cyclone Idai is one of the worst weather-related disasters ever to hit the southern hemisphere. Peter Beaumont discusses his recent trip to Mozambique, where he reported on the devastation the cyclone has caused. Plus: Sonia Sodha on understanding what is actually happening in parliament

On 14 March, Cyclone Idai smashed into Mozambique before tearing through neighbouring Zimbabwe and Malawi, displacing hundreds of thousands of people and flooding an area of 3,000 sq km.

The fallout from the tropical storm has affected almost 2 millions people, and now the first cases of cholera are complicating an already complex emergency.

The Guardian’s Peter Beaumont, who has just returned from Mozambique, discusses reporting on the aftermath of the devastation with Anushka Asthana. He began his trip in Beira, where 90% of the city has been destroyed, before moving to the more rural areas, where relief efforts are still to reach some people.
