the bbc�*s africa correspondent barbara plett usher reports. what happened was a dam burst and this rush of water came came through this town in the middle of the night, three o'clock in the morning. so it cut this swathe right through town, gouging out this valley, as you can see, felling trees, sweeping away houses and many people as well. i spoke to a man earlier who said when he woke up, he could hear the sound of water. i said, well, what did it sound like? he said, it was sort of like a roar. and he got his family out of their house in time. but 50, around 50 of the families where he was living lost their homes and some of them were taken away by the floods. he said he was able to rescue one little boy, but they're still looking for others who are missing. and around at least a5 people have been killed. and it's part of the heavy rains we've been having in kenya and other parts of east africa in the past month. and they're continuing and filling the dams. and so this is really quite ominous because there are other dams in other parts of t

from there — here's our africa correspondent, barbara plett usher. a bulldozer has been very active, taking away the debris, a lot of branches that have fallen into the river, and that is how it works. the rescue workers who are the red cross and the national youth service, they fan out along the river bank, they have rakes and shovels and sticks to poke into the uprooted trees to see if bodies are tangled there, and with the debris and tangled trees, the bulldozers come in to move it away so the rescue workers can keep looking. there is another place where underneath the mound was a house where six people have lived and the neighbours were not sure if they had been buried there. it has been that kind of situation all day. there is a quiet despair and grief underneath it. we saw a woman in front of us double over crying because she had heard that her child's body had been found and she would not speak to us, understandably. it was a terrible moment for her. we spoke to another man who had just returned from the morgue where he had seen the body of hi

from the capital kigali, our africa correspondent barbara plett usher sent this report. it's here the migrants will land — hope hostel, long poised for this moment. bedrooms laid out with meticulous care. attention to the needs of guests who've so far failed to arrive. workers in surreal performance of their daily tasks. this place has been ready and waiting for nearly two years. now that the bill has passed, the people staffing it may finally have someone to serve. the british government is hoping that these rooms will be filled with asylum seekers in a matter of weeks. the hostel can house 100 of those britain plans to send to apply for asylum here. they could also try to go to other countries, but not back to the uk. if you get the news today... yes. ..you would be able to accept people tomorrow. not only tomorrow, even now. rwanda is a beautiful country nestled in the hills of east africa. the streets are tidy, safe from crime, there is order. rwanda works — that's the motto. some here welcome the idea of the new migrants. i think it will be good economically for
