Authorities in the French overseas territory of Mayotte fear hundreds, or perhaps even thousands of people have been killed by the most destructive cyclone in nearly a century.

For more on this, we talk to Journalist Daniel Brown in Paris, who has reported extensively on French and African affairs.
