More die in Uttar Pradesh storm

Officials in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh say the number of people killed in a storm on Wednesday has risen to 128.

A senior official told the BBC that more bodies were recovered from debris.

He said most deaths were caused by the uprooting of trees, phone and electricity wires as well as fires and collapsing houses.

Farmers say the storm has killed many farm animals and has almost destroyed the state's valuable mango crop.
