I'm Carla Zeus at the CNN Center, our first story in a part of Africa that's still reeling from a cyclone that made landfall.

Government officials are now getting an idea of the destruction by a second major storm.

At that time, its wind speeds were 140 miles per hour.

That's the equivalent of a Category four hurricane out of five, but Kenneth was the most powerful storm ever to hit Mozambique.

The nation's government says almost 3400 homes have been destroyed and more than 18,000 people are displaced.

One uniquely destructive thing about Cyclone Kenneth It's slow.

When a hurricane or cyclone doesn't pass over an area quickly, it can drop even more rain than it normally would, and that can make flooding even worse.

Over the course of this week, forecasters expect up to 20 inches of more rain saved the Children.

An international aid group says survivors and areas of heavy damage need food, water and shelter urgently, but workers haven't been able to get to some areas because rivers have flooded and covered roads.

Cyclone Kenneth killed four people on the island nation of Calm arose, which is about 100 miles east off the coast of Mozambique.

The Mozambican island of a bow looks like it took a direct hit.

More than 46% of its population is estimated to live in poverty, and natural disasters like this are part of the reason two major cyclones hit just a matter of weeks.

It's unprecedented and, of course, as the country tries to recover from the devastating impact off Cyclone e Day.

Another stronger storm hits the northern parts off Mozambique Cyclone Kenneth hits the country in the early hours off Friday morning on Mozambicans woke up too strong winds and heavy rainfall.

But two major cities that are very densely populated in the northern parts off Mozambique were not as severely impacted Eyewitness accounts and of course businesses that we spoke to say that it wasn't as bad as they feared, and it's basically business as usual.

But it's 80 kilometers north of Kimber, where the catastrophe did occur on the island off able, according to a resort manager there, 90% off the homes, which totally destroyed on the island.

And it seems that that is way the eye of the storm passed through.

Now remember that this part off Mozambique isn't as densely populated as the rest of the country.

We're talking about Villagers that are not easily accessible.

Which of these countries borders the Sea of Okhotsk?

This body of water is surrounded mostly by Russia, but is also bordered by northern Japan.

Emperor Akihito was the first Japanese royal to marry a commoner.

He was the first Japanese emperor to visit China, Thailand and the Philippines, and today he becomes Japan's first royal in 200 years toe abdicate to give up his throne.

In Japan, the decision making power lies in the hands of its elected politicians.

But as that symbol of national unity, Emperor Akihito has been popular, and many Japanese air sad to see him step down.

In a rare televised address in 2016 the emperor said he was worried that his age and fitness level would make it harder for him to carry out his duties as he had until then.

Next year, Japan's parliament passed the law that allowed him to abdicate if he wanted to.

And on Wednesday his son, Crown Prince Naruhito, will become the 126th emperor to ascend to Japan's Chrysanthemum Throne, the name given to both the emperor's position and to a seat used during the coronation ceremony.

Crown Prince Naruhito inherits the Chrysanthemum Throne at a time of transition for Japan, once the region's economic powerhouse.

Today, the Japanese economy is struggling, the population aging and the workforce shrinking.

Women are leaving and giving up their official duties, the law says.

If a woman marries anyone outside of her own 18 member imperial family, she automatically becomes a commoner.

A man keeps his royal status for life as each Princess Mary's and becomes a common or the royal family.

Keep shrinking fewer people to fulfill all the responsibilities.

You're exactly right, and I believe that a certain number of imperial family members are needed as the number has been decreasing rapidly.

Japan used to have many noble families, but after the war.

Now they're the royal equivalent of an endangered species.

Japan also used to allow women to sit on the Chrysanthemum Throne, but that was centuries ago.

The crown prince and princess only have one child, 17 year old Princess Aiko.

Under current law, she cannot ascend to the throne, so her cousin, 12 year old Prince Hisahito, will be second in line after the abdication.

Conservative commentator and imperial author Sidney also Talkinto argues against women raining again.

Preserving the male bloodline of the world's oldest continuous hereditary monarchy.

Why is it necessary for the for the emperor to be a male first?

It's essential to know why the emperor is an emperor.

I think it's very important that an emperor historically is of the principle of pedigree.

But does that mindset put the whole existence of the royal family at risk?

What if a male isn't born, then why this male line succession has bean in effect for more than 2000 years?

There was some periods when succession became difficult, but historically they sold the problem not by putting a daughter or sister of the emperor on the throne, but by bringing in someone who had the male line pedigree, even if he waas a distant relative.

But can the Japanese public continue to accept an imperial family perceived by some?

The Japanese government will soon discuss whether succession law needs to change, some argue.

If it doesn't, the imperial family faces an uncertain future.

When someone is set to receive an organ transplant, doctors have only a matter of hours to get the organ to the recipient.

Kidneys, lungs and livers simply don't survive very long when being transferred.

Many human organs are transported on airplanes, but some researchers are testing out drones as a way to speed up the process.

There are a number of obstacles to doing this.

For one thing, the most recent test, which was successful on Lee, covered a couple miles.

Experts say drones would need engines, not batteries, in order to carry an organ.

Cross country drone technology is still relatively new, their concerns about how reliable it is and the Federal Aviation Administration still has strict rules concerning drones.

Also, some wouldn't be able to lift the machines that keep organs functioning and special coolers will have to be developed to safely transport them.

A drone carrying a human organ launches lands 2.8 miles away at the University of Maryland.

Medical, confirming almost active temperatures appropriate organ doesn't appear to be injured at all.

The kidney is then successfully transplanted into a patient, saving her life.

The first of its kind voyage has the potential to revolutionize the organ transplant process.

This will have a direct impact on improving patient outcomes.

Where time is critical when performing an organ transplant.

Figuring out how to get it to the recipient quickly is often the most complicated part.

Any delays can destroy the organs viability.

The system is broken and it needs to be fixed.

It is unsafe, and it is way too expensive.

The new technology has the potential to make a cheaper, faster and more reliable.

It could also whiten the donor organ pool and improve access for people in rural communities.

The University of Maryland is now working with three organ procurement organizations across the country to slowly begin implementing drone use on Natasha Chen reporting yoga with baby goats.

10 out of 10 person who took part in this said she figured it be quote yoga with goats running around.

And that's pretty much what it was at this event in Kansas.

Now the animals do tend to get in the way, and that's all part of the fun.

And a farm representative says your hair and clothes are at risk of getting a serious nibble.

But if you don't mind a downward facing goat with your downward facing dog, then you'll probably want a number for more you'll sub breathing for bleeding posture for pastor, agility for futility.

If this very idea gets your goat and you feel like you got a bad workout, hey, at least you'll have escaped.

 I'm Carla's news for seeing the antenna.
