There are no signs of improvement in the heavy weather which has hit Fiji over the past fortnight. Since the last weekend flooding has left around nine thousand living in emergency accommodation. It's left international tourists stranded, and communities cut off from the rest of the country. So far the damage bill has been estimated at well over 10 million Fijian dollars, and as Pacific Correspondent Campbell Cooney reports, there are no signs of improvement.
