News Wrap: Deadly cyclone knocks out power for millions in Bangladesh
In our news wrap Thursday, about 10 million people in Bangladesh lack electricity in the aftermath of a powerful cyclone. The storm, which also hit coastal India, packed winds of up to 118 miles per hour when it made landfall. Also, China is considering a new security bill that could restrict opposition activity in Hong Kong, after months of pro-democracy protests in the semi-autonomous territory.
