Cyclone Nargis heads towards Burma
Updated
A large cyclone in the Bay of Bengal that was expected to hit Bangladesh is changing direction towards Burma.
Weather forcasters in Bangladesh revised their prediction saying Cyclone Nargis will hit Burma later on Friday although the southern tip of Bangladesh could be affected.
The meteorologists will continue to monitor Nargis and issue a detailed forecast later.
Fishing crews have been told to stay close to the shore and not to venture into the Bay of Bengal.
