Pop star Taylor Swift is to donate $1m (£770,000) to help the victims of the latest floods to devastate the United States.

Torrential rains have lashed parts of the southern state of Louisiana, forcing tens of thousands of people to flee their homes.
At least 11 people are feared to have died in the disaster, described by the National Weather Service as a once in 1,000-year event.

Among those who lost their homes was The Wire and Treme actor Wendell Pierce, whose house was badly damaged when water swept through the city of Baton Rouge.
Swift said she felt compelled to contribute towards a fund set up to help those affected because of the welcome she received there last year during her world tour.
