Bush marks Katrina anniversary

US President George Bush said the huge job of rebuilding from Hurricane Katrina was just beginning a year after the massive storm, but expressed hope that the $110bn (€85.8m) of help sent from Washington would be enough.

Trying to erase the black mark left on his presidency by the administration’s sluggish response to Katrina, Bush yesterday returned to the first scene he saw a year ago of the storm’s devastation.
