A violent storm lashing northern Europe has hit the Netherlands and Germany after passing over Britain and France.
At least 28 people have been killed, as the high winds have sent debris flying and brought down trees and power lines.
Ten people were killed in Britain as rain and gusts of wind up to 99mph (159km/h) swept much of the country.
In Germany, hurricane-force winds claimed at least seven lives. Other deaths were reported in France, Poland, the Czech Republic and the Netherlands.
The severe weather has thrown transport systems into chaos, with hundreds of flight, rail and ferry cancellations and roads and schools ordered closed. [BBC]
