INTERNATIONAL NEWS - Hurricane Maria has knocked out power across the island of Puerto Rico, home to 3.5m people, officials have said.
The US National Hurricane Center said "catastrophic" flooding was sweeping parts of the island.
Meanwhile more pictures are emerging of widespread destruction on the small island of Dominica, hit on Monday.
Maria, currently a category three storm, is now lashing the Dominican Republic further west and heading towards the Turks and Caicos Islands.
It is the second devastating storm to hit the Caribbean this hurricane season - the first being category five Irma earlier in September.
