Heavy rain and wind is affecting Scotland, Wales and the north of England this weekend, causing travel problems for thousands.

A landslide in Scotland dumped 200 tonnes of debris onto a road today, and in Ireland, flights were grounded at Dublin airport.

The Met Office has issued several weather warnings, with the highest level being in the north west of England.

Winds of up to 120km/h have hit some parts of the UK, with many houses also being left without power for hours on end.
