Eight Killed in Brazilian Landslides

Eight people have been killed in a landslide in the Brazilian state of Rio. A further 14 people are believed to be missing. The rainfall was triggered by torrential rain in the area, increasing the stress on already steep slopes. Rescuers were hampered by the main road being blocked, only allowing access by helicopter.
