Snowstorm strikes north-eastern United States
The north-eastern US states of New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Virginia have declared states of emergency as a huge winter storm sweeps in, bringing heavy snow.
The US National Weather Service issued blizzard warnings from eastern Pennsylvania to south-west Maine.
Schools are closed and thousands of flights have been cancelled.
The conditions caused German Chancellor Angela Merkel to postpone a trip to Washington to meet President Trump.
...With winds of up to 60mph (100km/h), the storm is causing severe disruption for commuters across many parts of the north-east, and authorities in several states are advising residents to stay off the roads.
In all, about 50 million people across the country have been warned about the severe weather.
