Mudslides and floods kill at least 117 in Brazilian city

More than 100 people have been killed after devastating flash floods and landslides hit the historic mountain city of Petropolis, in the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro. 

Rescue efforts continue and there are fears the death toll could rise as many more could still be buried.
