Mexico storm is upgraded to a hurricane
The evacuation of thousands of tourists continues in Mexico as the country prepares for more destruction.
Tropical Storm Manuel has been upgraded into a category one hurricane and is threatening further damage as it makes it way to the coast.
Around 80 people have already been killed in Tropical storms Ingrid and Manuel and nearly 60 are reported missing after a landslide buried a village in the south-west.
Emergency flights are evacuating some of the 40,000 tourists who have been stranded at the Mexican resort of Acapulco since the weekend.
The army has been drafted in to help with the operation.
The British Foreign and Commonwealth Office said it was in close contact with local authorities and are providing consular assistance to British nationals in the affected area.
A concert hall is being used as a temporary shelter and operations centre for the airport.
