Thousands still without electricity in North

Around 13,000 electricity customers are still cut off in the North because of bad weather.

Emergency repair crews worked into the night to restore power to thousands of homes.

Northern Ireland Electricity (NIE) said the weather was improving but snow was still blocking roads.

Northern Ireland Water said about 500 homes still had problems with their water supply in south Antrim and west Belfast.

Julia Carson, NIE communications manager, said: "The weather does seem to be improving, wind speeds have dropped, but due to the extent of the damage across northern and eastern counties it may be a few days before customers are back on supply."

The situation has improved for many since yesterday morning, when 35,000 electricity customers were cut off and up to 1,000 homes were without water.

Weather warnings also still in place across much of Britain after two days of wintry conditions.

Two people are known to have died - one in Lancashire and one in Cornwall.

The body of a 27-year-old man was discovered in deep snow by a farmer near Burnley, Lancashire.

He had gone missing while walking home in freezing weather after a night with friends.

A woman died in Cornwall on Friday when her house in Looe, Cornwall, collapsed during a landslide following torrential rain.
