North of England Correspondent

Rescue teams across the US state of Kentucky are scrambling to search for survivors after the series of devastating tornadoes which tore more than 200 miles through the state, flattening homes and businesses in their wake.

Kentucky’s governor said they’d never seen damage on such a scale, with at least 64 people confirmed dead and more than 100 still unaccounted for.

President Biden has announced he’ll travel to the worst affected areas on Wednesday.
