Flooding and landslides in Norway after massive downpours

Norwegian authorities have evacuated thousands of people following flooding and landslides, as the Nordic country struggles to handle massive downpours since the weekend and the storm "Hans".

Norway's Ministry of Justice and Public Security said it had deployed seven additional helicopters to assist rescue services across the country.

At the Braskereidfoss hydroelectric power station, water has gradually begun to burst through the side of the dam, but the consequences were not so severe.
