Authorities in Brazil are currently searching for 200 people who are believed to be missing after a dam collapsed near the city of Belo Horizonte.

According to reports in Brazil, the collapse may have led to further deaths in the town of Brumadinho as the collapse triggered a large mud-slide to descend on the town.

It is believed a number of people were rescued by helicopters, but authorities in the region are fearful of a high causlty list as the town is difficult to access following the incident.
