Cold snap havoc across Europe

Advertisement

Snowstorms and sub-zero temperatures have killed at least 19 people across Europe and severely disrupted air, rail and road transport.

At least 15 people froze to death overnight in Poland as temperatures dipped way below freezing. In southern Germany a figure of -33C was recorded.

Flights have been cancelled and Eurostar passenger trains are still not running after electrical failures.
