Rescuers are reported to have resumed their search for a missing helicopter carrying 10 people in north-eastern Nepal.

The Asian Airlines helicopter disappeared on Friday with eight Nepalese and two Russians on board.

The search was called off on Saturday because of heavy rain.

The Russian-made helicopter lost contact with aviation authorities shortly before it was scheduled to land at the north-eastern town of Lukla, in the Mount Everest area.

Those aboard included a party of climbers.
