At least five people have died and as many as four are missing after a large container ship collided with a control tower in the Italian port of Genoa during the night.

The tower and an adjacent three-storey building were destroyed in the collision with the Jolly Nero container vessel, which weighs more than 40,000 tonnes.

A BBC correspondent in Italy says the container ship suddenly veered off course as it was leaving the port.
