Japan landslide: Torrent of mud submerges homes

Rescuers have been searching for missing people after a huge mudslide left homes buried under a deluge of mud in the city of Atami in Japan.

Rainfall in the city has already exceeded the average July levels for the prefecture in three days.

Roads and buildings were also damaged by landslides elsewhere in Shizuoka prefecture and in Kanagawa prefecture.
