The cold weather is continuing to take its toll in Ukraine, where 90 people have now died because of the cold weather.

Temperatures as low as -23C (-9F) and heavy snowfall have left the capital, Kiev, and most of the country under a thick frozen layer.

Hundreds have been treated in hospitals, the majority of those people being the homeless.

Andriy Kravets reports.
