Ninety people die in Ukraine as temperatures plummet

Help

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.
