Brazil mudslide kills at least 10

**At least 10 people have been killed and five injured by a mudslide in a Brazilian island resort, say officials.**The mud destroyed three houses and an upmarket lodge on Ilha Grande, Angra dos Reis, near Rio de Janeiro.

Fire department commander Pedro Machado told local media the mud probably hit as tourists returned to their rooms after New Year’s Eve celebrations.

Mr Machado said about 100 people, including police and navy boats, were searching for survivors.

The resort can only be reached by boat.

At least 18 people dead earlier this week as heavy rains brought flooding to other parts of Brazil.

Officials said most of those deaths occurred as shanties collapsed under mud or rain in the greater Rio de Janeiro city area.
