Baby delivered on mountain after bad weather strands mum

A baby has been delivered in the Austrian alps after its mother went into labour on a mountain.

A team of 15 mountain rescuers and a gynaecologist had to climb some 2,500 metres above sea level to help deliver the child.

The 30-year-old mother who went into labour on Tuesday morning could not be brought down by helicopter due to bad weather.

The weather then cleared and a helicopter was able to take them to hospital.
