Searchers in Guatemala are looking for an estimated 100 people believed buried by a landslide as the remnants of Hurricane Eta strengthened on the way to Cuba.

Eta is forecast to become a tropical storm again on Saturday as it moves over the Caribbean Sea, and the US National Hurricane Centre issued tropical storm watches for the north-western Bahamas, southern Florida and the Florida Keys.
