Norwegian authorities have said they “no longer hope to find survivors” after a landslide swept away homes in a residential area almost a week ago, killing seven people.

Three people are still missing after the December 30 disaster that destroyed at least nine buildings with more than 30 apartments in the village of Ask, 16 miles north east of Oslo.
