At least 14 people have been killed after a powerful typhoon passed close to the Japanese capital, reports say.

Typhoon Wipha caused landslides and flooding on Izu Oshima island, south of Tokyo.

Many people died when houses collapsed or were buried in mudslides. Two were found dead near a river.

At the crippled Fukushima nuclear plant, operators pumped out rain water from around storage tanks holding contaminated water.

In Tokyo, flights were cancelled, bullet train services suspended and schools closed.
