A mid-air collision between a helicopter and a light aircraft above the Italian Alps has killed at least five people.
The accident took place close to the Rutor glacier in the Aosta Valley, some 80 km (50 miles) northwest of the city of Turin.
At least two people were seriously injured in the incident, but it was not immediately clear how the accident happened or how many passengers were aboard the aircraft in total.
Among the dead and injured are French and Swiss nationals, the National Alpine Rescue Corps (CNSAS) said.

The Rutor glacier is commonly used as a landing and take-off hub for small tourist planes with skates. Pilots land at the bottom and glide to the top, often without stopping. They then turn the nose of the plane to the valley and continue the run to take off downhill

The 500-meter track at the Rutor Glacier (pictured) is often used as a take-off and landing spot for small aircraft, but the maneuver is complex and requires expertise
The Rutor glacier is commonly used as a landing and take-off hub for small tourist planes with skates - after they have flown over the area several times looking for crevasses and any hikers on foot.
The track, about 500 meters long, is uphill; pilots land at the bottom and glide to the top, often without stopping. They then turn the nose of the plane to the valley and continue the run to take off downhill.
The complex maneuver requires considerable expertise, because as well as hikers walking on the glacier, there are often tourist helicopters to contend with at the popular spot.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
