Much of Cuba remains without power as Hurricane Oscar approaches

Much of Cuba is without power on Sunday as Hurricane Oscar approaches, two days after the country's main energy plant failed and knocked out power to 10 million people.

Electricity supply was partially restored on Saturday, before collapsing again overnight.

President Miguel Diaz-Canel said that authorities in the east of the island were "working hard to protect the people and economic resources, given the imminent arrival of Hurricane Oscar".

Packing 85mph (140km/h) winds, Oscar is forecast to reach Cuba on Sunday afternoon local time, and could cause flash-flooding and mudslides in eastern areas, according to the US National Hurricane Center.
