More than 50 pilot whales stranded on Scottish beach

A large pod of more than 50 pilot whales have stranded on a beach in the Outer Hebrides, with police urging people to stay away.

Rescuers are battling driving rain and strong winds to save the animals, but many are believed to have tragically lost their lives.

The location on the Isle of Lewis is currently not being released by the British Divers Marine Life Rescue to discourage large numbers of the people gathering.
