Five people have been killed in storm-related accidents as hurricane-strength winds tear across northern Europe.

Three people died after being hit by falling trees and debris in the Netherlands and one in Germany.

A second German was killed in a collision when his van was blown on to the wrong side of the road.

Facing gusts of up to 140km/h (90mph), Germany's train operator Deutsche Bahn cancelled all long-distance services for the rest of Thursday.

Many regional services were also cancelled.

Flights at Schiphol airport in Amsterdam - one of the busiest in Europe - were briefly suspended and two of its three departure halls were closed after roof plates were blown off the terminal building.

More than 300 flights were cancelled and the airport said passengers should check their flights status online or contact their airline.

Beautiful new van Gogh drawing discovered. Holland is celebrating..

Nieuwe tekening van Vincent van Gogh ontdekt

LAREN - Een tekening die nooit eerder is tentoongesteld, blijkt door Van Gogh te zijn geschilderd. Dat werd dinsdag bekendgemaakt. Door de vaststelling kon een andere tekening in dezelfde stijl, die in 2001 nog was afgeschreven, alsnog tot officiële Van Gogh worden bestempeld.

De ontdekte tekening – De heuvel van Monmartre met steengroeve – werd in maart 1886 geschilderd. Hij is eigendom van de Vlissingen Art Foundation, een stichting van miljonair John Fentener van Vlissingen. 

De tekening werd sinds 2013 onderzocht door deskundigen, nadat hij onverwacht was gevonden in een nalatenschap. Het exemplaar raakte zo'n honderd jaar geleden van de radar.
