Typhoon Jongdari: Weather-ravaged Japan braces for powerful storm
Hundreds of flights have been cancelled in Japan as the country braces for a powerful typhoon, bringing winds of up to 180km/h (110mph).
Typhoon Jongdari (or "skylark" in Korean), is expected to make landfall on the country's main island, Honshu, late on Saturday or early on Sunday.
The storm comes less than a month after floods killed more than 200 people, and then a heatwave left dozens dead.
Japan's Meteorological Agency has told locals to be ready to evacuate.
