A search team has spotted the wreckage of a helicopter which went missing in eastern Nepal while carrying 24 people, including WWF conservationists.

The chopper was carrying seven WWF employees, including four Nepalis, an Australian, a Canadian and an American.

It was also carrying a Finnish diplomat, a US aid-worker and two Russian crew members as well as Nepalese officials and reporters.
