Indonesian landslide kills five
At least five people have died in a landslide caused by heavy rain in the south of the Indonesian island of Sumatra.

Several more people are missing.

Many villages in the region have been flooded.

Earlier this month, a landslide at a hot springs resort in east Java killed at least 26 people.

Environmentalists say logging practices in Indonesia increase the risk of landslides.
