Watch live: Scene of Florida building collapse as rescue efforts continue

Search and rescue efforts are continuing in Florida after an apartment complex collapsed overnight on Thursday, with authorities warning that the number of people missing after the building fell - currently estimated to be “at least” 99 - could increase. 35 people have been rescued from the building in the beachside town of Southside, located 6 miles (9.6km) north of Miami, while ABC News reports that the death toll has risen to three. It’s thought a pregnant British woman, along with her husband and one-year-old daughter, are among those missing following the collapse.
