14. Hurricane Irene strengthens as it swirls over Caribbean

A strengthening Hurricane Irene has swept over the northern Dominican Republic, bringing strong winds and heavy downpours.

The storm, the first hurricane of the Atlantic season, had maximum sustained winds of 160km (100 mph).

Forecasters say Irene is set to intensify further as it heads north-west towards the Turks and Caicos Islands and the Bahamas.

The storm is forecast to reach the south-eastern US by the weekend.
