Several planes have been forced to abort their landings at Fukuoka Airport in Japan, after being hit by strong winds brought by Typhoon Shanshan.
The typhoon, which has weakened to a severe tropical storm, is one of the strongest to hit the country in decades.

The storm is expected to reach Tokyo this weekend.
