Plane carrying Brazilian club football team crashes in Colombia

 At least 25 people are believed to have died after a plane carrying members of a Brazilian football team and journalists crashed near the Colombian city of Medellin. 
Local airport officials say the flight was carrying players from the Chapecoense football club,
which was due to play in Medellin tomorrow, when it crashed with 81 people on board around 10.15pm local time (2.15pm AEDT).
Initial reports suggested at least six people have been pulled from the wreckage alive, with the survivors taken to local hospitals. 
Heavy rain has halted rescue operations but the mayor of La Ceja, a nearby town, said on local radio at least 25 people had been killed.
Citing national police, Colombia's José María Córdova International Airport said there appeared to be at least six survivors from the 72 passengers and nine crew on board.
