Two people have died in an accident at the Sao Paulo stadium which is due to host the opening ceremony of next year's World Cup football finals in Brazil.

The accident happened when a crane collapsed onto a metal structure, destroying parts of a grandstand.

Rescue teams have been checking the site to see if there are more casualties.

The stadium was due to be completed by the end of the year, but construction bosses admit they're struggling to have all 12 venues ready.
