In London dozens of visitors were left suspended 300 feet above the River Thames earlier when a new cable car system linking 2 Olympic venues broke down.

More than 30 cars were carrying around 60 people.

They came to a halt due to a technical problem.

The stg£45 (€57) million system only opened last month.

The Emirates Air Line links venues on both sides of the River in east London.

There are some reports claiming the system may have stopped working due to the hot weather.

The cars were brought down more than half an hour later whereas a normal trip is finished in a matter of minutes.
