The Czech Republic is recovering from widespread power outages that halted public transport and businesses in several parts of the country after a fault on the transmission grid.

Tram services resumed in capital Prague and the city of Liberec after central and northern areas of the country were without electricity for several hours on Friday, the CTK news service reported.
