US First Lady Michelle Obama is among the newcomers in a list of the world's most powerful women.

Ms Obama made her debut at number 40 on the list for Forbes Magazine, while German Chancellor Angela Merkel took the top spot for the fourth time.

Only four UK women made the Top 100 - down from five last year. They were led by Anglo American chief Cynthia Carroll, in fourth place.
