China races to find landslide survivors in sub-zero temperatures

Rescuers in China have stepped up efforts to find dozens of people who were buried in a landslide in southwestern Yunnan.

The landslide struck two villages in mountainous Zhengxiong County in the early hours of Monday morning when many people were asleep, burying 18 homes and at least 47 people.

 At least nine people had been found dead, according to state broadcaster CCTV, while two were pulled from the rubble and taken to hospital.

“The mountain just collapsed, dozens were buried,” a witness, named Gu, told state-owned television.
