China landslide death toll jumps

The death toll from landslides in north-west China has risen to 337, with 1,148 people still missing.



An earlier report had put the toll at 137, with 1,348 people missing.



The landslides in Zhouqu county, Gansu province, were triggered by torrential rains that hit the area on Saturday.



Water built up behind debris in a river, which burst its banks sending water, rocks and mud down several hillsides and on to homes.
