China landslide crushes buildings

At least six apartment blocks have collapsed following landslides in eastern China, trapping an unknown number of people, state media reports.

Officials say they have managed to pull six people alive from the rubble in the town of Pengxi in Zhejiang province.

The landslides were triggered by heavy rains from Typhoon Morakot, which has swept across parts of East Asia.
