News Daily: Mexico quake and sixth Tube attack arrest
Race to find Mexico earthquake survivors
So far 230 people are known to have died in the earthquake that struck Mexico. But the search for survivors among the rubble of dozens of destroyed buildings continues. At Enrique Rébsamen primary school in Mexico City, where at least five adults and 21 children died, one 13-year-old girl is believed to be sheltering under a table. One mother, waiting for news of her seven-year-old daughter, said: "No-one can possibly imagine the pain I'm in right now."
A steady rain fell over Mexico City overnight, slowing search operations, but hundreds of members of the army and navy joined with volunteers to keep looking. "It is important for people to be part of this group effort," said President Peña Nieto, as he appealed for more help.
Parsons Green bomb: Sixth arrest
A 17-year-old boy has been arrested in connection with last Friday's terror attack on a Tube train in west London. He was detained in Thornton Heath, south London. This takes the number of arrests in the investigation to six. A homemade bomb placed on a rush-hour District Line train partially exploded at Parsons Green, injuring 30 people.
