China quake toll rises to nearly 30,000
China- Chinese authorities say the number of people killed by Monday's shattering earthquake's risen to nearly thirty-thousand.
Survivors were found today, five days after the disaster, including a German tourist who was pulled from rubble after being buried for 114 hours. Meanwhile, thousands of people have fled amid fears a lake would burst its banks in Beichuan, near the epicentre of the earthquake.
People were told to flee to the hillsides. A British Rescue team's been denied entry to the country to help with the clean up operation.
