Jen 6 - Rescue teams search for people still missing after the landslide that killed more than 30 coffee workers.

The rescuers are using shovels and their bare hands to work their way through thousands of tonnes of rock which plunged down onto the workers as they walked along a road.

At least 34 are known to have been killed and it's estimated at least nine more are still missing.

Paul Chapman reports.
