And Finally... Trapped miners survive for 25 days by licking walls
Three miners trapped underground survived for 25 days by licking water off the walls of their coal mine.
The men eventually caught sight of a rescuer's torch and shouted, leading searchers to where they lay.
The Xinqiao mine, in southwestern China's Guizhou province, was flooded on June 17. At least one body was found eight days later, but 12 miners were still missing last night.
The three rescued men, in their 30s, were in a stable condition after being taken to hospital early yesterday.
