Die Ruinen von Mandalay. Das Sky-Villa-Kondominium war ein Wohnzimmer und ein Gebäude. Ein 12-Storey-Bild, reduziert zu 6-Storeys in Sekunden. Und mehr als 90 Menschen sind noch nicht hier. Ye Ong sagt, er hatte große Erleichterung, als er gesagt wurde, dass seine Frau in der Ruhe war. Aber sie zu retten, ist Zeit, sagt er. Ich verliere die Hoffnung, die ich hatte.
Some have been using their bare hands. And more than 24 hours after the quake, rescuers are freeing some survivors, young and old. But these minor miracles are few and far between and have punctuated an otherwise grim day of recovering bodies amid the destruction.

Myanmar State TV has been showing damage to the presidential palace in the capital Naypyidaw. But the military junta of Min Aung Hlaing, which seized power four years ago, continues to restrict internet access, meaning it's hard to get a clear sense of the scale of the devastation. Russia and China, countries that have propped up the regime, have been sending specialist support.

In a highly unusual move for the insular Burmese military, it says it will accept aid from everyone. But there are fears it will only direct help to areas under its control. Back at the Sky Villa condominium, 30-year-old Pule Kain pulled out of the rubble, alive. Nick Beek.

I'm looking right now at the devastation that it's wrought here in Bangkok. There was a skyscraper that was being built. It was supposed to be a 30-story building. It was going to be a government building here in the Thai capital. But it totally collapsed in a matter of seconds. There were around 400 workers believed to be on the construction site.

When the building collapsed, many people were able to sort of scrabble out. A lot of people managed to escape from the site. But it's thought that around 100 people are still buried under the rubble. And I'm just looking at it now. I'm standing on an overpass about... 50, 60 metres away from me, and it is vast. It is a vast mountain of rubble. There are sniffer dogs looking around.

There are lots of rescue workers just desperately trying to battle through this rubble, trying to find any sign of survivors. They've been doing this for hours, by the way, Rachel, and so far, apart from the immediate aftermath of that collapse, we haven't seen any survivors come out. So people really are bracing themselves for the worst here.

Yes, she did. And she declared the whole of Bangkok an emergency zone. And there were some pretty dramatic images, footage coming out from around the city of buildings shaking. Bangkok, of course, has got many, many high-rise buildings, lots of hotels, condominiums, skyscrapers. There was infinity pools spilling their contents off the top of rooftops.

But the damage by and large has been superficial. There's not really been many reports of injuries outside of this one unfinished skyscraper that I'm looking at right now. And you just have to wonder about the workers who were here who just found themselves on a normal Friday afternoon at work in the wrong place at the wrong time on this unstable structure.

Well, some are cautiously making their way back home. If they live on a higher floor, it's less likely that they want to spend the night there. The authorities have actually set up a series of temporary encamps in parks nearby. A lot of people are still there and some people might even spend the night there.

Japan is fourth, South Korea is fifth. Also, wir sprechen über große Spieler, große Handelspartner mit den Vereinigten Staaten. Und unvergesslich war die Reaktion eine von Enttäuschung. Ich meine, die koreanische Regierung hat eine emergency meeting gehalten. Das Ministerium der Verwaltung hat sich mit Repräsentanten der Fahrerindustrie getroffen.
