At least five children have died after a landslide buried a school building in south-west China, officials say.

Rescue teams searching for survivors from the class recovered the bodies from the collapsed building.

Nineteen people, 18 of them children, were buried when the landslide hit the school and two other houses in remote Yunnan province, officials say.

Search teams are still looking for survivors at the site. The landslide hit at 08:00 local time (00:00 GMT).

A series of earthquakes, including one of 5.8 magnitude, hit the province on 8 September, killing dozens of people.
