8 Page 8 Stop press! Every few minutes you will hear a Reuters announcement updating you on important news. At this point make sure you move to speak to someone else.

9 Page 9 Stop press! Many major roads city are impassable because of all the rubble.

10 Page 10 Stop press! Local power stations have been destroyed and therefore the electricity supply is unlikely to be available for several days.

11 Page 11 Stop press! The main hospital is having difficulty coping with the large influx of newly injured patients because equipment has been destroyed, there is no electricity supply and doctors and nurses themselves have been killed or injured by the earthquake. Furthermore, many people have left the bodies of their friends and relatives outside in the hope that their remains can be burnt in the hospital incinerator, but there are far too many to be dealt with in this way.

12 Page 12 Stop press! Residents should be aware that the government of the USA is distributing bottled water in some areas.

13 Page 13 Stop press! A group of homeless people were the first on the scene outside the parliamentary buildings and they were amongst the first to rescue politicians and government officials.
