    Rescue teams
    Chinese emergency teams are searching for 172 miners trapped in a flooded coal mine, state media has reported.

    Officials told Xinhua news agency the workers have only a slim chance of survival in the mine, in Xintai city 450km (280 miles) south of Beijing.

    The agency reported that hundreds of troops and police were at the scene helping rescue teams.

    China's coal mines are among the most dangerous in the world, with more than 5,000 deaths reported annually.
