Earthquake in Japan

Mud and trees from a landslide triggered by Saturday's powerful earthquake close a national road in Kurihara, northern Japan. Soldiers fighting through a torrent of mud and rocks dug out three bodies at a hot spring, bringing the death toll from a magnitude 7.2-earthquake that hit the mountains of northern Japan to at least 10, with more than 200 injured Photograph: Kyodo News/AP
