INTERNATIONAL NEWS - Five more bodies have been found in the ruins of the mountain hotel in Italy engulfed by an avalanche six days ago.
In the past few hours, the bodies of three men and two women have been recovered, reports say, bringing the total number of victims to 14.
But 15 people remain unaccounted for and rescuers say there is still a faint hope that some could be alive.
Firefighters are trying to punch a hole through an 80cm (2 ft 7 in) concrete wall into the hotel bar.
"We are working on the theory that the avalanche did not necessarily hit or destroy every room and that we haven't yet reached the heart of the structure," said spokesman Luca Cari.
He said rescuers were working around the clock and still hoped to find survivors. So far, 11 people have been found alive.
