More than 200 hikers are trapped on a mountain on the Indonesian tourist island of Lombok, after a deadly earthquake triggered landslides which cut off escape routes.
Hundreds of rescue workers are now working to evacuate them from Mount Rinjani, a popular hiking destination.
The 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck early on Sunday not far from the base of the mountain.
At least 16 people have died, and more than 160 were injured in the quake.
Helicopter and search teams working on foot are searching the mountainside to locate the stranded climbers.
