Employers across much of China have been ordered to limit outdoor work due to scorching temperatures as the country struggles with heat, flooding and drought.

Rescuers are looking for survivors of a landslide on Saturday that buried a road construction site and killed at least one person with seven others missing in the central city of Yichang in Hubei province.
