Indonesia's race to find survivors after earthquake and tsunami
As the number of dead climbs to 1,558, the deadline for finding survivors after the earthquake and tsunami is fast approaching.

More than 1,558 people are thought to be dead, missing or injured after the 7.5 magnitude tremor and tsunami in Indonesia.
Meanwhile, the UK government has pledged to match the first £2m of public donations to the Disaster Emergency Committee's earthquake appeal, taking the government aid up to £5m.
And a plane carrying shelter kits, solar lanterns and water purifiers took off from Doncaster Sheffield Airport on Thursday night, bound for Sulawesi, where 70,000 people have been left homeless.
Sky's Siobhan Robbins is on the island, where the desperate search for survivors continues.
At the edge of a crumbled office block we're witnessing what Indonesia's recovery operation looks like up close.
A team has been sent in to retrieve a body in Palu.
We've attached our camera to one of their helmets, so we can see what they see.
Around them, the concrete has been pulverised, metal girders are twisted and bent.

First a digger is sent in to move the biggest pieces of debris, then the team scrapes at the smaller bits of rubble until the young mother trapped there is revealed.
Ween Megawati, 35, was at work when Friday's earthquake hit.
She didn't have time to get out before the building collapsed.
Her family is watching the recovery operation anxiously - after six days of waiting, they want to bring her home.
"I want to her body back so we can have a funeral," her mother, Marsiati Longulo tells me.
"Her father has already seen the body but I can't."
A coffin is brought to the edge of the wreckage as a priest watches on.
Ween's three-year-old son is too young to understand that his mother is gone, his grandmother too angry to mourn.
"I'm really disappointed that the search team came too late, so my daughter couldn't saved," she says.
The damage caused to the office block by last Friday's earthquake is catastrophic.
The second and third floor crashed down, crushing the people below, there was no time to escape.
"In this situation, the chance of survival is just 20%," explains the search and rescue unit commander, Rusmadi Adi Putra.
The team pulls Ween's phone from the wreckage and hands it to her brother.
From his face you can see his heart is breaking.
It's a familiar scene across Palu where the bodies have been piling up.
The deadline for finding people alive under the rubble is fast approaching.
Officials say a week on from the quake-tsunami the chance of survival will have dropped to almost zero.
After hours digging, rescuers call for a bodybag; the recovery is over, it's time for a young mother to go home.
Her father sobs as her body is laid in a coffin and carried to a waiting ambulance.
His grief is raw and overwhelming.
It's a grief which has taken a hold of Palu city, where more than a thousand are already confirmed dead.
And with possibly a thousand more people still unaccounted for, many more families will have to make the journey Ween's family is making, as more of the missing are recovered.
