Rescuers in Japan have been racing against time in their search for survivors of a New Year's earthquake, as a critical three day window has now closed.
Dozens of people were killed when a 7.6 magnitude earthquake hit the remote Noto peninsula on Monday at 16:10 local time (07:10GMT).
Many people are thought to be trapped under their collapsed homes - mostly in the towns of Suzu and Wajima.
After 72 hours, the chances of finding people alive drops substantially.
