It's time now for our Tuesday edition of Arirang's 'The World Now'. I'm Kim Jae-hee.
Let's start off with a five-storey building collapse in western India.
At least 100 people, including children, are feared trapped in the debris of the building... that collapsed on Monday evening local time in an industrial town about 165 kilometers south of Mumbai.
According to local police, the building contained around 47 flats.
About 100 to 125 people were thought to have been inside at the time.
Around 30 people were pulled out by rescue teams and local residents, and rescue and relief work is underway.
Authorities have yet to ascertain the number of casualties or the cause of the collapse.
Building collapses are fairly common during India's monsoon season.
