ATHENS, Greece — With a heat wave expected later this week, Greece’s government today urged striking garbage collectors to return to work after a 10-day protest has left huge piles of trash around Athens.

Striking workers scuffled with riot police in central Athens outside the stuttered entrance of a ministry building, where a union delegation was expected to present its demands.

Temperatures are forecast to reach 107 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the week, prompting a public health agency to issue a warning over the continuing strike.

“The continued accumulation of garbage ... combined with high temperatures poses a risk to public health,” the state-run Center for Disease Control and Prevention said.

BEIJING — Rescue crews were ordered today to evacuate the site of a deadly landslide in southwestern China over concerns of a second landslide, the official Xinhua News Agency reported.

The order was issued after radar detected shifts in the ground where the slide occurred early Saturday, Xinhua said. It wasn’t clear if the rescue efforts had been suspended.

The massive landslide buried the entire village of Xinmo. Ten bodies have been found, and 93 people remain missing. A couple and their month-old infant are the only ones rescued so far.
