[naviga:h3]Rescuers search for at least 91 in China[/naviga:h3]

SHENZHEN, China — Rescuers were searching today for at least 91 missing people a day after a mountain of excavated soil and construction waste buried dozens of buildings when it swept through an industrial park in the southern Chinese city of Shenzhen.

China’s official Xinhua News Agency said the landslide buried or damaged 33 buildings in the industrial park in Shenzhen, a major manufacturing center in Guangdong province across the border from Hong Kong that makes products used around the world ranging from cell phones to cars.

Aerial photographs on the microblog of the Public Security Ministry’s Firefighting Bureau showed the area awash in a sea of red mud, with several buildings either knocked on their side or collapsed entirely.

Just seven people were rescued overnight and 13 overall were hospitalized, including three with life-threatening injuries.

MOSCOW — An unmanned Russian cargo ship has lifted off on a journey to the International Space Station.

The Progress spacecraft blasted off today from Russia’s space launch complex in Baikonur, Kazakhstan, and is to dock with the space station two days later. It is delivering 2.5 metric tons of fuel, water, food and other supplies.

Russian Mission Control said the ship has successfully entered its designated orbit just over nine minutes after the liftoff.

It was the maiden launch of a modified version of the Progress, which has been in service for more than four decades.

[naviga:h3]Scandal-hit Toshiba cuts 6,800 jobs[/naviga:h3]

TOKYO — Scandal-plagued Japanese manufacturer Toshiba is cutting 6,800 jobs after projecting a net loss of $4.5 billion for the fiscal year through March 2016.

Toshiba said today it will slash the jobs in its personal computer, video product and consumer electronic businesses. The job cuts equal about 3 percent of Toshiba’s overall employees. It is also selling its TV plant in Indonesia.

Toshiba, which also makes nuclear power plants, has repeatedly apologized after acknowledging it had systematically doctored its books over several years to inflate profits by $1.3 billion.

Officials have said that mangers set unrealistic earnings targets, under the banner of creating a big “challenge,” and subordinates faked results.

The scandal at one of the nation’s top brands highlights how Japan is still struggling to improve corporate governance, despite efforts to beef up independent oversight of companies.

Toshiba said the job cuts in Japan will be by early retirement, but a significant number of overseas jobs will also be involved and steps will vary by each nation.

Earlier this year, Toshiba said it is selling facilities for making computer chips related to image sensors to Sony.

Toshiba is also in trouble because it operates and is decommissioning, with Hitachi and other companies, the Fukushima Dai-ichi nuclear power plant, which went into meltdowns after the March 2011 tsunami.
