Brazil dam rescue resumes after second barrier ruled safe

    Sky News: The search for survivors after a dam collapsed at a mine in Brazil has resumed after a second dam was ruled safe.
    Rescue crews were held off for several hours over fears the adjacent dam might also be breached.
    Residents have been allowed back into the town of Brumadinho, where the mine is located in southeastern Brazil.
    Updating the figures, authorities said the number of people confirmed dead was 58, with as many as 300 missing.
    Almost 200 were rescued alive, while 361 people have been found after being registered as disappeared.
    The death toll is expected to rise as recovery teams reach the worst affected areas.
    Earlier, the Vale mining company warned of dangerously high water levels at the second dam – part of the complex where disaster struck on Friday.
