Medieval tower partially collapses in Rome

A worker who was trapped after part of a medieval tower collapsed in the heart of Rome, has died, according to hospital officials.

A section of Torre dei Conti - on the edge of the famous Roman Forum and close to the Colosseum - gave way just after 11:30 local time (10:30 GMT).

While rescue efforts were still under way, a second section of the 29m (90ft) high tower began crumbling again, creating a huge cloud of dust.
