At least nine construction workers in Uganda have died after the building they were working on collapsed.
The building, which had at least three storeys, was part of a school outside the capital, Kampala.
The BBC's Sarah Grainger at the scene says police, army and workers at the site are using industrial diggers to search for people who may be trapped.
Two years ago, poor construction was blamed for the collapse of church killing 27 people during a service.
Police said then that the planning authorities were responsible for what they called a rampant problem of substandard construction and high levels of corruption meant short cuts were often taken.
