00:01Indonesian authorities resumed search and rescue efforts on Sunday after a deadly landslide.
00:06Around a dozen people were confirmed dead in West Java province the day before, while 80 remained missing.
00:11The landslide was triggered by heavy rains, which the weather agency warned could continue for a week in the province and several other regions.
00:19Local media reports have said rescuers were hampered on Saturday as unstable terrain and weather conditions hindered them from deploying heavy machinery.
00:26The head of the local search and rescue agency, Ade Dian, said the machinery is required to help find missing body parts buried among the debris.
00:36The area is about 60 miles or 100 kilometers southeast of the capital, Jakarta, but reports of flooding also extended as far as the capital.
00:44The landslide occurred two months after cyclone-induced floods and landslides on the island of Sumatra killed 1,200 people,
00:51destroying homes and displacing over a million residents.
