Japan earthquake death toll rises to 34 as evacuees battle sweltering heat

Several people died after part of a shopping centre collapsed and an explosion ripped through the mall about an hour later.

Rescuers were also combing a Nippon Paper factory in Yatsushiro city, where at least five people have died after the factory partially collapsed during the quake.
