Beijing ill-equipped police force begins recovering bodies of the more than 100 flood victims from
last Saturday 6-decade-old record rainfalls. With the help of local villagers, they search the countryside,
rivers, waterways and canals for Saturday's victims.

Residents of the worst-hit area of Fangshan, on the mountainous southwestern outskirts of China's
sprawling capital, told AFP the government was doing little to help find their missing loved-ones.

Meanwhile, Beijing's propaganda chief has ordered Chinese media to stick to good-news about weekend
floods, according to a report, after the death of at least 37 people sparked fierce criticism of the government.

Residents of China's rapidly modernising capital have said some of the deaths could have been prevented
if better warnings had been issued and the city's ancient drainage systems modernised.
