Plastic bags found in deer at Japan's famous Nara Park

NARA, JAPAN - A number of foreign objects such as plastic bags have been found in the stomachs of deer in Japan's Nara Park, a popular tourist attraction. The problem is believed to stem from the worsening manners of tourists, including inbound visitors.

Deer in the park are protected as a national natural monument. The issue of environmental damage from plastic waste has now cast a shadow on even the iconic animals in the nation's ancient capital.

On May 12, a female deer died at the deer protection facility in the park at an estimated age of 14. It weighed 38kg. A brown, tangled mass of plastic bags and snack wrappers weighing 4.3kg was found in its stomach.

According to the Nara Deer Preservation Foundation, which has been engaged in deer protection activities at the park, the foundation found plastic bags and other rubbish in the stomachs of nine deer after the foundation carried out autopsies on 14 deer that died in the park since March.

Rescuers scour rubble as Cambodia building collapse toll rises to 18

Victims of a Cambodia building collapse were buried alive as they slept, a survivor said Sunday, as the death toll at the Chinese-owned site rose to 18 and hopes faded for finding more survivors.

Tearful onlookers -- among them relatives of the missing -- waited into Sunday evening as diggers picked through the rubble of the seven-storey building, which was under construction at the time of the accident.

The building came down before dawn on Saturday while workers slept.

"I'm so lucky to be alive," survivor Phat Sophal, 37, told AFP.

"There was a loud bang... my floor trembled, suddenly the building went down. I was crushed by debris from my waist down," he said.

"My nephew and brother-in-law were also sleeping near me. Everyone was screaming and crying for help. A bit later I stopped hearing them.

"I don't think they have survived."

A soldier at the scene said they had heard screams for help, but "today we didn't hear any sounds".

"If you go onto the pile of debris, you can smell the decomposing bodies," he said, requesting anonymity, and speculating the searing temperatures would be hard to survive.
