The death toll in a collision between two high-speed trains in eastern China has risen to 35. Another 210 people were injured.
The official Xinhua news agency says two foreigners are among the dead.
The crash reportedly happened after one train - the D3155 travelling from the provincial capital Hangzhou to Wenzhou - lost power after being struck by lighting and was hit by a second high-speed train on the outskirts of Wenzhou.
Four carriages plunged off a viaduct and two others were derailed.
Xinhua news agency reports the government has ordered an urgent overhaul of rail safety nationwide.
''D'' trains are the first generation of bullet trains in China, with an average speed of 160km per hour.
A new $US33 billion high-speed track linking Beijing and Shanghai opened to passengers on 30 June - a year ahead of schedule and a day before celebrations to mark the 90th birthday of China's Communist party, but it has been blighted by power outages and other problems.
The 300 km/h train halves the 190 km journey time to under five hours.
The BBC notes that China is spending billions on constructing a high-speed rail network and plans to introduce them across the country.
There are fears, however, that corruption has compromised safety in the network's construction.
