The corporate owner of the Soma coalmine, the scene of Turkey’s worst mining disaster, said 450 workers had been saved and 80 of them were still in hospital. Turkish trade unionists in a range of industries held a one-day strike, protesting at the country’s poor record on mining safety and charging that safety regulations had gone unenforced since the formerly state-run Soma mine was leased to a private company.
