A 16-year-old boy has been pulled alive from the rubble of a building, which collapsed in Turkey six days ago. Local media said Muhammet Kalem survived because he was trapped in an air pocket between concrete blocks. Rescuers are working to find dozens of people believed to be still buried, though chances of finding anyone else alive are thought to be very slim. At least 63 people are known to have died in the collapse, in the central city of Konya on Monday.
