Mexico quake death toll rises to 230

Mexican authorities say the death toll from the earthquake that shook central Mexico has been raised to 230, after the number of confirmed dead in Mexico City rose to 100.

The nation's capital bore the brunt of the deaths and damage in Tuesday's quake, but it has also been the scene of dramatic rescues.

Determining the number of casualties has been complicated by the diverse places where Tuesday's magnitude 7.1 quake hit and where victims were taken.
