WHAKATANE (NEW ZEALAND): A second land search of New Zealand's volcanic White Island on Sunday failed to locate the bodies of the last two victims of an eruption that has now claimed 16 lives, most of them tourists. New Zealand police confirmed the 16th victim died Saturday at Sydney's Concord Hospital, one of several Australian hospitals where survivors suffering from severe burns were being treated. Ten of the dead are thought to be Australians. Of the 47 people on White Island when it erupted, 24 were Australian citizens and four more were permanent residents of Australia. Two four-person teams landed on the island by helicopter early Sunday morning and searched a location thought to be the most likely place where one of the bodies might be.

Video PlayerClose By Oliver Trust BERLIN, July 19 (Xinhua) -- The picturesque countryside of Seefeld in the Austrian alps seems the ideal place for Julian Nagelsmann to start a new chapter in his coaching life. Here in the state of Tyrol, hundreds of miles south the clubs' Homebase in Eastern Germany, exaggerated expectations seem far away while the mountains clean air and an alpine landscape create a relaxed mood.
