Malaysia quake: Stranded climbers 'making way down'...

A group of climbers are making their way down one of South East Asia's highest peaks after being stranded by an earthquake, officials say.
The 137 were "cautiously" heading to a guest house high on Malaysia's Mount Kinabalu, tourism minister for Sabah state Masidi Manjun tweeted.
Earlier rescue attempts with helicopters had to be abandoned due to bad weather.
The 6.0 magnitude earthquake triggered landslides, trapping the climbers.
No deaths have yet been reported, but the quake was powerful enough to snap off one of Mount Kinabalu's distinctive "Donkey's Ear" peaks.
All climbing activity on the mountain has been suspended. More on bbc,
