A 10-year-old girl has been rescued from the rubble of the Italian earthquake - after being trapped upside down for 17 hours. A firefighter clutched her tightly to his chest after she was freed from the ruins of a building in the town of Pescara del Tronto. Crowds had gathered round after one person spotted signs of life under the rubble, saying: "You can hear something under here. Quiet, quiet."
Footage shows her dust-covered legs poking out of the debris, with cheers breaking out as the pony-tailed youngster was eventually freed. Jubilant rescuers shouted "she's alive" as she was carried away. Firefighter Danilo Dionisi said: "The 10-year-old girl was just pulled out now from the rubble and she is being taken to the hospital and that is good news.
