CAROL LIN, CNN ANCHOR: Well, our world round-up begins right now in Russia, where a frantic rescue effort is underway for coal miners missing deep underground. Incredibly, nearly three dozen of them emerged alive today from the would-be tomb. CNN's Ryan Chilcote has that update.</s>RYAN CHILCOTE, CNN CORRESPONDENT (voice-over): For some here, it is the closest thing to a miracle they have ever seen in this Russian mining town. One by one, miners with faces as black as the earth from which they have risen make their way into ambulances, after spending two days, more than seven football fields beneath the earth. Elsewhere in the mine, the lives of another 13 miners still hang in the balance. No one has heard from them since the mine began flooding Thursday night, when they separated from the others. Teams of engineers continue to dig a tunnel to the miners, but it is slow-going.</s>UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: (through translator) If this mine is dangerous, why hasn't it been shut down? Why do people have to go through this? Life here is impossibly difficult. There's not even enough money to feed the children. One of the miners you just saw being rescued has to work at the flea market on the weekends to make $1.50 a day to pay for kindergarten. You call that life? It's absolutely intolerable to live like we do.</s>CHILCOTE: This is the second accident at this mine in just nine months. (on camera): There are a total of nine mines in this area, six of which have recently been closed, leading to a lot of anger, anger that there are so few jobs, anger that the miners that do have jobs haven't seen a paycheck since this spring, anger that no one took the appropriate safety measures to prevent this accident.
