Work continues at the site of mass grave in Belarus where the remains of over 1,000 Jewish people slain by the Nazis were found.
Bones of men, women and children with gunshot wounds to their skulls have been located at a building site in the city of Brest on the Polish border.
The skeletons of around 600 have been found so far, with Belarus soldiers - deployed to undertake the macabre work - now locating the remains of some 40 people each day in the sinister burial place.
City official Anna Kondak said: 'We expect the number of victims to go over 1,000.'

The dead are believed to have been Holocaust victims of the Nazis from the Second World War, say officials.
The victims were from the Brest Jewish ghetto where up to 28,000 lived in 1941-42, it is understood.
Some 17,000 people are known to have been shot in October 1942 near Bronnaya Gora railway station, while thousands more were also presumed to have been slaughtered.
Historic accounts say victims were ordered by Hitler's forces to strip naked before being shot.
The recent discovery of human remains came during excavations for a new luxury residential development and a shopping mall, said city officials.
The building work has been suspended while the remains of the mass murder victims are disinterred.

Kondak said: 'During three weeks, every day about 40 remains are being found.
'Now the overall number is around 600. As far as we know, there are two major graves here.
'We have almost finished with the first one. After this, experts will start on the second one.
Governor Alexander Rogachuk said: 'We will not allow the building of anything on bones of people.'
Local reports say the human remains have been found in a 20 metre long pit, some 1.5 metres deep.
One account said they included 'men, women, and children, all with gun shot wounds in their skulls'.
Previous mass graves have been located in Brest in 1950 - when some 600 victims were re-buried at Trishinskoe cemetery, and in 1970 when 300 victims were re-interred at Proska cemetery.

Rogachuk is reported to have held a meeting with representatives of the Jewish community in Brest and suggested to re-burying the remains at 'Severnoe' cemetery.
This burial ground already includes victims of the Holocaust.
The Jewish community is demanding that religious traditions should be followed during re-burials.
Records say that only 19 people out of up to 28,000 were alive after the Brest ghetto, which had been founded on 16 December 1941, was 'liquidated' in October and November 1942.

A petition has been started in Brest demanding that building work is permanently halted at the site of the mass shooting.
So far 492 people have called for a memorial park to replace the residential development and shopping centre.
The matter is being discussed by the city authorities.
The construction vehicles have been standing by since the discovery was made so that academics can make proper records of the discovery

The skeletons of...
It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
