Chile: Seven missing after earthquakes

Inclement weather has hindered rescue operations to find seven people after Chile was hit by a pair of earthquakes over the weekend. Residents in the remote Aysen region who were hardest hit by the quakes accused President Michelle Bachelet of ignoring their warnings in order to tackle problems in the country’s capital (i.e. Transantiago snafu).
