영국 스코틀랜드서 열차 탈선 사고…기관사 등 3명 사망

It's time now for our Thursday's edition of Arirang's 'The World Now'. I'm Kim Jae-hee.
Let's begin with a passenger train derailment in northeast Scotland.
The tragic incident, which took place near Stonehaven on Wednesday, killed three people and left six others injured.
The injured that were taken to hospital are said to be only slightly hurt, and officers said everyone on board the train was accounted for.
Scotland's First Minister and the British Prime Minister sent their condolences to the victims.
"Well, this is devastating news. This has been a really tragic incident and my condolences are with the loved ones of the three people who have lost their lives, and that includes the driver of the train."
"We all work together with Network Rail, with everybody else who's responsible to make sure that we get them on and make sure nothing like this happens again."
Early indications show the train hit a landslide and derailed... due to heavy rainfall that fell overnight Tuesday into Wednesday.
Local authorities say "a thorough and detailed investigation" is taking place to find out the exact cause.
