More in the next hour. More on our main story this afternoon. More than 220 people have lost their lives in a devastating earthquake that has struck mexico, toppling dozens of buildings, making thousands homeless and leaving millions more without power. Juan paullier is bbc mundos correspondent in mexico city. Hes been out on the streets of the capital. Dozens of buildings collapsing in this part of mexico city, and here in particular, over there and there is one where there is a gas leak at the moment. People were working trying to fix it. That is as soon as possible in order to avoid a bigger tragedy. But here they are getting ready for the worst. They have blankets and medical supplies in case they have to treat injured people. Translation the hospital is under control as the earthquake security protocol dictates. We evacuated the whole hospital and checked the structure. Its working at 100 . It has external light because there is no power in the area, but the hospital has its own power for eight hours before we actually run out of diesel. Translation we are organising the volunteers we have, doctors, nurses, and were working with our own materials and supplies from the people. So far we have not received any injured people. Were waiting. Translation we need antibiotics, healing patches, wooden boards, ropes, blankets, food, medical help Daniel Lieberson is an american who is currently working in mexico city. He told Matthew Price what happened when the earthquake hit. I was on the 26th floor of the hilton hotel, which is the secon highest building in mexico city, and it was impossible to stand up. Glass was breaking, furniture falling over. You basically had to crawl out. Right now, as he said, it is night time. The officials and police have called us to stay off the streets. There are only ambulances, fire engines and some volunteer trucks going by, because theres people trapped in the rubble. And theres a lot of looting going on, we have been told. Some stores have been damaged, the doors and windows, people are taking advantage and entering the stores, so they have asked us to stay off the streets. But it has been pretty horrific. As you know, mexico city was built on a lakebed, so we really feel 7. 1, it feels a lot stronger. I used to live in chile, and africa in kenya, and this was much stronger, much, much stronger. And it is clear that you are very high up in the hotel that you are staying in at the moment. Were you in that room when it happened . I am on the 25th floor. I was on the 26th at the time any business meeting, and everyone knew it was an earthquake, but there was no way to get out. I couldnt go down the stairs until later. When we went down the stairs, the plumbing had broken and there was water flowing down the stairwell is. There was a woman who had to be carried out, she was in a wheelchair and she was carried down about 20 flight of stairs. So it was a rather frightening time. A lot of people are sleeping in the lobby of the hotel now because they are afraid that there will be some after shocks. This quake struck exactly 32 years to the day after an earthquake that left 10,000 people dead. So why is this part of mexico so vulnerable to earthquakes . It is the second to hit the country injusta it is the second to hit the country in just a fortnight. Samantha simmonds explains. Mexico city is in a valley and is on a historic lakebed. It sits on soft blue soil but essentially act as an amplifier for tremors. When seismic waves arrive in that valley, the whole place behaves like a bowl of jelly, shaking up the soil. This intensifies the seismic waves and the shaking. This quake comes 11 days after the most powerful earthquake to hit the nation in decades killed at least 90 people and destroyed more than 115,000 homes in the south of mexico. The country is especially seismic because it sits on three giant tectonic plates. Mexico as a country is one of the most seismically active countries in the world, and mexico city has a particular geology that makes it rather susceptible to shaking from even quite distant earthquakes. The earthquake devastated vast areas. Tuesdays earthquake struck exactly 32 years to the day since mexicos worst ever quake killing 10,000 people in mexico city. Since then, building regulations have been tightened, and disaster readiness improved. But tuesdays quake struck without warning. Even though Safety Standards have improved, there are still clearly a mixture of structures in the city, with many vulnerable buildings. There are warnings of likely after shocks of up to around six magnitude for days or possibly weeks to come. Samantha simmonds, bbc news.

Hurricane maria has made landfall in puerto rico, 35 miles east of the capital, with winds of over 150 mph. The business headlines this afternoon indias tata steel and german rival, thyssenkrupp are to merge their european steel operations creating the worlds second largest steel maker. The tie up though will lead to around 4000 job losses. The two companies have been in negotiations since last year, when tata abandoned plans to sell off its uk operations, including its site at port talbot in south wales. Retail sales jumped last month as shoppers continued to spend despite strong price rises. Sales were up 2. 4 on this time last year, the 52nd consecutive month of year on year increases and much higher than forecasts. And young people in britain are spending three times more on housing than their grandparents dead, according to the resolution foundation. Those now in their 70s and 80s spent 7 of their annual income on housing in their 30s, were the baby boom generation in their 50s and 60s spent 17 . The think tank claims millenials are on the sharp end of britains housing catastrophe. Welcome to the Business News this afternoon. Big movements in the Steel Industry. Tata steel and Germanys Thyssenkrupp have agreed to merge their european operations in a move that would create the second biggest steel maker in europe. The two companies have been in negotiations since last year when tata halted the sale of its uk business. Talks had stalled over tatas huge pension liabilities. The new business is expected to employee 118,000 people. And the combined group will operate across 31 different sites throughout europe. But it will involve the loss of 4,000 jobs across europe. Earlier, we asked thyssenkrupps chief Financial Officer whether the number of redundancies could be even higher. What we clearly wanted to outline here is that we see a maximum, and we have seen that a lot of fears in some of the involved countries were there that it would be by far bigger. I think this number, given the more than 45,000 employees that we have in these assets currently, and that we want to realise it over a time frame of the first year, clearly indicates that there will be redundancies, but that the volume of the redundancies is a lot less than many people expected. And on top of that, one clearly has to say if both parties continued to stand alone, i think the redundancies to cope with the challenges of our industry would be higher. Earlier gleick clark, secretary of state for business, energy and industrial strategy warrant that, although this deal is a step of the right direction we should because just about optimism. A step just about optimism. Astep in just about optimism. A step in the right direction, a positive step, but when you consider that just over one year positive step, but when you consider thatjust over one year ago it was being thought that the port talbot works in particular might have to close, then this announcement secures the future of port talbot, and the other tata steel making sites across the uk, so it is a good step forward. The general secretary at the Union Community and chair of the National Trade union Steel Coordinating Committee said the deal between tata steel and the other company has the potential to protect steel making in the future. This is a positive step in the right direction. We are to have an understanding, that they will invest £100 million a year over the next ten years. That is in the British Steel industry and that will tra nsfer Steel Industry and that will transfer into the joint venture. We have had that assurance we are fairly confident that will happen. You are right that the investment in the Steel Industry is key and vital. The industry lives and brides on investment and we need to see a Firm Commitment to that and we need to see an investment into the Blast Furnace relining in port talbot, and if we can press start on that and get those assurances we can secure the future of port talbot for many yea rs the future of port talbot for many years to come. Are we a nation of smartphone addicts . The latest mobile Consumer Survey from deloitte suggests we might be. More than a third of its 4,150 respondents admitted to looking at their smartphones within five minutes of waking up. Over half do so within a quarter of an hour. And more than three quarters check their smartphones within the last hour before going to sleep. Joining us now is paul lee, head of research for technology, media and telecoms at deloitte uk. Thank you forjoining us. Is this surprising . Because smart bombs are now many computers. Essentially we are checking computers before slipping. Smartphones are many computers. Smart bombs are unrecognisable from the bones that launched before. They are powerful and doing the role is a computer used to do a few years back. Smartphones are unrecognisable from the telephones before. Doing more things with telephones through day. Is it telephones through day. Isita telephones through day. Is it a bad thing . With any new technology, in some cases we will breeze, so we need to adjust and get used to how exactly we wa nt adjust and get used to how exactly we want to use this technology. That is the case with every technology introduced over time. A lot of people talk about children using smartphones too much but 20 years ago people talked about children using television too much or games consoles. With every generation there is a new technical threat which we learn to absorb. Teenagers are apparently worst offenders. Why is that . It isa offenders. Why is that . It is a time when you want to communicate a lot. One thing we have seen communicate a lot. One thing we have seenin communicate a lot. One thing we have seen in our research amongst 16 to 19 year olds, about two thirds of them admit to looking at their phones after they have gone to sleep. A quarter of them respond to messages. A message would wake you up, and having disrupted sleep is not a good thing ever. Also seeing older age groups use bones a lot more. Seven out of 1055 to 75 year old is now have a smartphone, so that proportion has let over the last five years. Bully more young generations using them in schools and education as well, because they need to adapt to Different Technology . Will we see more young generations using them in schools . One area to be useful for schools to look at is teaching children how to develop websites for smartphones. The next ten years will see a revolution in how the workforce in general uses smartphones to improve their productivity. The last decade has been about revolutionising the customer, the consumer, and the next ten yea rs customer, the consumer, and the next ten years will be about revolutionising the workforce. It is important to learn how to use computers and how to manipulate them, but also it is the case with smartphones as well. Thank you.
