Death toll in Brazil dam collapse rises to 58

The death toll from Brazil's collapsed dam climbed to 58, with only 19 identified so far. 

With more than 300 people still missing in Minas Gerais state, authorities said chances of finding survivors are "very low".

Rescue efforts were suspended for several hours amid fears that a separate dam was at risk of collapsing. 

The cause of the dam burst remains unclear, with Vale mining company claiming all safety procedures were followed.
