Relatives of some of those killed in a major train crash in China are refusing to accept an offer of compensation from the government.
The offer of 915,000 yuan ($US142,000) is double the initial offer made to the families of the 40 victims.
The BBC reports there has been widespread anger at the official response to the disaster.
The crash happened when one train came to a standstill on a viaduct near the eastern city of Wenzhou and another ploughed into it at 10.30pm on 23 July.
State media say that 10 families have accepted the compensation offer.
Meanwhile, Xinhua news agency reports that lawyers have been told to report to the authorities any relatives seeking legal advice.
Officials believe a faulty signal may have caused the crash. Four train carriages fell about 30m (100ft) from the viaduct.
Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao visited the crash site on Thursday. He has vowed to ''severely punish'' those responsible.
On Friday, about two dozen relatives gathered at the crash site to lay flowers and burn incense.
The crash was the worst since 2008.
