Azeri rescue workers have dragged the last body out of the rubble of a building that collapsed last week, bringing the final death toll to 25, rescue services said on Friday.

The 16-storey building near the centre of the capital Baku collapsed last week. It was still under construction, but officials blamed shoddy building work for the accident.
