A group of British schoolchildren and teachers on a trip to China have been quarantined after four were taken to hospital with suspected swine flu.

The pupils and staff are being kept in a hotel in Beijing, while the ones who are sick receive treatment in hospital.

Joe Robinson, a student being held in the quarantine zone, spoke to the BBC saying it was "all good and well" at the hotel and he is expecting to be able to leave by Wednesday.
