Nepal flooding: Two workers rescued from tunnel

from BBC · host BBC

Rescue crews in Nepal have freed two workers from a blocked hydropower tunnel, nine days after they were trapped by debris from flash floods that devastated an area on the border with Tibet. Shortly after the two survivors were released, the body of a third person was found. Also in the programme: Germany's far right AfD party looks set to dominate a state election in the east of the country this weekend; a special report from the Spanish enclave of Ceuta where sexual assaults are on the rise; and the pig's kidney that has kept a man alive for a record nine months.
