Nepal rescuers try to reach dozens trapped in tunnel

Two people have been rescued from a tunnel in Nepal more than a week after flash flooding.

Two people have been rescued from a tunnel in Nepal more than a week after flash flooding hit the Nepal-Tibet border, killing more than 1,300 people. Rescuers in Nepal have recovered two survivors from a tunnel in the area affected by a massive flash flood last week. We speak to our correspondent, and we hear from people who have been helping those affected by the floods.

In tennis, the two-time US Open champion, Naomi Osaka, has called for fans at the tournament to respect the sport's etiquette after her first round match was disrupted by spectators noisily filming themselves. We speak to content creators who attend tennis tournaments.

Our cyber correspondent has been looking into how criminals are targeting online jobseekers, tricking them into downloading bogus interview tools which turn out to be malicious software that then drain their bank accounts.

And we speak to our reporter who has been in Ceuta, where more than 70,000 people arrived across the border from Morocco last month.

Presenter: James Reynolds.
