Watch: Moment workers are rescued from Nepal tunnel

Rescuers in Nepal are stepping up efforts to find scores of workers believed to be trapped in tunnels, nine days after the devastating flash floods which hit the area on the border with Tibet in China.

Hopes have risen after two people were pulled out alive on Friday. The body of a third person was also found in one of the tunnels used to supply hydropower stations.

The massive flash flood, believed to have been triggered by a glacial collapse, swept through a Himalayan valley last Wednesday, wiping out entire villages.
