One week on from the catastrophic flash floods along the Tibet border, more than 1,000 people have died and nearly 4,000 more are missing, according to Nepal's disaster agency. Rescue efforts however are continuing as hundreds of workers at hydropower projects are thought to still be alive. Europe's largest car manufacturer -- the Volkswagen Group -- has announced further job losses as part of the biggest restructuring seen in the automotive industry. And we look back at the life of feminist icon Gloria Steinem. Presenters: Rob Young and Anne Soy.
