Newsday

Available for 29 days

Hope and expectation in Nepal as two hydropower workers are pulled out of a tunnel alive nine days after a devastating flash flood at the Nepal-China border. We'll bring you the latest from the rescue site. Europe's biggest car maker, Germany's Volkswagen, is to cut a further 50,000 jobs by the end of this decade as part of a radical restructuring. And in Israel the country's far-right national security minister has announced plans to move two million Palestinians from Gaza over the next seven years. Presenters: Rob Young and Anne Soy.
