## Resource

Rescue teams battling dangerous conditions after Wednesday’s flash flooding in Nepal have deployed heavy machinery, in preparation to enter hydroelectric tunnels where more than a hundred workers may be trapped. Overnight, rain and rising river levels impaired efforts early on Sunday before conditions eased. Also in the programme: NASA successfully launches a telescope; and a new film on Charles de Gaulle.(Photo: A person crosses a damaged suspension bridge following flash floods along the banks of the Trishuli River in Dhading district, Nepal, 30 August 2026.
