> Rescuers are struggling to reach about 100 people believed to be alive in tunnels across Nepal’s hydropower network. The tunnels were buried in mud nearly a week ago after a glacier collapse triggered landslides and floods. Some workers escaped, but officials say more than 900 remain missing. Tunnelling expert Arnold Dix is advising the rescue effort.
