Two workers have been pulled alive from a hydropower tunnel nine days after Nepal’s catastrophic floods, and rescuers say they can hear more voices as they dig by hand to reach them. Plus, Lindsay Clancy’s jury returns for a seventh day of deliberations after a dispute erupts over one juror and the possibility of a mistrial grows. And Vice President JD Vance says he wouldn’t call the U.S. conflict with Iran a “war,” even with no clear timeline for when hostilities will end.
