119 more people have been rescued in Nepal following the deadly flash floods, according to the country’s armed forces.

It comes nearly a week after the disaster that hit both Nepal and neighbouring Tibet. The number of people known to have died in the disaster has passed 1,000, with more than 3,900 missing.

More than 600 of those missing are workers who are believed to be trapped in a vast network of mud-filled tunnels at hydropower sites along the Trishuli River.

The rescue operation is being led by an international team and Nepalese military personnel, with experts from India, Korea and Australia also involved.

Jane Hill presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Azadeh Moshiri in Nepal.

US President Donald Trump said the United States has carried out a new wave of strikes on Iran, in response to attempted Iranian attacks in the Strait of Hormuz and against US service personnel stationed in the Middle East.

Ahead of the strikes, the Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian had said his country was willing to return to the conditions of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between the US and Iran in June.

Those comments came as Pezeshkian met with Russia's President Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit in Kyrgyzstan. The Iranian president told his Russian counterpart that together their two countries could resist what he called “US unilateralism”.

The death toll in Nepal from devastating floods on the border with Tibet has crossed 1,000, according to the country's disaster agency.

More than 3,900 people remain missing - of whom more than 600 are workers believed to be trapped in a vast network of mud-filled tunnels at hydropower sites along Trishuli River.

Engineers have been pumping air into the tunnels - and while a team did manage to gain entry to one of them, it withdrew after finding no-one there.

The rescue operation is being spearheaded by an international team made up of Chinese and Nepalese military personnel, while experts from India, Korea and Australia are also involved.

Iran and the US have traded strikes after American forces attacked two rocket launchers on Larak Island in the Strait of Hormuz.

The US strike is the first known attack on Iran since President Donald Trump paused a renewed military campaign in late July.

Iran said it had struck US military bases in Jordan in response, with Jordan's army saying it had intercepted eight missiles early on Monday morning.

Iran's state TV also said the Iranian army had targeted an air base in the UAE with drones, however, the UAE's Ministry of Defence denied the reports that Al-Minhad Air Base had been targeted as "unfounded". The UAE did confirm it shot down a drone.

Former gang boss Duane "Keffe D" Davis has been found guilty of orchestrating the murder of Tupac Shakur - the first conviction in a cold case that has intrigued hip-hop fans for nearly 30 years.

The jury found Davis guilty of one count of murder with a deadly weapon for the rap superstar's death in a drive-by shooting in Las Vegas on 7 September 1996.

Clad in a black suit, the 63-year-old stood impassively in the Las Vegas court as the verdict was read, before saying he would appeal. Shakur's relatives held hands, some hugging and crying.

Shakur was 25 when he was slain at the height of his career as one of rap's most influential voices. He has sold more than 75 million records worldwide.
