Rescuers race against time to reach seven trapped in flooded Laos cave

A team of rescuers are racing to try and save seven people who've been trapped in a flooded cave in Laos for a week.
They were hunting wildlife and looking for gold ore when heavy rain triggered landslides, blocking their exit.
An eighth person alerted authorities after managing to escape the cave located in the mountains in Laos’ central province of Xaisomboun.
