Two workers were rescued from a hydroelectric tunnel in Nepal, nine days after devastating floods hit the region. The rescue brings a brief moment of hope amid the tragedy affecting the country.

Around 900 workers remain missing across 12 hydroelectric projects in Nepal. Local authorities believe approximately 500 of these workers may be trapped inside underground tunnels.

Rescue teams continue working to find survivors in the underground structures. The high number of missing people and the possibility of people trapped in tunnels make the situation particularly alarming for Nepali authorities.

The Lindsay Clancy case. Where does the father's responsibility begin and end or how "the one who is beside" can "save lives"

The Lindsay Clancy case in the United States is generating debate about the criminal responsibility of Patrick Clancy, the father of the three children killed by their mother, who suffered from mental disorders. The jury faces deadlocks in deliberations about Lindsay Clancy's guilt, while the central question is whether the father should have acted to prevent the deaths, given his knowledge of his wife's mental health situation. The article also explores the legal framework in Portugal, where a father in the same situation could be criminally liable for omission, questioning whether there are sufficient mechanisms to empower parents to recognize danger signs and intervene in a timely manner.
