Hundreds Missing After Laos Dam Collapse

BBC World Service - BBC OS, Hundreds Missing After Laos Dam Collapse

Hundreds of people are missing after a dam under construction collapsed in Laos

Hundreds of people are missing and an unknown number are dead after a dam under construction collapsed in south-east Laos. Also, at least 60 people have died in wildfires in Greece's worst fire disaster in more than a decade. And we hear about Nigeria's top football coach taking money from men posing as agents.
