How a distress call to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ led to the rescue of six women trapped in a lorry
Six women have been rescued from the back of a lorry in France, after the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ helped track them down and alert the police.
The four Vietnamese and two Iraqis, thought to be migrants, were trapped inside, panicking and struggling to breathe.
The ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ then helped to contact the police, who stopped the lorry. French police have arrested the lorry driver and opened an investigation into a suspected human trafficking operation.
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Newshour's James Menendez spoke to the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Vietnamese Service Khue B. Luu, who was in direct contact with one of the women inside the lorry.
