Bali tourist island of Indonesia for six days has been rescued, Indonesian authorities
said on June 7.

four-metre-deep concrete pit after a farmer in Pecatu village raised the alarm.
Head of the team Gede Darmada said the victim’s calls for
help were heard by the local farmer. Roberts broke his legs after he stumbled into
a near-empty well, trying to evade a dog that chased him through the village.
