Trapped Chilean miners speak to rescuers for first time
Thirty-three miners in Chile, who have been trapped underground for nearly three weeks, have spoken to rescuers for the first time.
They used a telephone line to say they were generally in good health.
The miners could be stuck in the mine near Copiapo until Christmas.
