Helicopters sent to rescue children from a cable car stuck over a ravine in Pakistan have been stood down, after darkness fell.
Six people - four children and two adults - remain stuck in the cable car, which is in Battagram in northern Pakistan.
The child gripped a safety rope tightly while he appeared strapped in a harness, as he hung thousands of feet from the ground. He was later pulled inside the helicopter.
