Broadcast overview
An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.
Rescuers in Nepal and Tibet are searching for survivors after flash flooding and mudslides on the Nepal-Tibet border, with Nepalese police reporting 469 dead and more than 900 missing, including over 600 tourists. The government has mobilized over 13,000 security personnel, and fears remain that an artificial lake formed by mudslides could burst, triggering a second flood, while rain is expected to hamper efforts. The US Geological Survey says the disaster was triggered by a glacial collapse, and BBC climate editor Justin Rowlatt reported that scientists believe climate change was likely a factor in the event.
Sky watchers around the world witnessed a rare blood moon lunar eclipse, with the moon taking on a red glow as it was almost completely covered by the earth's shadow, visible from much of Europe and America. Elsewhere, a BBC report on the occupied West Bank detailed rising violence by Jewish settlers, which is set to reach record levels this year, with more than 60 incidents counted in the past week, including a teenager shot dead, beatings, arson, and a donkey tortured, as settlements expand.
European football's governing body, UEFA, is preparing to bring criminal legal claims against FIFA president Gianni Infantino over his abandoned plans to sell off stakes in the World Cup to private investors. UEFA has asked for access to documents for use in legal proceedings in Switzerland, accusing Infantino of criminal mismanagement over the plan to sell a 20% stake for three billion pounds, and is seeking evidence from Thrive Capital and its founder Josh Kushner.
