Search and rescue teams continue operations in Nepal and Tibet after flash floods and landslides killed more than 600 people, with around 2,400 missing. The disaster was triggered by a partial glacier collapse near the Langtang Lirong peak, which caused a mudslide and formed a barrier lake containing over two and a half million cubic metres of water, with the risk of further bursting. In Nepal, over 18,000 security personnel and 40 helicopters have been deployed, while around 100 people remain trapped in a tunnel; on the Tibetan side, rescue efforts continue amid difficult conditions, though few survivors are expected among the more than 550 missing.

The former Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, is expected to return to the UK after being forced to move from Royal Lodge in Windsor, following the loss of her title in October due to links to Jeffrey Epstein.
