Broadcast overview

An AI-generated overview based on this broadcast's transcript.

Nepal's Foreign Minister said the country remains on high alert for fresh flooding after Wednesday's devastating floods and landslides, with the death toll rising to 676 and nearly 3,000 people unaccounted for, including 33 British nationals. The disaster was triggered by a partial glacier collapse near Langtang Lirung Peak, and heavy rain is hampering search and rescue efforts. In Tibet, a lake formed by the landslide has dissipated without causing a flash flood, but rescuers have reached the worst-affected area where 550 people are missing; foreign correspondents are not permitted to travel there.

In Ukraine, a Russian drone attack on a weapons factory in the Kiev region killed 37 people and injured 42, with President Zelensky expressing condolences and deploying over 300 emergency workers. The strike hit an ammunition storage facility, causing a massive explosion that displaced 400 families and scattered dangerous munitions. The president said rules were violated by storing ammunition so close to homes, and two defence company bosses are being questioned as an investigation into negligence proceeds.

In the UK, a sign fell at the Big Church Festival in West Sussex, killing a 41-year-old man and injuring six others; the organisers cancelled the remainder of the event, and the Archbishop of Canterbury offered prayers. More than 30 families have called for killers convicted of any form of manslaughter to be barred from early release, ahead of a government announcement regarding PC Andrew Harper's killers. Shadow Housing Secretary Sir James Cleverly resigned from the Conservative front bench to run for Mayor of London in 2028, and the former Duchess of York, Sarah Ferguson, is expected to return to the UK shortly after leaving Royal Lodge.

    Lubov points out where the burning ammunition came from, just 200 metres away, destroying their home of more than 30 years. I'm still kind of numb, I don't know. Once I come around a little tomorrow, I'll probably have an even bigger breakdown. Who do you hold responsible for this? Who? Russia, their government, the people, Russians themselves.

    I'll probably have an even bigger breakdown. Who do you hold responsible for this? Who? Russia, their government, the people, Russians themselves.
