Broadcast overview

The broadcast begins with a report of a 39-year-old man receiving treatment after an assault with a bladed weapon in Middlesbrough, with no arrests made. The main story is the catastrophic flooding in Nepal, where at least 356 people have been killed and more than 1,300 are missing, including 33 Britons. The disaster is believed to have been triggered by a glacier collapse in Langtang National Park, sending a torrent of water, mud, and rock through the Rasuwa region. King Charles and Queen Camilla expressed heartbreak, and the Prime Minister pledged £5 million in emergency support, including search and rescue teams and consular assistance.
Other news includes an inquest into the deaths of two police officers and five young men in a road incident on the A66, with causes of death given. A 19-year-old man was detained after a fatal attack at a school near Berlin, killing two people. Convicted war criminal Ratko Mladić, known as the butcher of Bosnia, died in a UN detention centre at 84. Japanese artist Yayoi Kusama died at 97. The Manchester Airport Group, which operates three UK airports, suffered a cyber attack leaking data of 8.7 million customers, though it did not affect safety.
