BBC News

Prime Minister Andy Burnham announced changes to the prisoner early release scheme, meaning those convicted of manslaughter, including PC Andrew Harper's killers, will be excluded from early release in England and Wales. The changes also cover indecent assault, death by dangerous driving, and historical child sex offenses. The government says this will keep hundreds more prisoners in jail, and plans to deport more foreign criminals and end indeterminate sentences for public protection. The Conservatives accused the Prime Minister of changing position weekly, and the victims commissioner noted some families still face an agonizing wait. Full details are expected when MPs return to the Commons next week.

BBC News

The authorities in Nepal reported a rising death toll from catastrophic flash floods on the border with Tibet, with more than 670 dead and nearly 3,000 missing, including 33 British nationals. The floods were caused by a partial glacier collapse near Langtang Lirung peak, and heavy rain was hampering rescue and aid efforts. In Ukraine, a Russian drone strike on an ammunition storage depot on the edge of Kyiv killed 37 people, with President Zelensky calling it negligent to store explosives so close to homes. The explosion devastated the surrounding area, displacing 400 families, and an investigation into the incident is underway.

BBC News

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.

BBC News

The number of people known to have died in the devastating floods and landslides on the Nepal-Tibet border has risen to 626, with more than 2,400 unaccounted for, including 33 British nationals. The disaster was triggered by the partial collapse of a glacier near the Langtang Lirong peak on Wednesday, and rescue efforts are being hampered by heavy rain. A correspondent described the devastation in Nuwakot, where a survivor spoke of his fear and uncertainty, while later reports from BBC Nepali indicated the death toll had risen to 669 and more than 3,200 were missing, with challenges including identifying bodies, decomposition, and a lack of proper equipment and coordination.
