Severe flooding in the border region between Nepal and Tibet has resulted in at least 469 deaths, according to Nepalese police. Chinese authorities report that over 1,000 people, including 555 tourists, have been evacuated from the disaster zone, though they warn of a high risk of further flooding.
In Vienna, authorities are searching for two suspects who stole a high-value platinum necklace from the Museum of Applied Arts (MAK). The piece, which features 673 diamonds totaling 200 carats, was part of the ‘Glanzstücke’ exhibition.
