Catastrophic floods along the Nepal-China border have trapped hundreds of workers, primarily in hydropower tunnels, with rescue efforts intensifying amid growing fears of suffocation.
The devastating floods have resulted in over 950 deaths and left more than 4,400 people missing across Nepal and Tibet, including a significant number of foreign nationals.
Triggered by a glacial collapse, the disaster has also created a severe humanitarian crisis, with thousands requiring emergency water, sanitation, and psychosocial support, especially for vulnerable children.

President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
