00:01Rescue teams continue to search for more than 1,400 missing people
00:06after flash floods and landslides struck the border of Nepal and Tibet.
00:10Many of the missing are foreign tourists, including trekkers as well as Hindu pilgrims.
00:16The death toll of the devastating disaster meanwhile continued to rise to nearly 500.
00:42The death toll of the langer is of but also the death toll of the poor lady.
00:45They are not able to get this.
00:48The death toll of the people Англанд my friends as their families.
00:55We have not been able to get this.
00:56What did they say to do?
00:58The children of the old hospital were so badly treated.
01:07The disaster was likely caused by a glacial collapse that triggered ice, debris and water
01:12to come down into the valley. Fears of more potential floods remain as water is still
01:18trapped by piles of debris that are blocking the valley. Climate change is causing glaciers
01:23to melt worldwide, which is increasing the risk of glacial lake floods and glacial collapses.
01:34Protests over security in Ceuta escalated into clashes between locals and police on Thursday.
01:40The protests come a month after tens of thousands of migrants crossed into the Spanish enclave
01:45in North Africa from Morocco. Police charged protesters at a beach after a group of demonstrators
01:52moved into the area where migrants have been sleeping. Spanish public television broadcast
01:57images showing some belongings had been set on fire. Earlier that day, dozens of protesters
02:04staged a sit-in to temporarily prevent Red Cross vehicles from delivering aid to migrants
02:09camping on the beach. And a day prior, police had fired tear gas to prevent confrontations
02:14between protesters and migrants. Residents of Ceuta have held regular demonstrations over
02:22what they say are security and hygiene problems linked to the influx. More than 70,000 migrants
02:27entered Ceuta in late July, either by swimming or crossing on foot from Morocco. Although the
02:33majority returned back to Morocco, thousands remain in Ceuta, many living on the beach or in the streets.
02:42More than 1,000 earthquakes in just 10 days. The seismic swarm in Granada has once again
02:49raised the question. Could Spain soon experience a major earthquake? It's been about 140 years since
02:55one of Andalusia's major historical earthquakes. But that doesn't mean a countdown has begun,
03:01explains geologist Raúl Perez-López.
03:19Spain has more than 200 mapped active faults and tectonic energy continues to build up. The probability of a
03:27major earthquake may increase over time, but that does not mean it's imminent.
03:39If we can't know when it will happen, what can we do?
03:44Perez-López cites the recent earthquakes in Venezuela and Colombia as examples, similar magnitudes,
03:50but very different consequences. And although geological characteristics also played a role,
03:56the response of buildings is key.
03:58There are failures that may be possible to shoot terremotions, but we don't know if it's going to be today,
04:02tomorrow or within 50 years. We don't have the ability to know it. Our best tool is prevention,
04:08without any doubt. What kills terremotions is the seismic intensity and the response to the buildings.
04:13People live in buildings. If the buildings come down, we need to know what's going to happen.
04:21The meeting between the president of the Republic of Cyprus Nikos Kristodolides and the Turkish Cypriot leader,
04:28Tufan Erhurman, lasted almost three hours. The two leaders agreed to intensify their meetings,
04:34which will take place once a week, with the possibility of meeting more frequently should
04:39circumstances require. During their meeting, Kristodolides and Erhurman reviewed the progress
04:45made on the next steps, as set out during the recent visit of the United Nations Secretary General to Cyprus.
04:52It was a good meeting. I would like to talk about it. That's why it lasted about three hours,
04:58with the scientific period of time, to be alone, me and the Turkish Cypriot leader.
05:07We discussed things. We discussed, as I mentioned, the issues related issues.
05:14We discussed issues, as I mentioned, the issues of the
05:15differences, which are very important, the fact of the participation and intervention of the
05:50The meeting took place under the auspices of the United Nations and forms part of the ongoing
05:55efforts to advance the Cyprus settlement process.
05:57These efforts have intensified recently, with both Antonio Guterres and Ursula von der Leyen
06:03seeking to bring all sides closer together.
06:09U.S. President Donald Trump signed on Thursday an executive order renaming Lake Ontario to
06:14Lake America as a trade dispute with Neighbors Canada intensifies.
06:19And finally, I guess the purpose of this more than anything else is we're going to be changing
06:25the name of Lake Ontario, effective immediately to Lake America.
06:31That's going to take place right now as I sign the order.
06:36Asks whether the name change was a direct message to his northern neighbors, Trump responded.
06:55The Republican president mimicked a move he pulled off earlier in the year when he renamed
07:00the Gulf of Mexico to Gulf of America.
07:03The trade standoff began when Trump claimed that Canada was engaging in unfair trading
07:07practices with the U.S. and announced a 50% tariff on some $20 billion worth of their goods.
07:14A deal to end the dispute briefly seemed reachable, but it quickly imploded and both countries instated
07:21tariffs on each other.
07:22The row is the latest in a series of trade disputes which started last year with Trump's
07:27global tariffs, but despite the hostilities, the two countries still traded around $900
07:33billion last year.
07:39Due to droughts and water shortages, tons of fish have died at one of Hungary's largest
07:44fish farm complexes, Rettimajor, which covers 800 hectares of water.
07:49According to the fisheries owner, the problem was caused by the water authority, withholding
07:54water upstream of the lake system for irrigation purposes.
07:57Nem tudtuk az 50%-os vizet sem megtartani, a párolgás mértéke az elégtelen
08:02vizellátás katasztrofához vezetett.
08:04Körülbelül 150 hektárnyi területünk már szágazonál, ahogy látszik itt is.
08:08A másik, másik, kb 400 hektáron, 30-40 cm-es vízbe éldegél a hal, mert élni nem él, de éldegél.
08:16És kb. 200 hektár az, ami 250, amiben kb. fél víz fölött vagyunk,
08:21sőt, normális haltermel is folyik.
08:22According to Levi, maintaining water levels in these protected wildlife areas should have
08:29been a priority.
08:29The Water Management Authority said that water withdrawals by all users had been restricted
08:36due to water shortage even more severe than expected, but that restrictions on fishponds
08:41were limited to 20%, while water available for irrigation was restricted by 60%.
08:48It added evaporation from the 800 hektáre fishponds represented an irreplaceable loss of water
08:54water that dwarfed water consumption for irrigation. Both Levi and authorities stressed it is necessary
09:01to examine how water demands can be met amid changing precipitation patterns and extreme weather conditions.
09:16In Belgium, the world's top exporter of frozen fries, potatoes harvested this year are smaller than usual,
09:23reaching barely the size of ping-pong balls. Farmers' harvests have been hit by a devastating
09:28combination of weather extremes, including heavy rain and storms at the end of spring,
09:33before an exceptionally hot and dry summer.
09:36We see that the land is very dry. It is dry in the form of a block, so it is
09:43dry.
09:44We are just able to get out of the ground, and we see that they are very small for the
09:50date.
09:50We arrive at 15 août, and normally they should do at least four times the size of what they do.
09:57At the moment, we do not know how to get out of the ground with the land.
10:00But the Comyn family, who grows 500 hectares of potatoes, still has supply contracts to meet.
10:06Growers and processors negotiate delivery volumes and prices ahead of the harvest.
10:11The Comyns will use stocks from last year, when the harvest was exceptionally abundant.
10:16In Brussels, the owner of La Maison Antoine Frey Kiosk tries to adapt.
10:20What is the best is a long fish and a big fish. That's what is the best.
10:28But now, as the seasons vary very, very strongly, it is difficult to find the perfect fish.
10:38With a town full of supply, fry prices are likely to increase.
10:46Video games are taking center stage in Cologne as Gamescom, the world's largest annual video game event, launches.
10:54The event brings together thousands of industry professionals, developers, and fans to the western German city.
