China cracks down on scam centres in neighbouring Myanmar

In Southeast Asia, hundreds of thousands of people working in fraud centres are scamming people across the world. US authorities suggest the fraudsters are responsible for scams worth almost $10 billion a year against US nationals alone. Victims in Europe, the UK and China have also been targeted. Human rights groups further warn that those working in the centres are often themselves victims of human trafficking – forced to work as slaves.

Erdogan to sidestep Turkey’s constitutional term limits in early 2028 vote, adviser says

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan intends to run in an early election in 2028 in order to circumvent the constitutional term limits he would face if he serves out his full current term, a top adviser said Thursday. Under Turkey's constitution, parliament can trigger early elections given the support of 360 lawmakers, meaning the ruling AKP and its nationalist ally MHP will need support of at least 34 more lawmakers.

Nepal: Rescue efforts continue in the aftermath of a flash flooding disaster

Two weeks after the devastating flash floods, the number of dead and missing continues to rise. At Kathmandu’s public hospital, as well as outside the military base in Bidur, hundreds of photographs of missing people have been put up. Hundreds of families come forward, hoping for news – good or bad – of one or more loved ones. A race against time is underway: helping survivors, finding those still alive and identifying the victims. Rescue teams have been carrying out repeated helicopter flights, as air access is now the only way to reach remote areas cut off from the rest of the world. Civil society has also mobilised, particularly Nepal’s Generation Z.

Nepal: How are the hundreds of victims from the floods being identified?

#Nepal faces a major challenge: identifying the remains that have been found after the #flood that tore through part of the country on August 26, some of which are in an advanced state of decomposition. For #health reasons, the unidentified bodies have begun to be buried. Before each #burial, #DNA samples are taken and an identification number is assigned to each set of remains. Relatives of those reported missing can visit DNA collection centres to provide a sample. Their genetic profile can then be compared with that of the bodies found, in the hope of identifying them. FRANCE 24’s correspondents visited one such centre, set up within the #police #hospital in #Kathmandu.

'Glaciers in Himalayas retreating': Nepal floods triggered by 'glacier collapse & massive landslide'

Annette Young is pleased to welcome Joseph Shea, Glaciologist and Associate Professor at the University of Northern BC. Shea argues that the catastrophe should be understood as a compound event in which a glacier failure and a massive landslide occurred together. His analysis places the disaster within the broader, well-established transformation of the Himalayas under climate change. As warming changes high-mountain environments, scientists may increasingly need to identify subtle precursors to rare but potentially devastating cascading hazards.

Nepal floods 'unprecedented', requires new 'engineering approaches, risk-sensitive urban planning'

Genie Godula is pleased to welcome Dr. Basanta Raj Adhikari, Director of the Center for Disaster Studies at Tribhuvan University’s Institute of Engineering. He describes the disaster as an illustration of the limits of conventional prevention in the Himalayas. With flood velocities estimated at 170 to 180 kilometres per hour and hazards ranging from ice and snow avalanches to glacial lake outburst floods, he argues that comprehensive monitoring of Nepal’s exceptionally steep and complex mountain terrain is effectively impossible. Yet Adhikari’s analysis is not fatalistic. Instead, he shifts the emphasis from attempting to predict every extreme event toward risk-informed adaptation. Nepal, he argues, should identify high-risk hotspots through satellite observation, supplement these with ground-based monitoring and early-warning systems, and incorporate that knowledge into risk-sensitive land-use planning.
