China: 'critical stage' after deadly Nepal floods

dc

About this episode

The death toll in Nepal has risen to 547, officials say, after Wednesday's flash flooding devastated the Himalayan border region. Chinese officials say that search and rescue operations have reached a 'critical stage', as a lake dammed by a landslide is at risk of overflowing. Also in the programme: Norway has a new monarch, after the death of King Harald; and how climate change is affecting cheese makers in the French Alps.
