Nepal: Dam overflow leads China to suspend rescue operations

SAPO Notícias28 August 2026 at 06:26

Chinese authorities temporarily suspended part of the rescue operations in Tibet due to an emergency situation. The suspension occurred after a reservoir, formed as a result of flooding that hit the border with Nepal, began to overflow.

The overflow of the reservoir forced the interruption of rescue operations that were underway in the Tibet region of Chinese territory.

The situation is related to the heavy flooding that affected the border zone between China and Nepal, resulting in the formation of a reservoir that ended up overflowing, creating dangerous conditions in the region.

Chinese authorities made the decision to temporarily suspend rescue operations as a security measure given the risk presented by the overflow of the reservoir.

"Functional mother" or "puppet" of a voice? Everything said in the Lindsay Clancy trial

After the trial of Lindsay Clancy, accused of killing her three children in Massachusetts, the jury heard all witnesses and will now deliberate whether she has criminal responsibility. The defense argued that Clancy suffered from postpartum psychosis and was controlled by voices, describing her as a "functional mother" before the incident, while the prosecution questioned this narrative, suggesting she was a "puppet" of a voice without sufficient proof of severe mental illness. The case centers on determining whether Clancy acted with criminal knowledge and intent or if her mental condition exempts her from responsibility.
