At least 1,924 people are missing in Nepal following Wednesday's flash floods, the Nepalese disaster relief agency says. Among them are at least 517 foreign nationals - but the situation is fast-moving and different authorities have produced different figures. We speak to aid workes and our correspondent in Beijing. We also speak to a local tourist guide and to a filmmaker who has used drones to help map the scale of the damage. Serbia's justice minister says the former Bosnian Serb army leader and convicted war criminal, Ratko Mladić, will receive all the military and state honours to which he is entitled. We speak our reporter from BBC Serbian. Presenter: Pria Rai. (Photo: A damaged chair at the site of a landslide in Devighat, Nuwakot district, Nepal, August 28, 2026.
