Decoding the causes of the Nepal-Tibet flooding disaster

from PRI’s The World: Latest Edition · host PRI’s The World: Latest Edition

Flooding is common in Nepal, but the avalanche that triggered water and debris to surge down the Trishuli River was of an entirely different magnitude. We take a look at the causes behind the disaster. Also, a small village in France that’s become a popular place for students to learn about Chinese history. And, an art detective talks about how "smash and grab"-style museum heists have become a growing trend across Europe. Plus, a song about Gaza that’s gone viral for touching on the themes of colonialism and Indigenous people.Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices
