Despite local efforts to reinforce the area with sandbags, they were no match against the strong currents that overwhelmed the site due to severe erosion. Nepal observed a national day of mourning following a devastating glacial collapse near the China-Nepal border last month that unleashed deadly flash floods.

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has commissioned the country’s second naval destroyer, state media reported on Monday. The vessel equipped with nuclear-capable missiles was launched Sunday, the day before the US, South Korea and Japan started their latest trilateral military exercise, which Pyongyang sees as a security threat.

Hong Kong authorities will review a new reservation system for a Sai Kung trail famed for its dramatic volcanic rock columns after the National Day “golden week” in October, following large numbers of no-shows during the first two trial runs. Only 1,560 registered and walk-in patrons arrived at Po Pin Chau on Saturday and Sunday, despite 3,230 people having made bookings under the real-name reservation system. Lawmakers and a district councillor have called for more on-site quotas, clearer booking status information for walk-ins, and a penalty-points system to curb no-shows.

Two people, including a Chinese national, have been rescued 10 days after a glacial collapse caused a catastrophic flash flood disaster on the China-Nepal border. Lu Haitao, a Chinese national, became trapped in a 225-metre tunnel at the Upper Trishuli-1 Hydropower Project in Rasuwa district. He was rescued on Saturday by the Nepalese army. Aside from showing mild signs of hypothermia, Lu had no visible injuries and his vitals were stable.

A decade ago, Starbucks Malaysia launched an ambitious experiment to create meaningful career opportunities for the nation’s deaf community. The initiative evolved from offering entry-level jobs into establishment of the world’s first Starbucks Signing Store in Kuala Lumpur. Now, deaf employees are even able to build long-term careers and advance to management roles. As the pilot project changed lives, the concept was expanded to 26 stores around the world. But despite the programme’s success, major communication and educational barriers remain for disabled people hoping to enter the mainstream workforce. More on Hong Kong education: Since Hong Kong’s handover in 1997, the government has sought to transform the city’s education system from a colonial system focused on memorisation and exam pressure, and towards a more holistic development meant to foster lifelong learning. But decades on, competition has only grown stronger among Hong Kong’s young students, extending beyond the confines of the classroom and into their extracurricular activities. What are the factors driving this competition and what is being done to ease pressure on pupils? Massive lifts that ascend from a canyon floor in China’s Yunnan province have cut the commuting time for pupils from more than three hours to just 30 minutes. The pair of elevators replaced a punishing mountain trek with a rapid vertical journey. It’s astonishing and deeply disturbing to see just how far the Chinese are going to infiltrate America. Get the facts about how China has been CAUGHT conducting espionage in America on the latest episode of Verdict. Hong Kong authorities are capping access to a popular Sai Kung trail starting Saturday. Visitor numbers on the coastal Po Pin Chau section of the High Island Geo Trail will be limited to 2,000 per day on weekends and public holidays.

Next-generation skills that children need to outpace artificial intelligence and thrive in an ever-shifting job market are among the critical topics being discussed at the first Global Education Summit in Hong Kong. The two-day event, co-organised by SCMP Learn and HSBC Premier, brings together educators, policymakers and C-suite executives to discuss important issues concerning the future of education. The event also features exhibition booths from more than 40 top second and post-secondary institutions, giving attendees advice on what admissions officers are looking for beyond good grades. Artificial intelligence is no longer just changing the way people work, it is beginning to change who gets to keep their jobs. In China, a growing number of junior white-collar workers are being displaced as companies use AI to automate research, content creation, accounting and administrative tasks. With one in three job postings now considered highly exposed to AI, the technology is creating new opportunities but also raising a bigger question, will AI create enough jobs to replace the ones it eliminates?

After six decades of supplying restaurants across Hong Kong with high-quality, locally made fish balls, Kau Kei Food Factory is now also selling directly to customers – at a fraction of the price.
