Thousands of volunteers are set to move the structure a total of 5 metres (16.4ft) in a symbolic, community-building effort, with the remaining 73 metres (240ft) to be carried out using machinery by the end of the year.

Typhoon Narra has caused widespread flooding across southern China’s Guangxi region after days of non-stop downpours. Buildings, including a tourist centre, stand partially submerged. Forecasters warn that the heavy rain will continue to pound the region through Wednesday, with Guangxi, Guangdong, Hainan and Fujian provinces all bracing for another round of torrential downpours. Indonesian police have arrested 72 individuals charged with setting 89 fires across nine provinces in Sumatra and the Indonesian side of Borneo. Authorities allege these fires were deliberately set to clear plantations cheaply, amid an intense El Nino pattern and prolonged dry season. Malaysians have launched a humorous appeal to New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani to help fix their potholes, sparking a meme fest praising his responsiveness and highlighting local government inaction. Mamdani made headlines earlier this year by leading efforts to fix more than 100,000 potholes in storm-damaged New York streets within his first 100 days in office. Adapting to climate change will be increasingly challenging as the weather worsens each year, Asia’s top climate scientist said in a wide-ranging interview with the South China Morning Post. Professor Ben Horton from Hong Kong’s City University also warned of “humanitarian disasters” as the world’s climate becomes more unstable and unpredictable. But despite Horton’s grim outlook, he remains hopeful that things can be turned around if action is taken promptly.
