This is the week in news and what’s coming up with Claire Kimball
and Kate Watson. We're starting in Nepal, where an avalanche near
the border with Tibet triggered a catastrophic flood down a valley
popular with trekkers and pilgrims. Hundreds are dead and many more
are missing, including Australians. We'll take you through how it
happened, and why the early warning systems didn't do their
job. Then to Meta, which has settled a multi-billion dollar
lawsuit over claims its platforms harmed young people. Claire's
retail corner returns - she’ll explain how Ooshies and Sumo
mandarins factored into Woolworths’ massive profits. And
Dolly Parton died this week, aged 80. We look at her musical
legacy, her sharp business instincts, and how she managed to stay
beloved on both sides of American politics. Links The BBC’s Nepal
