Um deslizamento atingiu a fronteira entre Nepal e China em 26 de agosto, soterrando túneis e usinas hidrelétricas.
Os serviços de emergência nepaleses conseguiram resgatar com vida nesta sexta-feira (4) dois trabalhadores de um túnel onde estavam presos desde o deslizamento que atingiu a fronteira com a China em 26 de agosto, anunciaram ministros.
"Fomos informados de que uma pessoa acaba de ser resgatada sã e salva do túnel de Trishuli-3", disse o ministro da Energia, Biraj Bhakta Shrestha, em um grupo de mensagens compartilhado com a imprensa.
"Acabamos de saber que uma segunda pessoa foi resgatada", acrescentou pouco depois Sudan Gurung, ministro do Interior.
Dezenas de socorristas nepaleses, com a ajuda de especialistas da Índia, da China e da Coreia do Sul, trabalham há uma semana na escavação de vários túneis que ficaram soterrados após a enxurrada, especificamente em instalações de usinas hidrelétricas ou barragens em construção.
Pouco depois do desastre, as autoridades estimaram em cerca de 100 o número de trabalhadores que poderiam estar presos apenas no túnel de Trishuli-3. Até sexta-feira, os socorristas haviam encontrado alguns corpos nos túneis da região, tomados por água e lama.
A avalanche de água, gelo e destroços, que destruiu vários vales da região fronteiriça entre o Nepal e a China, deixou pelo menos 1.280 mortos e mais de 5.600 desaparecidos, segundo os dados oficiais mais recentes.
Entre os desaparecidos, estão mais de 900 funcionários ou operários das usinas hidrelétricas nepalesas.
Os socorristas gritaram e comemoraram ao retirar um dos homens de uma abertura cheia de lama, como mostra um vídeo divulgado pelo Ministério da Energia. Eles o ajudaram a ficar de pé.

At a press conference, US Vice President J. D. Vance defended the war against Iran started by Trump, minimized the impact on fuel prices and stated that he did not know when the conflict would end, saying that the response depends on the Iranians.

Venezuela's deposed dictator Nicolás Maduro has asked a Manhattan federal judge to dismiss criminal drug trafficking charges against him, claiming judicial immunity as leader of a sovereign country. The accusations served as the basis for the American invasion of Caracas on January 3, which resulted in the capture of Maduro. He has pleaded not guilty and trial is scheduled for June 1, 2027, if the motion to dismiss fails. His lawyer argues that heads of state have absolute immunity and that the acts were carried out in the exercise of official functions. Experts say Maduro faces an uphill battle as the US has not recognized him as president since 2019 and courts tend to follow the US government's stance in recognition disputes. Since his capture, his deputy Delcy Rodríguez has led Venezuela and expanded cooperation with the Trump administration, including a deal for the US to take control of about a fifth of Venezuela's oil reserves. Prosecutors have until October 2 to respond and the hearing is scheduled for November 17.
