Devastating flash floods have killed more than 350 people near Nepal’s border with Tibet. But the death toll remains fluid, with some 1,000 people still unaccounted for. Also, wildfires have raged for weeks in Indonesia, with smoke spreading into neighboring countries. And, former Serbian General Ratko Mladic, known as the “Butcher of Bosnia,” has died at the age of 84 in a prison hospital at The Hague, where he was serving a life sentence. Plus, Paris opens its first shop devoted exclusively to French butter.
