For a look at the news from around the world, we now turn to our Matthew Ashley standing by at the Arirang newsroom. Good morning.

Good morning.

Let's start in Nepal where floods and landslides have killed dozens of people. That's right,... local media reported on Wednesday that at least 35 people have died and more than 12 others are missing after prolonged monsoon downpours caused floods and landslides in Nepal's Karnali Province.
Thousands have also been displaced and a number of bridges have been washed away after the province's Karnali River rose to over 12 meters.
Nepal's army and police force are carrying out search and rescue operations.
But adverse weather is making operations difficult, with monsoon rain forecast until the end of October.
