More than 350 killed in Nepal amid fears of further flooding

More than 900 people are missing and at least 359 have died in Nepal.

Rescuers are looking for survivors after a massive flash flood on the Nepal-Tibet border destroyed homes, swamped roads, and swept away bridges. We speak to people in Nepal about the devastation. We also hear from relatives of those who are missing.

And following Meta's $18bn settlement with nearly every US state to resolve claims that Facebook and Instagram harm children, we speak to three people who have sought help for technology addiction.

Presenter: Pria Rai.
