## Resource

Hundreds of people are feared to have died in flash floods in Nepal, with many more missing. Meta has agreed to pay up to $18bn (£13.2bn) to dozens of US states to settle claims that its social media platforms harmed children. Also today, the latest from Middlesbrough where a deadly house fire and car crash have not been ruled out as being linked by police. And finally, a British AI success story as the first AI-assisted brain surgery takes place. Anna and Gareth have the day's news in just 10 minutes.
