The death toll in Nepal from devastating floods on the border with Tibet has crossed 1,000, according to the country's disaster agency. Also on the programme, a special report from within Afghanistan looking at the thousands who have fled since the 2021 Taliban takeover; and we hear from the former girlfriend of Freddy Mercury, who stayed by his side until the end of his life.
