  • From the Times and the Sunday Times, this is an update from the story.

  • I'm Manveen Rana.

  • With at least 360 dead and many, many more missing, the scale of the tragedy in Nepal is still unfolding.

  • Given the scale of these flash floods and the devastation they've already wrought,

  • we wanted to bring you the latest from the region.

  • So here's my colleague John Pienaar on Times Radio.

  • The accounts and the camera footage now coming out of Nepal testify to the terrifying

  • scale of harm and destruction in the flash flood and to the fact that the official tallies,

  • 1,300 missing, including over 30 British tourists and more than 300 known to have died,

  • that it barely hints at the true level of loss.

  • There are fears that a second flood is imminent.

  • Britain has offered £5 million to help the Nepalese government with the relief effort going on.

  • And here's the Prime Minister, Andy Burnham.

  • These are such distressing scenes coming out of Nepal,

  • and we feel for the people there and everything that they're going through at this moment in time.

  • Such devastation of communities and already, sadly it seems, such huge loss of life.

  • In the past, Nepal has been there for Britain in our hour of need,

  • and we will be there for Nepal in its hour of need right now.

  • So the immediate offer that the Foreign Secretary has relayed to the Nepalese government is an offer.

  • Of first responders, search and rescue support.
