REPORTER: We start with the latest on our breaking news, India fearing dozens
of people are dead after part of a Himalayan glacier collapsed.
It has sent a torrent of water rushing down a river where a hydroelectric
power station and several villages are positioned.
Several communities have been put on high alert for flooding, and people
are being evacuated further downstream.
We have a look at it on the map, we're talking very Northern parts of India here,
up through close to the Himalayas, obviously.
This is Rishiganga, which is one of the rivers which have been affected.
And as the map swings around you'll get an idea, first of all, of the proximity of
the Himalayas there from where the glacier has broken off,
and then as you come down the Rishiganga River, we find, uh, one smaller dam there,
and then further down a large hydroelectric project further downstream
in one of the other rivers, I've just lost it at the moment-- no, there it is.
Uh, coming down here as well, the Tapovan Mandir.
So, a lot of villagers and, as we said, two big hydroelectric projects are in
the path of all of that water.
