Death toll from Nepal-Tibet flood jumps to at least 469

The country's National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Authority says 80 bridges and 40km of paved roads have been damaged by the deluge

There are warnings of more possible flooding in northern Nepal as rescuers search for survivors of a flash flood that has killed at least 469 people in the country. Roads are caked in mud in Trishuli, with some vehicles half-buried.

There are fears of a secondary flood. We'll hear from a local politician about the impact on his district.

We look at a tragic case in the US where a mother on trial for killing her three children awaits the court's decision on whether post partum psychosis played a part in the events and whether she is criminally responsible for her actions.
