On the morning of August 26th, a mudslide on the Nepalese side caused significant casualties and missing persons at the Gyirong Port in Gyirong County, Shigatse City, Tibet.

The dam has already overflowed and is currently in stable condition, with a low probability of a complete collapse.On August 30th, a press conference was held in Gyirong Town, Tibet, regarding the "8.26" mudslide disaster. On the morning of August 26th, a mudslide occurred on the Nepalese side, causing significant casualties and missing persons at the Gyirong Port in Gyirong County, Shigatse City, Tibet. The conference explained that this disaster was caused by glacial instability due to long-term climate warming. The disaster was sudden, with a large peak flow, rapid movement, strong destructive power, and a wide impact area, representing a new and significant characteristic of cryosphere disasters in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau and surrounding areas. Monitoring revealed that the ice avalanche took only about 6 to 7 minutes from its occurrence to its impact on the Gyirong Port in my country.On August 30, it was learned from a press conference held by the Information Office of the Peoples Government of Tibet Autonomous Region that, through a joint comprehensive search and comparison of clues conducted by multiple departments including foreign affairs, public security, culture and tourism, and emergency response, 261 missing foreign nationals have been identified in the investigation of the Gyirong landslide disaster in Tibet. These individuals come from 23 countries: Kazakhstan (1), Malaysia (3), Nepal (104), India (49), South Africa (4), Ireland (2), Estonia (2), Germany (3), Russia (3), France (2), Finland (1), Netherlands (2), Latvia (33), Lithuania (1), Portugal (1), Ukraine (1), Spain (1), Hungary (1), United Kingdom (15), Canada (6), United States (18), Australia (6), and New Zealand (2). The Chinese side has notified the relevant embassies and consulates in China.According to Icelandic Broadcasting Corporation: Partial results of Icelands referendum on restarting EU accession negotiations show that the "yes" vote is leading by a narrow margin.On August 30th, it was learned from a press conference held by the Information Office of the Peoples Government of Tibet Autonomous Region that the cause of the mudslide disaster in Tibet has been determined. The Cryosphere Emergency Disaster Reduction Team of the Chengdu Institute of Mountain Hazards and Environment, Chinese Academy of Sciences, through analysis of remote sensing monitoring data and on-site feedback data, combined with field surveys and visits, concluded that: at approximately 10:52 AM Beijing time on August 26th, a glacier on the southern slope of Mount Lamtang in Nepal broke off at an altitude of approximately 5200 meters, causing an ice-rock collapse. The debris flow rapidly fell from a high altitude to approximately 4000 meters, eroding the mountain and forming a giant mudslide. After traveling at high speed for approximately 22 kilometers, it reached the Gyirong Port in China at an altitude of approximately 1800 meters, resulting in the razing of approximately 0.7 square kilometers and 27 buildings and related facilities in the area.

Before UK Employment And Japan GDP Data, GBP/JPY Recovers Above 158.50

In the early hours of Tokyo, GBP/JPY surpassed 158.50. After Friday's significant swings, it is anticipated that the cross's volatility will decrease. As the likelihood of scholar Kazuo Ueda being appointed the next Governor of the Bank of Japan (BoJ) grew, the Japanese Yen witnessed extreme volatility.

 

According to the Nikkei Asian Review, the Japanese Cabinet is anticipated to appoint Kazuo Ueda as the next Governor of the Bank of Japan (BoJ) when Haruhiko Kuroda steps down in April. According to sources, the Japanese government would appoint former FSA Chief Himino and BoJ Executive Director Shinichi Uchida as Deputy BoJ Governor.

 

The announcement prompted the Japanese Yen to climb perpendicularly, but Kazuo Ueda's assertion that the current monetary policy was appropriate halted the increase. Prime Minister Fumio Kishida of Japan reaffirmed that the administration will consider ending the decade-long expansionary approach under the new leadership of the Bank of Japan. Kazuo Ueda's divergent position on monetary policy diminished the likelihood of a withdrawal from accommodative monetary policy.

 

Investors are awaiting the Japan GDP (Q4) report on Tuesday. The growth of economic data is 2% annually and 0.5% quarterly.

 

British investors await employment data to determine the direction of the Pound. The three-month unemployment rate stays unchanged at 3.7%. Without incentives, average earnings are expected to increase by 6.5%. The Bank of England (BoE), which is battling inflation, may confront additional obstacles.

 

If we achieve our goal of halving inflation this year, we will have some of the best growth prospects in Europe, according to the British minister of finance, Jeremy Hunt.
