At least 34 people were killed in India's northeastern region after heavy floods caused landslides over the last four days, authorities and media said, with the weather department predicting more heavy rain.
More than a thousand tourists trapped in the Himalayan state of Sikkim were evacuated. Army rescue teams were pressed into action in Meghalaya state to rescue more than 500 people stranded in flooded areas.
In neighbouring Bangladesh, at least four members of a family were killed in a landslide in the northeastern district of Sylhet, while hundreds of shelters have been opened across the hilly districts of Rangamati, Bandarban, and Khagrachhari.
Authorities have warned of further landslides and flash floods, urging residents in vulnerable areas to remain alert.
India's northeast and Bangladesh are prone to torrential rains that set off deadly landslides and flash floods, affecting millions of people every year.

Dalai Lama confirms he will have a successor after his death
Exiled Tibetan spiritual leader the Dalai Lama has confirmed he will have a successor, putting to rest speculation over whether the 600-year-old institution will end when he dies. In a video message keenly-awaited by his followers, he said only the trust that he founded could appoint his successor and "no-one else has any authority to interfere in this matter". According to Tibetan tradition, Dalai Lamas are "reincarnated" after they die. China annexed Tibet in 1950 and the current Dalai Lama lives in exile in India, making succession a highly contentious issue. Beijing rejected the statement, saying his successor would be from inside China and must be approved by the government. Hundreds of followers gathered on Wednesday to hear the long-awaited announcement in the Indian town of Dharamshala where the Dalai Lama lives. The Dalai Lama Library and Archive centre, where the video message was broadcast, resembled a sea of maroon with monks from all over the world in attendance. "I am affirming that the institution of the Dalai Lama will continue," the Dalai Lama's statement said. He reiterated that "the Gaden Phodrang Trust, the Office of His Holiness the Dalai Lama... should accordingly carry out the procedures of search and recognition in accordance with past tradition". Who is the Dalai Lama and why does he live in exile? Dharamshala is holding the Dalai Lama's milestone 90th birthday celebrations which began on Monday - his birthday according to the Tibetan lunar calendar - and will conclude on 6 July, his official birthday. Celebrations will be attended by more than 7,000 guests, including a number of Indian ministers. Hollywood actor Richard Gere, a long-time follower, is also taking part. In the past, the Nobel Peace Prize-winning spiritual head of Tibetan Buddhism had been torn between whether to continue with the post of Dalai Lama or not. A few years ago, he said his successor might be a girl, or that there might be no successor at all. But in recent years, he had also said that if there was widespread support among Tibetans-in-exile for the post - which there is - then it would continue and his office would choose a successor. He has always insisted that his successor must be born outside China and his reiteration of the same on Wednesday did not go down well with Beijing. A Chinese foreign ministry spokesperson said that the Dalai Lama's reincarnation must comply with Chinese laws and regulations as well as "religious rituals and historical conventions" and would need to be approved by Beijing. Even though the Dalai Lama has always advocated a "middle way" to resolve the status of Tibet - genuine self-rule within China - Beijing regards him as a separatist. It says the standard of living of people in Tibet has greatly improved under its rule and denies suppressing their human rights and freedom of expression. A dam ignited rare Tibetan protests. They ended in beatings and arrests, BBC finds Dalai Lama furore reignites Tibet 'slave' controversy How China's boarding schools are silencing Tibet's language The Dalai Lama's message "affirming that the continuation of the institution" has been welcomed by his followers. Tsayang Gyatso, a 40-year-old businessman, said that for most Tibetans, the announcement is "a great relief and a moment of happiness". "I always had a belief that the reincarnation will come. But having heard it from His Holiness, I feel elated," he told the BBC in Dharamshala. Mr Gyatso, who had travelled from Delhi, said he felt "blessed to be here in person to witness His Holiness's birthday". He said there was "a lot of propaganda from China on the appointment of the next Dalai Lama" which made him fear that the appointment process could be corrupted "but all that has been put to rest by His Holiness's announcement". Robert Barnett, a Tibet scholar at the School of Oriental and African Studies in London, told the BBC that the Dalai Lama's "message is indirect signalling" to China. "He's signalling two things here. One is he's going to decide on his reincarnation, not China. And the other is he's showing China that he's made this decision through a kind of popular - almost democratic - process of asking the community whether they want his institution to continue." That's a signal to China that his legitimacy is based on consent and not on force, Prof Barnett said. Experts, however, say China is also expected to name its own Dalai Lama. Dibyesh Anand, professor of International Relations at the University of Westminster, said, "After a period of a few months or a few years, they will have their own proteges identify a small boy as the next Dalai Lama and impose that. Of course, a majority of Tibetans are going to reject it and the majority of people in the world are going to make fun of it. But remember China has immense authority in terms of resources so they will try to impose that." Youdon Aukatsang, an MP in the Tibetan parliament-in-exile, told the BBC that "despite all these years of trying to control the hearts and minds of Tibetan people inside Tibet", Beijing has "completely failed". A Dalai Lama chosen by China, she says, "will not be recognised, not only by the Tibetans but the world will not recognise it because China doesn't have the legitimacy to find the future Dalai Lama". "We are concerned but we know that irrespective of our concern, China will come up with their own Dalai Lama, we will call it the Chinese-recognised Dalai Lama. I am not worried that Dalai Lama will have any credibility in the Tibetan world or the Buddhist world." China 'coercing Tibetans into mass labour camps'

Here's the latest on the condition of Louisiana televangelist Jimmy Swaggart following heart attack
Louisiana televangelist the Rev. Jimmy Swaggart continues to cling to life in a Baton Rouge hospital without regaining consciousness following a heart attack at his home on June 15. A spokesperson for Jimmy Swaggart Ministries said Swaggart "is in the same condition — no change" in an email to USA Today Network on Wednesday. "He is currently in ICU surrounded by his family," ministry spokesperson Megan Kelly said. "There's still been no change. We are still in a holding pattern." Swaggart, 90, has led his Baton Rouge-headquartered ministry for decades with an international reach. His son, the Rev. Donnie Swaggart, said his father suffered cardiac arrest about 8 a.m. June 15. Donnie Swaggart said his father has been in grave condition following the heart attack. "Without a miracle, his time is short," Donnie Swaggart told the Jimmy Swaggart Ministries congregation. "But we believe in God. We're not giving up. We're going to give the Lord an opportunity to work." Swaggart is a native of Ferriday, growing up with famous musical cousins Jerry Lee Lewis and Mickey Gilley. He is the last surviving member of the musical trio. Swaggart's TV ministry reaches millions of Christians, but his career isn't without controversy. He admitted to adultery during a tearful confession to his congregation in 1988. Swaggart was defrocked by the Assembly of God church but continued his ministry. Swaggart's social media platforms have seen an outpouring of support for the minister, which his wife Frances said has comforted the family. "I wanted to take a moment and say thank you for your prayers — we feel them, and not your prayers only but also the love lifting them up before the Lord," Frances Swaggart said in a Facebook post. "Knowing that so many of you are praying for my husband and for us as a family — some of you praying by yourselves, others as entire congregations, even across denominations and from around the world — all of it is such a comfort and so moving, thank you."

Fact Check: 'Alligator Alcatraz' is real. Here's what to know about the Florida detention center
Claim: A migrant detention center known as "Alligator Alcatraz" was expected to open in Florida in 2025. Rating: Amid an immigration crackdown led by U.S. President Donald Trump's administration, posts that made the rounds online in late June 2025 claimed a migrant detention center known as "Alligator Alcatraz" would soon open in Florida. For example, one X user shared the following post: Similar claims circulated on Facebook. An account called "Donald Trump for President" shared this message on June 29, 2025: HUGE: Alligator Alcatraz is set to open in 2 DAYS Thousands of illegal aliens will be housed in the middle of the Florida Everglades surrounded by gators and pythons - and because it's at an airport, they can be deported EASILY! Construction is moving swiftly. Snopes readers also emailed us and searched our website to ask whether "Alligator Alcatraz" was real. A new temporary detention center known as "Alligator Alcatraz" officially opened in Florida on July 1, 2025, according to federal officials and Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier. Therefore, we've rated this claim true. As Snopes previously reported, Uthmeier proposed the detention center for migrants known as "Alligator Alcatraz." He posted a video detailing plans for such a facility on his verified X and Facebook accounts on June 19, 2025, and previously discussed the proposal during a segment with "Fox Business." At the time, Uthmeier described "Alligator Alcatraz" as a "one-stop shop to carry out President Trump's mass deportation agenda." In his video shared on social media, he said, in part: Florida has been leading on immigration enforcement, supporting the Trump administration and ICE's efforts to detain and deport criminal aliens. The governor tasked state leaders to identify places for new temporary detention facilities. I think this is the best one, as I call it, Alligator Alcatraz. This 30-square-mile area is completely surrounded by the Everglades [and] present a efficient, low cost opportunity to build a temporary detention facility because you don't need to invest that much in the perimeter. People get out, there's not much waiting for them other than alligators and pythons. Nowhere to go, nowhere to hide. The federal government confirmed several days later that it was partnering with Florida on "Alligator Alcatraz." In an X post shared on June 23, 2025, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) wrote: We are working on cost-effective and innovative ways to deliver on the American people's mandate for mass deportations. Alligator Alcatraz will expand facilities and bed space in just days, thanks to our partnership with Florida. In the days leading up to the opening of "Alligator Alcatraz," the Florida GOP also advertised official merchandise available to purchase online. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced that Trump and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem would travel to Florida on July 1, 2025, for the opening of a new migrant detention center at Dade-Collier Training and Transition Airport. The facility located "in the heart of the Everglades" would be "informally known as Alligator Alcatraz," Leavitt said. Uthmeier also announced the opening of "Alligator Alcatraz" in a post on July 1, 2025. The "state-operated facility" located in Ochopee, Florida, is "expected to have up to 3,000 beds," U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) said in an X post. Florida is planning to hold another 2,000 people in a separate detention center at a National Guard facility called Camp Blanding, state Gov. Ron DeSantis said during the visit to "Alligator Alcatraz." Construction on that facility is expected to start "right after" Independence Day, according to Florida Division of Emergency Management Executive Director Kevin Guthrie. During the visit, Noem encouraged other states to explore similar options. She said, in part: Florida was unique in what they presented to us and I would ask every other governor to do the exact same thing. This is unique because we can hold individuals here. They can have their hearings to get due process and immediately be flown back to their home countries. Prior to the opening of "Alligator Alcatraz," Noem also told CBS News that the detention facilities in Florida would be funded "in large part" by the Federal Emergency Management Agency's Shelter and Services Program, an initiative created by Congress that "provides financial support to non-federal entities" to offer shelter and related services to migrants released from DHS custody. The "Alligator Alcatraz" detention center is expected to cost $450 million a year, a U.S. official told The Associated Press. Snopes archives' contributed to this report.
