Nepal-China border floods kill hundreds as Tibet death toll remains unclear

Catastrophic flash floods triggered by a glacial breach devastated villages along the Nepal-China border, killing at least 538 people on the Nepali side. China, however, officially reported only five deaths in the affected Tibetan region. Beijing's strict control over information flow in Tibet, a politically sensitive area, has made independent verification of casualties and damage nearly impossible.

Experts warn that the true human and material cost of the disaster in Tibet remains largely unknown.

IBM CEO Arvind Krishna, however, takes a more nuanced position, distinguishing between large and small meeting formats. Krishna views large gatherings primarily as information-sharing sessions, where device use may be acceptable. In contrast, he expects full, undivided attention from participants in smaller, face-to-face meetings. The differing views from two prominent CEOs highlight an ongoing debate around workplace meeting etiquette in the digital age.
