尼泊尔洪灾死亡人数超750，救援面临水位上升威胁

CHRISTINA: COMING UP ON BLOOMBERG THIS WEEKEND, DEVASTATION IN NEPAL. THE DEATH TOLL RISING FROM A CATASTROPHIC FLOODS WITH THOUSANDS STILL MISSING. A LIVE REPORT FROM INSIDE THE COUNTRY AS RESCUE CREWS RACE TO FIND SURVIVORS.

A POWERFUL NEW TELESCOPE BLASTS OFF THIS MORNING FROM THE KENNEDY SPACE CENTER. COULD IT HELP UNLOCK SOME OF THE UNIVERSE'S BIGGEST QUESTIONS? CHRISTINA: WHY WALL STREET'S NEXT GOLDMINE MIGHT BE RIGHT ON THE TOP OF YOUR HEAD. ♪ CHRISTINA: I FEEL LIKE OUR HEADLINES ARE DOING PRETTY WELL.

MINE IS NOT LIKE DAVID GURA'S. CHRISTINA: WELCOME TO BLOOMBERG THIS WEEKEND. I AM CHRISTINA RUFFINI.

I AM BAILEY LIPSCHULTZ, FILLING IN FOR DAVID GURA, AND ALL OF HIS HAIR. NO GLASSES BUT I HAVE THE BEARD. CHRISTINA: I'LL TAKE IT. BAILEY: WELCOME TO OUR LISTENERS AND VIEWERS ACROSS ALL OUR PLATFORMS. CHRISTINA: A LOT OF DIFFERENT NEWS TO GET TO TODAY. WE WILL TALK ABOUT CANADA AND WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE TRADE WAR. SOME VERY STRANGE THINGS HAPPENING ON THE INTERNET. BAILEY: THE INTERNET BUT ALSO IN REAL LIFE. IT INVOLVES BILL LAWRENCE.

CHRISTINA: THERE'S BILL LAWRENCE AND MEMES OF GEESE AND GUNS. WE WILL GO TO A REPORTER IN NEPAL WHO HAS BEEN DOING GREAT GROUNDWORK AS THE RESCUE EFFORTS CONTINUE. WE HAVE VENEZUELA, IRAN, THE ECONOMY. WE WILL BE HERE FOR YOU FOR THE NEXT THREE HOURS. HERE RIGHT NOW IS LISA MATEO. LISA: ICELANDERS HAVE REJECTED REOPENING MEMBERSHIP TALKS WITH THE EUROPEAN UNION. THE VOTE WAS NARROW. IN THE END, 52.8 PERCENT OF THE POPULATION VOTED NO.

THE GOVERNMENT HAS CALLED A PRESS CONFERENCE TO DISCUSS THE NEXT STEPS. YESTERDAY, ICELAND'S PRIME MINISTER SAID IT WAS AN EXCITING TIME.

IT'S BEEN JOYOUS TO SEE HOW WE PEOPLE HAVE BEEN ACTIVE IN THIS DEBATE. IT'S LIFTED DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THE E.U., ICELAND'S PLACE IN THE WORLD AND OUR GEOPOLITICAL SITUATION AND STATUS TO A HIGHER LEVEL. WHATEVER COMES OUT OF THIS, I WILL BE HAPPY WITH THE RESULT. LISA: EARLIER, THE PRIME MINISTER SAID E.U. ENTRY WOULD HELP BOOST TRADE. ALSO, A SHOOTING IN NORTHERN SWITZERLAND HAS KILLED ONE PERSON AND LEFT FIVE INJURED.

POLICE ARE STILL SEARCHING FOR THE SUSPECT. FIREFIGHTERS AND AMBULANCES WERE ON THE SCENE. POLICE IN NEIGHBORING GERMANY ARE ALSO TAKING PART IN THOSE SEARCH EFFORTS. NEPAL HAS ISSUED A NEW WARNING AS WATER LEVELS RISE, THREATENING TO IMPACT RESCUE EFFORTS. THE CATASTROPHIC FLOODING HAS KILLED HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS MISSING. WITH AT LEAST 690 PEOPLE CONFIRMED DEAD, OVER 3000 ARE STILL UNACCOUNTED FOR. IT WAS TRIGGERED BY A GLACIAL COLLAPSE.

THE USS ABRAHAM LINCOLN MADE ITS WAY THROUGH THE STRAIT OF SINGAPORE YESTERDAY. THE AIRCRAFT CARRIER WAS SUPPORTING THE U.S. WAR AGAINST IRAN AND ITS DEPLOYMENT INCLUDED A RECORD-SETTING UNINTERRUPTED TIME AT SEA OF MORE THAN 250 DAYS. A SPOKESPERSON SAID THE LINCOLN WILL STOP IN THAILAND FOR REST AND RECOVERY BEFORE RETURNING TO ITS U.S.-BASED. DOUG FORD IS RESPONDING TO PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP'S ATTEMPTS TO RENAME LAKE ONTARIO AT LAKE AMERICA.

YESTERDAY, A BILLBOARD SIZE MESSAGE WAS UNVEILED THAT SAID LAKE ONTARIO, NOW AND ALWAYS. HE WAS WEARING A TEAM CANADA SOCCER JERSEY AS HE POSED FOR PICTURES NEAR THE 24 BY 12 FOOT SIGN WHICH STANDS 18 FEET ABOVE THE GROUND. I GUESS HE WANTED HIS MESSAGE TO BE SURE. CHRISTINA: AND THEN UNDERNEATH IT SAYS IT IN FRENCH. MAKING SURE THEY HAVE ALL THE BASES COVERED. WE ARE GOING TO GO OVERSEAS. THIS MORNING, WE ARE CONTINUING TO FOLLOW THE LATEST IN NEPAL.

OVER 750 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN KILLED AND ANOTHER MORE THAN 3000 PEOPLE HAVE BEEN MISSING -- ARE MISSING. BAILEY: A FRESH WARNING HAS BEEN ISSUED AS WATER LEVELS IN THE KEY RIVER ROSE, THREATENING TO DISRUPT RESCUE EFFORTS AFTER THE CATASTROPHIC FLOODING. WE CHRISTINA: ARE GOING TO GO TO DAN, -- CHRISTINA: WE ARE GOING TO GO TO DAN, OUR SENIOR REPORTER. I KNOW YOU HAVE BEEN THERE FOR 24 HOURS. ACCESS IS REALLY TOUGH. YOU'VE BEEN TALKING TO PEOPLE AND VISITING HOSPITALS.

WHAT ARE YOU SEEING AND WHAT'S GOING ON? DAN: THAT'S RIGHT. HERE IN KATHMANDU, IT'S QUITE A SAD SCENE. WHAT YOU HAVE IS ESSENTIALLY THE TWO GOVERNMENT HOSPITALS THAT ARE TAKING WOUNDED, TAKING THE DEAD, THEY ARE ESSENTIALLY OVERRUN WITH PEOPLE LOOKING FOR INFORMATION ABOUT THEIR LOVED ONES WHO ARE LIVING OR WORKING IN THIS BADLY AFFECTED AREA. THE DISASTER ZONE IS STILL VERY MUCH KIND OF A NO GO ZONE. EVEN FOR RESCUE WORKERS WERE HAVING A HARD TIME BATTLING SOME WEATHER THAT IS WORKING AGAINST THEM, AS YOU SAID.

THERE ARE ADDITIONAL FLOOD RISKS THAT ARE TAKING PLACE. THIS IS THE MONSOON SEASON IN NEPAL. RAINS ARE QUITE HEAVY, EVEN ON A GOOD DAY. WATER LEVELS ARE RISING. AND AS YOU CAN SEE, THIS MUCK AND MIRE THAT IS NOW SORT OF DRENCHING A LOT OF THESE VILLAGES ARE JUST REALLY HARD FOR RESCUERS TO DIG THROUGH TO PULL OUT THE WOUNDED AND THE VICTIMS OF THIS TERRIBLE DISASTER THAT'S AFFECTING THE COUNTRY. BAILEY: WITH THOSE MORE THAN 3000 STILL MISSING AND THIS FRESH WARNING, IS THERE ANY SENSE OF HOW MONEY PEOPLE COULD STILL BE ALIVE?

DAN: THE WINDOW TO RESCUE PEOPLE IS ABOUT 48 HOURS. A BIT BEYOND. SO, THAT WINDOW HAS COLLAPSED IN THE LAST DAY OR TWO. AND SO, I WAS JUST AT A HOSPITAL , EARLIER THIS MORNING AND WE TALKED TO SOME HOSPITAL OFFICIALS THERE. WE ASKED THEM, HAVE YOU GOT ANY WOUNDED? AND THE ANSWER WAS NO, NO NEW WOUNDED PEOPLE HAVE BEEN BROUGHT IN AT THIS PARTICULAR HOSPITAL. RIGHT NOW, THE EFFORT IS UNDERWAY TO KEEP TRYING TO FIND PEOPLE.

WE FEEL IT FOCAL POINT OF THE RESCUE EFFORT IS UNDERGROUND TUNNELS THAT ARE LOCATED THROUGHOUT THIS RIVER AREA WHERE THE FLOODING TOOK PLACE. THESE ARE AREAS WHERE HYDRO-POWERED CONSTRUCTION HAS BEEN UNDERWAY FOR SOME TIME. IT'S A MAJOR AREA OF HYDROPOWER DEVELOPMENT. A LOT OF CONSTRUCTION IS UNDERWAY. YOU HAVE A SITUATION WHERE A LARGE NUMBER OF WORKERS IN THESE HYDROPOWER PROJECTS HAVE BEEN TRAPPED UNDERNEATH RUBBLE, DIRT, MUD, DEBRIS AND ARE IN THESE TUNNELS AND THERE IS A FRANTIC EFFORT UNDERWAY TO FREE SOME OF THESE PEOPLE AND SEE WHO IS STILL ALIVE IN SOME OF THESE TUNNELS.

THAT'S A MAJOR FOCAL POINT. THE RESCUE EFFORT IS VERY DIFFICULT. IT'S VERY TRICKY. THE WEATHER IS WORKING AGAINST PEOPLE ON THE GROUND. THERE IS JUST A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF UNCERTAINTY AS TO HOW MANY PEOPLE CAN STILL BE BROUGHT OUT ALIVE FROM THIS CATASTROPHE. CHRISTINA: FOR OUR TV AND ONLINE VIEWERS, WE ARE LOOKING AT RESCUE PHOTOS THERE ON THE LEFT SIDE OF YOUR SCREEN. DAN, I KNOW THAT IT IS TOUGH AND THERE IS NOT A LOT OF GREAT STORIES.

BUT THERE IS AT LEAST ONE. I'M CURIOUS HOW MUCH WARNING PEOPLE HAD BECAUSE THERE IS A VERY NICE STORY GOING AROUND ABOUT A SCHOOLMASTER WHO SEEMS TO HAVE BEEN ABLE TO EVACUATE ALL 1200 PEOPLE. SOMEONE FURTHER DOWN WAS ABLE TO CALL HIM AND WARN HIM ABOUT THE FLOODING. CAN YOU TELL US WHAT HAPPENED AND IN GENERAL, DID PEOPLE HAVE WARNING THIS WAS COMING?

THIS HAS BEEN A POINT OF CONTENTION. THERE WAS A LIMITED AMOUNT OF WARNING. THE WARNING SYSTEMS IN PLACE IN THIS AREA, MANY EXPERTS ARE SAYING WERE IN ADEQUATE. AND PART OF THIS HAS TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT THIS WAS IN A BORDER AREA BETWEEN NEPAL AND CHINA. THERE WAS PERHAPS SOME LACK OF COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THE TWO SIDES ABOUT PROVIDING THAT WARNING THAT WAS NECESSARY. BUT YOU ARE RIGHT, THERE HAVE BEEN SOME UPWARD DETAILS COMING OUT OF THIS DISASTER.

THE ONE YOU ARE REFERRING TO WITH THE SCHOOL BOARD HEADMASTER WHO MANAGED TO RESCUE OVER 1000 PEOPLE AND BRING THEM UP A HILL ESSENTIALLY AND OUT OF HARM'S WAY AS THIS TORRENT OF WATER AND MUD DESCENDED TO THE VALLEYS. ONE THING THAT WE ARE HEARING, THAT I AM HEARING IS THAT THE MANNER IN WHICH PEOPLE WERE ABLE TO REACT QUICKLY AND GET TO HIGH GROUND KIND OF MADE ALL THE DIFFERENCE. AND IT WAS REALLY SORT OF A MATTER OF MINUTES.

BUT, YOU KNOW, GETTING AWAY FROM THIS WATER AND JUST GOING UPHILL FOR THE SURVIVORS WAS REALLY KEY IN THAT SORT OF SMALL WINDOW OF TIME. I THINK A LOT OF THE SOCIAL MEDIA VIDEOS THAT CAME OUT IN THE WAKE OF THE DISASTER, YOU SAW PEOPLE DODGING THIS WALL OF WATER WITH ONLY MINUTES TO SPARE, SECONDS TO SPARE IN SOME CASES AND PEOPLE SCRAMBLING
