Hong Kong leader says fire investigation 'must uncover the truth' and promises construction reforms

Hong Kong is setting up an independent committee to investigate a deadly fire that burned seven apartment buildings and killed at least 156 people. City leader John Lee announced the committee Tuesday. He pledged that building renovation projects would be reformed. The fire started in scaffolding at the Wang Fuk Court complex and spread rapidly. It left many of the 4,600 residents homeless. Authorities have cited high winds and substandard materials as factors. Police and anti-corruption investigators have arrested at least 15 people, including construction company directors.

Deadly Asian floods are no fluke. They’re a climate warning, scientists say

Southeast Asia has been hit by unusually severe floods this year, with late storms killing more than 1,400 people and leaving hundreds missing across Indonesia, Sri Lanka, and Thailand. Scientists say the devastation reflects a warming global climate turbo-charged by record carbon dioxide levels and rising ocean temperatures, driving stronger, wetter, and more unpredictable storms. Governments across the region were unprepared and vulnerable communities were hardest hit. Economic losses already reach into the billions, while climate financing remains far short of what developing nations need. Without more aggressive action to counter climate change, experts warn that Southeast Asia faces a long future of escalating extreme weather.
