Aus accused of 'environmental vandalism'+ Why is China censoring the Tibet floods?
About this episode
The episode discusses Australia's environmental accusations and China's censorship of the Tibet floods.
Thursday Headlines: Police identify four Swans players in sexual assault investigation Coalition to legalise vapes, lower cigarette prices if elected NSW police probe potential second mistaken identity fatality in Sydney Australia accused of 'environmental vandalism' at Pacific meeting Apple’s new CEO scores massive payday Deep Dive: Just over a week ago, a glacier collapsed high in the Himalayas and sent a wall of water, mud and rock tearing down the Nepal–Tibet border, killing more than a thousand people and leaving thousands more missing. Australians have seen the footage: the torrent flattening the border crossing as people ran for their lives. But cross to the Chinese side, and that same video has been scrubbed from the internet. Why? In this episode of The Briefing, Chris Spyrou is joined by ABC China Correspondent Allyson Horn to unpack what China is keeping from public view, and why, in one of the country's most tightly controlled regions, even a flood becomes something to censor.
