HONG KONG, Sept 14 (Reuters) - The Himalayas are approaching a tipping point as glaciers melt faster than a decade ago, threatening water security as the region approaches "peak water" by mid-century, according to a study released this month.
The findings come after the collapse of a Himalayan glacier in late August along the Nepal-Tibet border, which caused cascading landslides and flash floods in the valleys below. At least 1,300 people have been confirmed dead and more than 5,300 are missing across Nepal and China's Tibet region.
As glaciers retreat, they are leaving behind unstable glacial lakes held back by little more than loose rock and ice, above valleys where millions of people live, the study found.
The study was produced by Systemiq, a sustainability advisory firm, together with the Integrated Mountain Initiative, the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development, and India's G.B. Pant National Institute of Himalayan Environment.
Himalayan glacier mass loss had accelerated in recent decades, while only 21 glaciers were currently monitored on the ground out of an estimated 40,000 glaciers across the Hindu Kush-Himalaya region, a vast mountain system spanning eight countries from Afghanistan to Myanmar, the study found.

Jordyn Woods pulled off a move that only a few people dare to do, and that was to wear her own shoe designs to New York Fashion Week. The model and fashion designer attended the Michael Kors spring 2027 fashion show on Friday wearing a feathered sandal from her own shoe collection. Jordyn Woods Stephanie Augello Woods opted for the Woods by Jordan Stunt Sandal in gray. The bold slip-on feather sandal heels are a modern take on a traditional sandal. They are designed with a micro squared open toe, a comfortable and thong toe strap, all while balancing on a stable 4.25-inch heel. The slip-on shoe features a thoughtful wide-foot design and a cushioned footbed. They are designed with a 3.5-inch-tall feathered cuff, which can be steamed to fluff out the feathers for a fuller look. While the gray style is not currently available on the website, the designer offers the shoes in orange faux ostrich leather, denim, croc-embossed banana yellow, black leather, black feathers and white feathers. The shoes retail for $295. Courtesy of Woods by Jordyn. She paired the shoes with a look from the Michael Kors Collection. She opted for a sleeveless feather-trim wool tweed knit sweater paired with the matching

Princess Diana's head-turning "revenge dress," which broke royal protocol and created a sensational pop culture moment, is going on sale for the first time in nearly 30 years.
The showstopping evening gown by Greek designer Christina Stambolian will be exhibited in London this month, before heading to Hong Kong, Geneva, and finally New York, where it is expected to sell for up to $300,000 when it goes under the hammer on December 9.
The late Princess of Wales wore the black, figure-hugging dress on June 29, 1994 — the same day that her then-husband, now-King Charles III, admitted in an ITN documentary that he'd been unfaithful. The revelation had been leaked days prior by the British press and the documentary aired to 13 million viewers nationwide.
Yet Diana chose to arrive for a party at the Serpentine Gallery in London in a gown so captivating it received its own moniker, becoming known as "the revenge dress."
Pairing the shoulder-baring silk design with black heels, a black clutch, bold red nails and a jeweled chocker – created from an antique diamond and sapphire brooch that Queen Elizabeth, the Queen Mother, gifted her for her wedding, according to Sotheby's – Diana reclaimed her image in the public's imagination.

Baidu announced on September 4 that its Hong Kong Class A shares are now included in both the Shanghai-Hong Kong and Shenzhen-Hong Kong Stock Connect programs, effective September 7.. The change gives eligible mainland investors direct access to the Hong Kong listing, potentially widening liquidity and the shareholder base. It does not alter the operating competition between Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU) and Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA), which are pursuing AI through different mixes of models, cloud infrastructure, chips, and consumer distribution.
Baidu's bull case combines search traffic, its Ernie ecosystem, cloud services, and Kunlunxin chips. Stock Connect can make that story easier for mainland investors to own, while its dual-primary Hong Kong listing broadens access. The bear case is that improved trading access does not repair weak advertising, guarantee cloud share, or remove geopolitical and regulatory risk. The catalyst affects liquidity more directly than earnings.
Insider Monkey counted 49 hedge funds holding Baidu, Inc. (NASDAQ:BIDU) at June 30, down from 50 at March 31. David Tepper's Appaloosa Management disclosed 1,295,000 shares, 87% more than in Q1. That increase shows one manager's conviction, not a broad rise in fund participation.
Alibaba's June-quarter AI Cloud and Compute Services revenue reached $7.1 billion, up 45% year over year, while segment adjusted EBITA rose 133% to $830 million. Its bull case is a full stack spanning Qwen models, cloud, proprietary chips, and commerce distribution. The bear case is capital intensity, fierce domestic competition, exposure to consumer spending, and the possibility that fast AI growth remains too small to transform the larger group's valuation.
Ninety-seven hedge funds held Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE:BABA) in Q2, down from 102 in Q1. Ken Fisher's Fisher **** et Management disclosed 5,096,418 shares after trimming the position by 0.5%.

Over the past several years, Angel Reese has emerged as one of the most high-profile female athletes on the planet. With that, however, has come some unwanted attention when she posts certain photos on social media.
Reese has never been shy about sharing photos in bikinis or other forms of revealing clothing. And she made it pretty clear that she has no intention of apologizing for it.
In addition to sharing bikini photos on her own social channels, Reese has also appeared in the SI Swimsuit and has also partnered with Victoria's Secret on a number of occasions.
Back in 2023, when Reese was still with the LSU Tigers at the college level, Reese posed with SI Swimsuit for the first time.
"I had on thong bathing suits and I didn't think I was going to be comfortable, but [everyone] made me feel really comfortable," Reese said at the time. "I work out a lot. I embrace my body and who I am and every mark on my body. I probably feel the ******* iest in a bathing suit."

NEW DELHI: The no-handshake saga between India and Pakistan continued in women's cricket as Harmanpreet Kaur and Fatima Sana once again refrained from exchanging the customary gesture during the toss ahead of their Women's Asia Cup 2026 clash in Dubai on Saturday.
Pakistan captain Fatima Sana won the toss and elected to bat first, with the latest India-Pakistan encounter beginning with the now-familiar absence of a handshake between the two captains.
The no-handshake stance has continued across India-Pakistan cricket encounters since last year, with the protocol also observed when the two sides met during the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup in Birmingham.
The focus, however, quickly shifted to the contest itself, with Pakistan looking to post a challenging total after opting to bat.
"We're gonna bat first because we want to put a maximum total here. [Did the last game influence this decision?] Yeah, because we know we have a good bowling side, so we will try to restrict them. [How have you addressed the batting wobble?] We had a good chat with the team, and we just want to play according to the pitch," Sana said.
India entered the contest in a strong position after winning their opening two matches against Thailand and Hong Kong, China, and securing a place in the semi-finals. Pakistan, meanwhile, began their campaign with a win over Thailand and still have a group-stage game against Hong Kong, China after the India clash.
India have also enjoyed a dominant recent record against their neighbours in T20Is, having won nine of their last 10 meetings, with their only defeat in that stretch coming during the 2022 Asia Cup.
Harmanpreet said India were happy to bowl first, backing their bowling attack to restrict Pakistan to a manageable total.
"Our bowling is doing great in this tournament, and good to get the opportunity to bowl first. [How challenging is chasing?] I think while batting it's always about giving ourselves some time and then going for your shots. And I think the first two games we did really well in that department, and hopefully we'll continue. [On leading for the 150th time in T20Is] Great achievement. But the key is to keep enjoying yourself on the field, and that is key; I try to keep up with that. [What score would you like to chase?] We'll try to restrict them to a short total, so there won't be pressure while chasing," she said.
The India captain also entered the record books on Saturday, becoming the first cricketer — male or female — to captain in 150 T20I matches.
Harmanpreet's landmark came in the same match in which India are aiming to complete a perfect three wins from three in the group stage.
Sri Lanka's Chamari Athapaththu is second on the list with 121 matches as captain, followed by Australia's Meg Lanning on 100.

India and Pakistan are about to face off in Dubai, in a Group A clash in the Women's Asian Cup, on Saturday evening.
India hasn't put a foot wrong so far in the tournament. They dismantled Thailand by 94 runs in their opener, then turned the screws even harder against Hong Kong, as they won by 137 runs to wrap up their semi-final spot ahead of schedule.
The top two in each group advance, and India has already made sure of that. But finishing as group leaders still matters, and they'll be going full throttle here.
Meanwhile, Pakistan put Thailand away convincingly, and, with a game against Hong Kong still to come, they also have the chance to emerge as group leaders.
That makes this match against India something of a golden chance: beat the group leaders and walk into the knockouts without a single loss on their record and as pool toppers.

India are set to renew their rivalry with Pakistan in their final league-stage match of the Women's Asia Cup on Saturday, with senior all-rounder Deepti Sharma confident that the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side can maintain its recent dominance over its neighbours.
India have already secured their place in the semifinals after registering convincing victories over Thailand and Hong Kong. They currently sit at the top of Group A and will enter the Pakistan clash as clear favourites.
Speaking at the pre-match press conference on Friday, Deepti pointed to India's strong record against Pakistan and said the team would aim to maintain that edge.
"Look, there is no advantage as such. The only thing is that whatever we have won against them (Pakistan), whether it is the Asia Cup or any other matches, we are always one step ahead of them. And that's it," Deepti said.
Deepti stressed that India would not get distracted by Pakistan's strengths and instead concentrate on maintaining their own balanced approach.
"The whole team is performing well. If you look at the bowling unit or the batting unit, I think both things are balanced. The one who has a good day, she tries to do better and take the game further. And those around her, they try to stay positive things so that they step in more in their game," she said.
Asked about Pakistan's bowling attack, Deepti acknowledged the threat but insisted India would stick to their plans.
"Our team is also good and their bowlers are also good. We know that. But we focus more on the strengths we have. And as I said, we want to play a good brand of cricket. That's what we are focusing on. We just want to play good cricket. As a bowling unit, as a batting unit, the team should be as compact as we are playing in two games. That's the mindset," she added.
India have dominated the rivalry in women's T20Is, winning 14 of their 17 meetings with Pakistan, while Pakistan have three victories. The recent record is even more emphatic. India defeated Pakistan by 64 runs in the 2026 Women's T20 World Cup, while also winning their previous two meetings in the 2024 T20 World Cup and Asia Cup.
Pakistan's most recent victory over India came in the 2022 Women's Asia Cup, when they secured a 13-run win.

Sept. 4 (UPI) -- Kentucky Downs' really big-money races and some hot events for 2-year-olds compete on the weekend horse racing calendar that also includes a foreign docket -- the Arc previews in France, the start of Hong Kong's season and Korea's biggest day of horse racing.

Ryan Moore makes a first-ever appearance at Kentucky Downs on Saturday with his best chance to snag a winner, Causeway, in the $3 million Grade II Nashville Derby.
The Wootton Bassett colt won four straight races for Coolmore and trainer Aidan O'Brien before finishing a distant seventh in the Group 1 Grand Prix de Paris in his last start, which came on soft turf.
Three other tough foreigners are here, and the locals frankly look outgunned. But anything can happen over 1 3/16 miles on the winding, undulating course.

MUMBAI: Former India captain Diana Edulji feels it's time to appoint vice-captain and superstar batter Smriti Mandhana as captain of the Indian women's team "in all three formats of the game."
Mandhana became the leading run-getter in women's internationals, en route to her hundred (124) in the Women's Asia Cup 2026 on Thursday against Hong Kong in Dubai. She broke former Indian women's captain Mithali Raj's record of 10,868 runs. Mandhana also broke the record for most centuries (18) in international cricket, the most by any batter in the women's game, surpassing Meg Lanning and Laura Wolvaardt, who have 17 apiece. Mandhana has two hundreds in T20Is, two in Tests and 14 in ODIs. The elegant left-hander has 93 fifty-plus scores across formats in international cricket, the joint-most by any batter, alongside Raj.
It was also Mandhana's second T20I hundred, thus making the 30-year-old the first Indian woman to score multiple centuries in the shortest format of the game.
"I congratulate Smriti Mandhana on becoming the leading run-getter in women's internationals. I feel that it's high time that the national women's selection committee, led by Amita Sharma, appoints Smriti as the new captain in all three formats of the game. Harmanpreet Kaur can continue to play as a senior player in the side," Edulji said while talking to TOI.
Explaining the reasoning behind seeking a transition in captaincy, Edulji said, "All I'm saying is that Harman is already in her late 30s (37). When would you want her to give up the captaincy and give it to Smriti, who has just entered her 30s (30). I don't want Harman to be dropped from the Indian team. I've no ill-feeling towards her. She's still a great player, but I think Harman should be relieved of the captaincy pressure, and left to just concentrate on her batting, because runs aren't coming off her bat. Harman's form is crucial for our team to win more championships. This move will increase her time span in the India XI. It's very important that someone scores runs in the middle order, because we can't keep depending on our openers all the time. So, I think that this is the right time for Smriti to take over the India captaincy. Her confidence and skill level are high right now. And let Smriti take it forward from here, so that she has a long run (as a captain) then. At least give her white-ball captaincy for now, and maybe Harman can continue as a Test captain."
"After a few years, Smriti will be in her late 30s; then what do we do? Whom do we train after that (for India captaincy)? Right now, we can have Jemimah (Rodrigues) or Shafali (Varma) as the vice-captain, and train them (for the bigger responsibility)," Edulji said.
"Well deserved, Smriti! I've watched you grow from a young player into one of the finest batters India has produced. To see you go past my record and become the highest run-scorer in international cricket is a moment I'm genuinely proud of. Here's to many more runs and milestone
Mandhana became the leading run-getter in women's internationals, en route to her hundred (124) in the Women's Asia Cup 2026 on Thursday against Hong Kong in Dubai. She broke former Indian women's captain Mithali Raj's record of 10,868 runs. Mandhana also broke the record for most centuries (18) in international cricket, the most by any batter in the women's game, surpassing Meg Lanning and Laura Wolvaardt, who have 17 apiece. Mandhana has two hundreds in T20Is, two in Tests and 14 in ODIs. The elegant left-hander has 93 fifty-plus scores across formats in international cricket, the joint-most by any batter, alongside Raj.
It was also Mandhana's second T20I hundred, thus making the 30-year-old the first Indian woman to score multiple centuries in the shortest format of the game.

A Rhode Island-based medical equipment company has terminated an employee after the individual was linked to a racist message sent to Los Angeles Sparks forward Dearica Hamby, adding another chapter to growing concerns about harassment directed at WNBA players. The development follows an internal investigation prompted by Hamby's public disclosure of the message on social media, Yahoo! Sports reported.
The controversy began in late August when Hamby shared a screenshot of a text message she said had been sent to her personal phone number. According to reports, the message included racist language and offensive imagery. Hamby posted the sender's phone number on X and asked followers whether anyone recognized it, prompting widespread attention online.
Social media users subsequently identified the individual believed to have sent the message and connected the person to Acclaro Medical. After learning of the allegations, the company announced that the employee had been suspended while an investigation was conducted. Days later, Acclaro confirmed the individual was no longer employed by the company.
In statements provided to media outlets, Acclaro Medical said it condemns racism, harassment, hate speech and discrimination. The company also emphasized that the conduct allegedly involved does not reflect its values or standards.

Strategy CEO Phong Le said the firm could continue buying Bitcoin at $130,000 and suggested those purchases would look attractive if BTC later reached $260,000.
Le defended Strategy's sale of roughly 7,000 BTC, arguing it represented less than 1% of its holdings and helped strengthen the company's balance sheet.
Trader Ted Pillows believes Bitcoin could reach $100,000 in 2026, but said it must first record a strong weekly close above $83,000.
Strategy CEO Phong Le has backed Bitcoin to eventually reach $260,000 and said the company could continue buying even after BTC enters record-price territory.

Smriti Mandhana's record-breaking 124 and a clinical bowling effort helped India crush Hong Kong by 137 runs in their Women's Asia Cup 2026 clash in Dubai. After posting 193/5, India bowled Hong Kong out for just 56 in 16.2 overs to seal a massive win and book their place in the semi-finals.
Hong Kong won the toss and elected to field, but Mandhana quickly put their decision under pressure. The India opener and Shafali Verma gave their side a strong start, with Verma smashing 28 off 17 ***** before departing.
Wickets began to fall regularly after the opening stand, but Mandhana continued to attack from one end. She reached her half-century in 40 ***** before dramatically increasing the tempo, bringing up her century in just 57 deliveries.
Mandhana finished with a sensational 124 off 64 ***** , hitting 14 fours and seven sixes at a strike rate of 193.75. The innings took her to 18 international centuries, moving her past Meg Lanning's tally of 17 and making her the leading century-maker in women's international cricket.
She also broke Chamari Athapaththu's record for the highest individual score in Women's T20 Asia Cup history, surpassing the Sri Lankan's unbeaten 119.
Mandhana's innings eventually ended in the final over when she was run out after a mix-up with Bharti Fulmali. Her dismissal, however, came after she had already powered India to a formidable 193/5.
Hong Kong's chase never got going as India's spin-heavy attack strangled the batting lineup from the beginning. They slipped to 32/3 and struggled to score freely against India's disciplined bowling.
Deepti Sharma led the attack with 3/9 from three overs, removing key batters Natasha Miles and Yasmin Daswani while keeping the scoring rate under control. Prema Rawat, Nandani Sharma and Shree Charani then continued to chip away at the Hong Kong batting order.
Marina Lamplough offered some resistance with 14, but Shree Charani eventually removed her before the lower order folded quickly. Nandani Sharma claimed two wickets, while Prema Rawat finished with two as India's spinners kept the pressure on.
Hong Kong were eventually bowled out for just 56 in 16.2 overs. Shree Charani completed the victory by stumping Shanzeen Shahzad after a sharp piece of work from Richa Ghosh.

For the launch of the 2026/27 kits, Juventus and adidas have chosen to transform teasers, speculation and unofficial images into a fully-fledged narrative, turning the traditional logic of a reveal on its head.
This has given rise to a campaign structured as a collective investigation. The product is not simply unveiled, but gradually uncovered through clues, content and links designed to spark fans' curiosity and fuel online conversation.
Leaks, details appearing online and unexpected content thus become the pieces of a mystery to be solved. Episode by episode, the campaign engages fans, influencers and key figures from the Club in a story that blends sport, entertainment and digital language.
Evidence, documents, photographs, notes and links punctuate the journey, inviting the community to follow the trail, interpret the clues and play an active part in the investigation. Leading the investigation are Luciano Spalletti and Gianluca Gazzoli, the protagonists of a narrative that blends mystery, humour and entertainment. Through their eyes, fans are drawn into an ongoing case, following leads and piecing together the truth behind the leaks.
First, the American wrestler Je'Von Evans appeared in the WWE Raw ring in Detroit wearing the Away Kit. Next came Kenan Yildiz, who teased the release of the Third Kit on his social media channels – a kit that had already been spotted a few days earlier in Hong Kong and worn by some local content creators during the Bianconeri Stripes Party organised by adidas on 4 August. The final act then took place in Perth, at the Bianconeri's headquarters 'Casa Juventus', involving influencer Ben Black and Alessandro Del Piero, who reprimanded the British content creator for spoiling the Third Kit on his social media channels.

And these innings were very informative, not just because of the match stats. They told us quite a bit about Chaiwai's role in Thailand Cricket. With her mindset of "We played cricket with happiness" (Chaiwai after her 2022 Asia Cup Win over Pak), she is a player that absorbs the pressure, holds her own at the playing field, and performs when the country best needs to provide a hefty defense and total.

Shein stock tumbled more than 10% in gray-market trading on Monday, the day before it was set to begin trading on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, a sign of tepid investor enthusiasm heading into the listing. Futu Securities, Bright Smart, and Phillip Securities — three of Hong Kong's major brokerages — each quoted the stock down more than 10% shortly after gray-market trading got underway, according to Reuters.
At Futu, which leads Hong Kong's retail brokerage market by trading volume, the shares were last quoted near HK$42. Brokerages quote gray-market prices for a stock before it begins official trading on an exchange.
According to Reuters, citing unnamed sources, Shein priced its shares at HK$48.56 apiece, raising $1.7 billion and pegging its valuation at roughly $26.5 billion. The official pricing announcement is due later on Monday, with trading set to begin Tuesday under stock code 00625.
Bevis Ho, a senior ****** yst at Futu Securities, said the move signals "caution among both retail and institutional investors," explaining that right now "investors see greater potential in AI and robotics themes than in fast fashion."
Shein's current market value amounts to just over one-quarter of the roughly $100 billion it commanded at its private-market high in 2022, with the steep decline tied to tariff and duty changes across the U.S. and Europe that have eroded the core economics of its business.

South Korea's underfire football **** ociation on Tuesday appointed former Spain boss Robert Moreno as interim coach, following a disastrous World Cup and series of damaging controversies.
Moreno, who was forced to deny earlier this year that he used ChatGPT to prepare for games during a stint in Russia, will be in charge for friendly games in September-October.
South Korea will compete in the Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia from January 7 to February 5.
The Korea Football **** ociation (KFA) said Moreno could lead the team at the Asian Cup, "subject to an evaluation" of his performance.
The team have been without a coach since Hong Myung-bo quit following their shock group-stage exit from the World Cup in North America in June.

Alibaba Group Holding Limited (BABA) is sending an unusually strong signal to investors at a critical moment for its artificial intelligence (AI) ambitions. Co-founder Jack Ma has reportedly purchased more than HK$600 million, or roughly $76.5 million, of Alibaba's Hong Kong-listed shares in recent days, joining Chairman Joe Tsai and CEO Eddie Wu in buying the stock.
The timing of Ma's purchase is particularly notable. Alibaba recently announced an HK$80 billion ($10.2 billion) share placement, with proceeds earmarked for expanding its full-stack AI capabilities, including infrastructure, chips, and AI models. The capital raise triggered a sell-off as investors worried about dilution, elevated spending, and whether Alibaba can generate sufficient returns from its massive AI investments.

BANGKOK, Aug 31 (Reuters) - After a long deployment in the Middle East, a U.S. Navy aircraft carrier will dock in Thailand's resort city of Pattaya this week, raising hopes of an economic boost, even as local authorities cracked down on parts of the **** tourism destination.
The Abraham Lincoln is due to dock on Wednesday at nearby Laem Chabang, with two accompanying Navy vessels, to allow nearly 5,000 sailors and Marines aboard to rest and recuperate after over 200 days at sea, according to Thai officials.
Ahead of its arrival, police are preparing additional patrols around Pattaya's main beachfront and nightlife district besides raids over the weekend that led to 40 to 50 people in detention for suspected prostitution, officials said.
"We are doing our best, but it is difficult," Pattaya police chief Anek Srathongyoo said on Monday, explaining that **** workers could potentially solicit in public areas without the knowledge of the authorities.
