Nepal flood kills 17 as UK battles bills, storms

At least 17 people were killed as flash floods swept the Nepal-Tibet border area, among the week's deadliest disasters. Britain, meanwhile, stayed under yellow weather warnings as heavy rain and thunderstorms hit parts of the country. The wet spell landed alongside grim financial news: Ofgem confirmed household energy bills will rise 4% from October, pushing them to a three-year high and reviving questions over what the change means for household budgets. UK newspapers were dominated by tributes to Dolly Parton, the country music icon and philanthropist who died at 80, with front pages recalling her wit and the rare consensus she commanded in American life. Also remembered was Al Amin Khalifah Fhimah, cleared at the Lockerbie bombing trial, who has died aged 70. On the crime desk, former England footballer Raheem Sterling was charged with dangerous driving after a Lamborghini crash, and Scottish gangland figure Steven Bonzo Daniel was arrested in an organised-crime raid. In football, Manchester City completed an £85.6m signing of Ayyoub Bouaddi from Lille and are preparing a £120m offer for Enzo Fernandez.
