Rescues

A man in Austria was charged in the death of his girlfriend after leaving her behind, in a case testing ideas of freedom and responsibility in the mountains.

As the death toll for Typhoon Kalmaegi rose into the triple digits, the country braced for another storm expected this weekend.

Rescue workers were trying to remove the man from the debris at the medieval tower, but said it was a dangerous operation. Another man was seriously injured in the collapse.

The snowfall buried tents and reduced visibility. The local authorities said that they were in contact with the hikers and that rescue efforts were underway.
