Police
in Nepal are investigating an alleged fight between two famous European
climbers and their Nepalese mountain guides on Mount Everest.
Switzerland's Ueli Steck and Simone Moro from Italy were at 7,470m (24,500ft) when the brawl occurred.
The pair allegedly ignored orders to hold their climb and
triggered an icefall which hit the Sherpas laying fixed ropes. The
climbers deny this.
Mr Steck told the BBC that their three-man team - which
included Briton Jonathan Griffith - was nearing Camp Three on Saturday,
when the "conflict" broke out.
He said they had been keeping a respectful distance so as not to disturb the work of the Sherpas laying ropes.
The climbers continued to Camp Three but later descended to
Camp Two to "finish the discussion" and were met by more than 100 angry
Sherpas, who began to beat them and throw rocks, Mr Steck said.
He said the Sherpas threatened to kill the climbers if they did not leave the camp.
One of the Sherpas threw a pocket knife at Mr Moro but
"luckily [it] just hit the belt of his backpack", Mr Steck said, adding
that they escaped with no serious injuries.
Mr Steck said the conflict was the symptom of a long-term problem of "cultures", but did not elaborate.
"The climbers believe that the lead Sherpa felt that his
pride had been damaged as the climbers were moving unroped and much
faster," the statement added.
Why is it relevant to you? Yes, I don't really know the thruth but I think that that happened because the climbers wanted to climb up with no Sherpas.
How is this connected with other news that have an impact on our world ? It isn't connected with any other new because it hasn't happened anything similar before.

A member of the audience at Justin Bieber's stage show in Dubai tackled the singer from behind while he was performing at a grand piano.
Bieber managed to free himself and ran to the side of the
stage while security guards grabbed the intruder, who managed to knock
the piano over and onto its side.A member of the audience at Justin Bieber's stage show in Dubai tackled the singer from behind while he was performing at a grand piano.
The singer later retweeted descriptions of the "mayhem".
He later tweeted: "Dubai. Nothing stops the show. 2 more to go."
Footage on YouTube shows Bieber carried on performing while security guards removed the fan and picked up the piano.
He is in the middle of a world tour called Believe which began last September and includes about 100 dates.
Why is it relevant to you? I think that the fans shouldn't go to the stage, because he was singing for them and also everyone knows that if you go up to the stage the security will quickly take you out of there.
How is this connected with other news that have an impact on our world? We all kno that teenagers do that crazy stuff for see them idols, it's not the first time that that happened, but we haven't hear for a long while of anything similar in any Justin Bieber concert.

The largest snowball fight
The largest snowball fight ever
There was the largest snowball fight ever in Seattle last 14 of January. There was about 6,000 people in Seattle hurl white powder at each other to set a Guinness World Record. It didn't snow there but the organizers trucked in 162,000 pounds of snow in 34 truckloads for the throwdown. The people had so much fan and they did the Guinness World Record of the largest snowball fight ever!
I think it was a funny event. It was relevant for me because some of my friends were in the event and I think it was a bit extrange to do a snowball fight without snowing there.
