Well scientifically the heights of the Himalayas are changing every second (by a nanometres maybe) but you know getting things official is a slow painful and political process. Also the summit of the Mount Everest serves as the border between Nepal and China so both sides have to co-operate for making stuffs official.
@trinsec
Until now Nepal considered the height to be 8,848 metres from a survey conducted by India in 1954.
Now Nepal China jointly surveyed again and changed the official height.
@trinsec
This survey was done cause it was speculated that the Himalayas were affected due the 2015 Nepal earthquakes.
Official?
Victoria Falls has now been conferred with a City Status, one of the moves by the govt to stimulate growth, development and attract more tourists to the area.

Himalayas are a young mountain range which is still growing. Everest grows around 50cm in 100 years.
Snow covers varies all the time though the official count considers permanent snow cover on the peak.

The flow of news is very one sided in this world. We get to everything happening in Europe and America while it doesn't happens the opposite.
