earthquake struck parts of nepal. saddam by a sock is home collapsed in the quake tired of living in a temporary shelter her family is rebuilding their house. near the capital got to do with 800 homes were destroyed and 7 people died i never cared man by many of our neighbors have left their temperature shelters we felt alone so we decided to rebuild our house and. the 16th century town is a draw for visitors contributing significantly to its tourism economy it is home to the temple of much in the not wicked mundell valleys farmers prayed for rain and a good harvest the temple collapsed during the earthquake reconstruction has been slow some. differences organ donation. of the temple we have formed a committee to move forward. national reconstruction authority says more than 80

percent of homes and public infrastructure damaged in the quake have been rebuilt across the country. the number is significantly lower those behind the reconstruction effort are hopeful of progress so. 400 homes have been reconstructed in the next i want to reach. people. temporary shelters rebuild their houses local officials say 50 percent of reconstruction is complete but the remaining us may take longer. to farm and community own land but. until reconstruction is complete many families here will continue to live in temporary shelters and live now to run in katmandu forests around here to tell us

more about the pace of reconstruction and what it entails. well we are in government in iraq square. heritage site with several monuments collapsed during the quake including an 8 century public building which is currently being reconstructed the government says about 60 percent of cultural heritage sites have been restored but initially there was a lot of public prostration at the pace and also in some cases the shortie reconstruction work going on public basically that the government has a responsibility to provide technical support for reconstruction but it is the public's moral right to convey what's been handed down by their ancestors. so this is the current situation here what about the peace the people the victims of the earthquake the people who are affected by by this disaster were still lies

like 5 years on. well 5 years after the quake. nepali peoples a return to their normal lives i'd say of course recent reconstruction on average has been completed at about 80 percent according to the national reconstruction authority this includes rebuilding about $800000.00 homes hospitals roads and schools and also the relocation of several 1000 families that were living in a jewel logically sensitive areas so 80 percent of the reconstruction work has been completed but this still a lot more to do and with the ongoing crisis and the fall being in lockdown for an uncertain period. it's probably going to take

a bit longer all right thank you very much for that. reporting there live from katmandu. my knee democratic republic of congo 8 people have died in a police operation to wrestle leader of a separatist religious sect name one sami was detained at his home in the capital kinshasa his the leader of an outlawed group called congo his arrest comes a week after violent clashes between members send police. in the democratic republic of congo at least 12 rangers and 5 civilians have been killed in an attack on virunga national park several more people were injured in the ambush the worst in the parks history their own guys home to half the world's population of mountain gorillas in the last 20 years at least 180 rangers have been killed while protecting the animals feel clark is with the school of oriental and african studies he says is not surprised by the attack. there have been big clashes between

the major rebel group that suspected of carrying out this attack and a group called the f.d.a. . and the congolese army i've been at each other's throats to several weeks now and it does look like the f.d.a. a lot have used this attack on the national park rangers as a white to show their strength and as a white city trying to put pressure on the congolese army to back off i think perhaps if there is a surprising elements about this attack it's the style of the civilian death toll typically when there are attacks in the reagan national pocket it usually involves the kidnapping of a foreign tourists we haven't seen it come to a civilians being killed in such large numbers inside the national park and we certainly haven't seen this number of ranges killed so in that sense that this is very unusual that the s.d.l. are is i who to dominate said rebel group the reason that it's fighting against the congolese army at the moment is that the congolese government is in the process of renewing relations with the rwandan government and that's

a 20 dominated government the rwandan government has said to congo you need to rein the f.t. a lot in we see this hutu threat across the border we see 20 civilians being killed inside congo the f.t. a lot have had a recent history of going across the border in into rwanda and so that's the bigger context to this attack to die. returning now to the coronavirus crisis and across europe countries are at odds over when and how coronavirus lockdowns should be lifted some already sending children back to school and reopening small businesses but most industries including the hospitality sector remain tolerant totally paralyzed with no end in sight no ensley reports. there is one corner of europe where you can see a reminder of what life used to be like a few short weeks ago in the spring sunshine people in the swedish capital stockholm are carrying on as if the pandemic in the other and sweden has gone

against the grain in not closing down restaurants or limiting people's movements much but with over 2000 dead there's a worse outcome so for that scandinavian neighbors the government is starting to sound a bit worried about its own going to its you talk to me it will surely come from as the spring sun appears we seem to be seeing worrying reports about full outdoor terraces in restaurants people in crowded places and we have to take this seriously let me be extremely clear i don't want to see any crowded outdoor restaurant terraces in stockholm or anywhere else and everyone has to take this on his or her responsibility. germany has the opposite problem under the iconic brandenburg gate in berlin restaurants staged a protest by learning of hundreds of empty chairs because the authorities across the country have refused yet to countenance the reopening despite a far lower death rates than countries like sweden. and unlike sweden germany is

continuing this testing opening drive through facilities to trace more and more people ministers insist life can go back to anything like normal until the infection rates drop to the hundreds every day in terms of health care it makes perfect sense but the tension with the demands of business is growing restaurant owners have residents of patients who are most at least one who would. it's no exaggeration to say the sheer panic imagine your business which is doing very well the shutdown from one day to the next it means we don't have less revenue it means we have no revenue but leases and costs continue a lot to be a consolation but in most countries going out to socialize remains a faraway dream like enjoying the cuisine of the french bistro that too is almost certainly many months away reinsulate be. nothing would be worse than conducting a rushed reopening of restaurants and bars which could then force us to close again i think it would be an immense disappointment not only for the restaurant owners

but also for the french people. it's also worth remembering that many of the most vulnerable like the elderly of the spanish city of. couldn't afford to go out to eat even if the option was open to them here the spanish red cross is delivering food instead of the sharp end of the virus keeping people alive remains the priority. lawrence the of his era and 7 greece more than 400 asylum seekers have been placed under quarantine in a hotel nearly a 3rd of them are infected with corona virus and as john psaropoulos reports from port ahead there are growing concerns about more breaks in other refugee camps. huge truck sprays chemicals to disinfect the air around the galaxy hotel 148 asylum seekers and 2 staff members here have tested positive for corona virus most show no symptoms which may be how the disease
