The fates of Australians in Nepal are becoming clearer and there is good news to report.  Three teenage hikers from West Australia have been located.  18-year olds Raoul Poncin and Jalada Wilson, and 19-year old Run Hutchinson are safe and well, but they’re stuck in a town north of Katmandu where they had gone hiking prior to Saturday’s devastating magnitude-7.9 earthquake.  18-year old trekkers Grace Graham and Camille Thomas from Victoria are safe at Australian embassy in Kathmandu. 

Nepalese Prime Minister Sushil Koirala says the death toll from the quake could exceed 10,000 lives lost, because information about remote villages has yet to make it back to the capital.  “The government is doing all it can for rescue and relief on a war footing,” Koirala said as he appealed to the international community for tents and medical supplies.  “It is a challenge and a very difficult hour for Nepal.”

The family of missing British girl Madeleine McCann won a A$685,000 libel case against a former Portuguese cop who alleged the parents were involved in the toddler’s disappearance.  Goncalo Amaral was the police chief who led the investigation into the 2007 disappearance, and wrote his suspicions into his book which the Portuguese court ordered withdrawn.  Amaral alleged Madeleine had died in the family’s holiday apartment in the Algarve, and that her parents had simulated her abduction and hidden her body.  British and Portuguese police continue to investigate the case.

US President Barack Obama condemned the violence in Baltimore.  Mr. Obama said there is “no excuse” for the violence, looting and arson that followed the funeral held for Freddie Gray, the 25-year-old African-American who died after suffering a severed spine in police custody earlier this month.  “They’re not protesting, they’re not making a statement, they're stealing,” Obama said in a joint press conference with visiting Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.  Baltimore spent most of Tuesday cleaning-up after the stupidity.

I don’t condone the rioting, but you gotta feel for this poor kid in the video link.  He’s all decked out in his black hoodie and mask and ready for some action, when the most potent law enforcement official in his life shows up – his Mum.  She proceeds to smack him upside the head on national television and sends him home.  And the looks on the faces of those other tough guys watching:  “I ain’t in it.  I ain’t getting involved.”  Kid, you listen to your Mum and fill that rucksack with books and you just may be fine.
