1. An earthquake in Nepal has collapsed buildings in Kathmandu and India, killing more than 1,300. Some Australians are missing.
Five Australians have been listed as missing after a magnitude-7.9 earthquake struck Nepal and north India, killing more than 1,300 people and triggering a fatal avalanche on Mount Everest.
A police spokesman said the death toll in Nepal alone had reached 1,394, with around 4,700 injured. More than 630 have been killed in the Kathmandu valley and at least 300 in the capital itself.
There were also grave fears for a number of Australians who were in the area when the magnitude-7.9 earthquake hit.
Friends and family members have listed at least five Australians on the Red Cross website including Ballantyne Forder, 20, from Perth, a 59-year-old woman and 18-year-old man from Melbourne, Zachary Sheridan, 20, from Adelaide, and a 43-year-old man.
The website allows concerned relatives or friends to list people as missing and for those affected by the disaster to indicate that they were safe.
A further 36 fatalities were reported in northern India, 12 in Chinese Tibet and four in Bangladesh.
At least 18 of those killed in Nepal were people at Mount Everest base camp, part of which was buried after an avalanche triggered by the earthquake.

it doesn't worry me she has been clean 13 years, is aware if she mucks up she will be in trouble. Was she jailed for murder or manslaughter - it sounds like it was not her intent to kill.
It the creepy pets at the school, that worry me
So now a convicted MURDERER who has only been out of jail for TWO years and is still on PAROLE can look after other peoples children????. The decision was made after Ms Leal noted the woman had been drug free for 13 years, did she also note that the vast majority of that time was spent in jail!!!. So given her record and the fact she is on parole no childcare center, kindly or school will have her, that leaves in home family daycare, meaning she would be unsupervised while taking care of other people's children, so worst case scenario she could relapse and become paranoid and or violent with children in the house and no adult intervention until 5pm!. This decision needs to be immediately reversed and Ms Leal should be removed from her position.
