Agency : KathmanduShelter, fuel, food, medicine,power, news, workers —Nepal’s earthquake-hitcapital was short on every-thing Monday as its peoplesearched for lost lovedones, sorted through rubblefor their belongings andstruggled to provide for theirfamilies’ needs. In much ofthe countryside, it wasworse, though how muchworse was only beginning tobecome apparent. Thedeath toll soared past

4,000, even without a fullaccounting from vulnerable

mountain villages that rescueworkers were still strugglingto reach two days after thedisaster. Udav PrashadTimalsina, the top official forthe Gorkha district, whereSaturday’s magnitude 7.8quake was centred, said hewas in desperate need ofhelp. “There are peoplewho are not getting food andshelter. I’ve had reports ofvillages where 70 per centof the houses have beendestroyed,” he said. Aidgroup World Vision said itsstaff members were able toreach Gorkha, but gather-ing information from the vil-lages remained a challenge.Even when roads are clear,the group said, some remoteareas can be three days’walk from Gorkha’s maindisaster centre. Aid is slowto reach those hardest hitareas. Matt Darvas with

World Vision said, “It doesnot seem aid is reaching herevery quickly.” Remotenorthern villages with fewconcrete buildings werehardest hit. Darvas said,“further north from here thereports are very disturbing,”and three-quarters of thebuildings in Singla, a largervillage near the epicentre,are believed destroyed.Some roads and trails havebeen blocked by land-slides, the group said in anemail to The AssociatedPress. “In those villagesthat have been reached, theimmediate needs are greatincluding the need forsearch and rescue, fooditems, blankets and tarps,and medical treatment.”Timalsina said 223 peoplehad been confirmed deadin Gorkha district but hepresumed “the number

would go up because thereare thousands who are in-jured.” He said his districthad not received enoughhelp from the central gov-ernment, but JagdishPokhrel, the clearly ex-hausted army spokesman,said nearly the entire

100,000-soldier army wasinvolved in rescue opera-tions. “We have 90 per centof the army out thereworking on search and res-cue,” he said. “We are fo-cusing our efforts on that,on saving lives.” Saturday’smagnitude 7.8 earthquake

Editors' Picks QUOTEOF THE

DAYWorld's First Malaria VaccineCould be Available Soon

The final trials of a malaria vaccine candidate were foundto partially protect children against the disease up to fouryears after vaccination. According to scientists, it may beavailable by as early as October this year. The resultssuggest that the vaccine candidate RTS,S/AS01 couldprevent a substantial number of cases of clinical malaria,especially in areas of high transmission. In the trial, al-most 15,500 children in seven African countries weregiven three initial vaccine doses over three months. Onesubject group was aged five to 17 months and the othergroup was aged six to 12 weeks. Some received abooster shot 18 months later - the effects of which werereported for the first time last Friday. The extra dose, itturned out, "restores some of the immunity lost after thefirst series of injections", according to study co-authorBrian Greenwood of the London School of Hygiene andTropical Medicine. "The European Medicines Agency(EMA) will assess the quality, safety, and efficacy of thevaccine based on these final data," said correspondingauthor Brian Greenwood, professor at the London Schoolof Hygiene & Tropical Medicine in Britain. "If the EMAgives a favourable opinion, WHO (World Health Orga-nization) could recommend the use of RTS,S/AS01 asearly as October this year. If licensed, RTS,S/AS01would be the first licensed human vaccine against a para-sitic disease," Greenwood added. The findings revealedthat vaccine efficacy against clinical and severe malariawas better in children than in young infants, but wanedover time in both groups. However, protection was pro-longed by a booster dose, increasing the average num-ber of cases prevented in both children and young in-fants. "Despite the falling efficacy over time, there is still aclear benefit from RTS,S/AS01. An average 1,363 casesof clinical malaria were prevented over four years of fol-low-up for every 1,000 children vaccinated, and 1,774cases in those who also received a booster shot. Overthree years of follow-up, an average 558 cases wereaverted for every 1,000 infants vaccinated, and 983 casesin those also given a booster dose," Greenwood said."Given that there were an estimated 198 million malariacases in 2013, this level of efficacy potentially translatesinto millions of cases of malaria in children being prevented,"suggests Greenwood. The RTS,S/AS01 vaccine was de-veloped for use in sub-Saharan Africa where malaria stillkills around 1300 children every day. The phase-3randomised trial enrolled 15,459 young infants (aged sixto 12 weeks at first vaccination) and children (five to 17months at first vaccination) from 11 sites across seven sub-Saharan African countries (Burkina Faso, Gabon, Ghana,Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique and United Republic of Tan-zania) with varying levels of malaria transmission. In 2014,initial phase-3 results at 18 months showed vaccine effi-cacy of about 46 percent against clinical malaria in chil-dren and around 27 percent among young infants. There iscurrently no licensed vaccine against malaria anywhere inthe world. These findings were published in the journalThe Lancet.

Nach Baliye 7: A bit of Bigg Boss, someSplitsvilla and Chetan Bhagat is Judge Dread

Agency : MumbaiIf I was allowed to get awaywith writing a one-line re-view of Nach Baliye 7, itwould be – “Chetan Bhagatis now one of the three ce-lebrity judges of NachBaliye 7”. But since I havehad to suffer through overtwo hours of watching thefirst episode of the new sea-son, there's no way that ei-ther I or you, dear reader,can get away that easily.This is the seventh season ofNach Baliye, the showwhere “star” couples comeand shake a leg. As usual, Iam using the word “star”very loosely. Every season,

I marvel at the increasinglyobscure couples that theshow's producers seem tofish out of the nether depthsof Bollywood and TV-dom.This year, there’s a line-up

of couples out of whom Irecognised the following:- Payal Rohatgi (claim tofame being that she wore aswimming costume on BiggBoss and is Rahul

Mahajan’s ex) and her hus-band Sangram Singh, thewrestler. The twist in the talethis year is that the femaleand male contestants will belocked into two separatehouses, and will also haveto do tasks every week. Sobasically, the show is adeadly boring mix ofKhatron Ke Khiladi meetsSplitsvilla meets Bigg Bossmeets Nach Baliye. It’s allso thrilling, I can hardly con-centrate on keying in thisarticle. But for all these for-mat changes, this time it isn'tas much about the contes-tants as it is about thejudges. Or one judge in par-ticular, the one who madethe entire 2.5 hours of thefirst episode worth watch-ing.

Agency : ChennaiFilmmaker Krish is knownfor his humanistic Telugufilms such as “Gamyam” and“Vedam”. Now, with hisforthcoming Hindi directo-rial debut “Gabbar Is Back”,he says he has taken a com-mercial leap. “Gabbar IsBack” is the Hindi remakeof Tamil blockbuster“Ramana”, which was writ-ten and directed by A.R.Murugadoss over a decadeago. “You could say I’vegone commercial all gunsblazing in ‘Gabbar…’.

heads on. All my films so farhave had commercial ele-ments, but this time I’veupped the ante,” Krish in aninterview. The film, he says,will be the ‘baap’ (father) ofall the previous remake ver-sions put together. It has al-ready been remade inTelugu, Kannada andBengali. The film’s title hasalready created quite a buzz.Krish says it was chosen fora reason and not merely tocash in on the popularity ofthe original character. “Itwas chosen to justify theactions of the lead charac-ter. Akshay plays a vigilanteagainst corruption. In the

movie, his actions mayberight, but the path hechooses isn’t,” said Krishand added: “You need goodbranding to sell any prod-uct. Here, Akshay raises hisvoice against corruption,and he achieves that throughthe brand name calledGabbar.” “In the movie,there’s a scene whereAkshay is writing an anony-mous letter to the police andat the same time ‘Sholay’ isplaying on the television. Heoverhears a dialogue andfeels that in order to instillfear into corrupt men,Gabbar is the most suitablename,” he said.
