00:00Now on to the unrest in Nepal.
00:02The army says curfew orders will remain in place through Thursday after days of violent protests in Kathmandu.
00:09No protests were reported in the capital, but the aftermath of Tuesday's violence was still visible.
00:16Armed soldiers were seen patrolling deserted streets amid the curfew.
00:20Earlier, Army Chief Ashok Rajsikdal urged dialogue with the protesters.
00:24The worst upheaval in decades began after the government banned 26 social media sites, a decision later revoked.
00:32At least 25 people were killed and more than 600 injured after clashes with authorities, fueling a full-scale anti-government protest.
00:42Several government buildings, including the Supreme Court and the Parliament, as well as ministers' homes and the former prime minister's private residence, were set ablaze in the protests.
00:53The pressure eventually forced Prime Minister KP Sharma Ali to resign, plunging Nepal into a fresh political crisis.
