00:50I know this on the country. I was kind of like, connect myself to the right side.
00:55I never learned anything like that.
00:57This has been a lot of fun, and I have a lot of fun.
01:01We've had a lot of fun, and we have a lot of fun.
01:08But it's fun and happy.
01:11We have a lot of fun, but we've had a lot of fun.

01:36Many people lost their lives, properties, many houses completely damaged, 7,500 plus houses completely damaged, infrastructure damaged, bridges are
01:48damaged, people's sentiment is damaged.
01:51It's not only the economic loss, it's the non-economic losses are there, so it's really havoc.
01:58Rough estimation, 5 to 7 billion USD is lost, that we have estimated, but this is not the final one.
02:07This is just the preliminary estimation, it to be verified in the ground, so once this is verified in the
02:13ground, then probably at the end of next week,
02:16we'll be coming up with the official final data, that would open up, you know, the dialogue for international communities
02:23on what exactly happened,
02:26and what is the losses and damages scenarios from different sectors.
02:30There are several parameters attracts in it, rising temperatures, El Nino year, because of El Nino, the temperature of Asia,
02:39not only Nepal, is above normal in this year.
02:43Sea surface temperature is changing, Indian Ocean Dipole is neutral, so there are different, you know, parameters that lead to
02:53bring this type of havoc.
02:55We need to think from, like, climate perspective, the bringing whole ecosystem of climate change, not only like precipitation, not
03:04only temperature.
03:05So we are making this case, like it's a, you know, not only a disaster induced by flood, it's a
03:13massive disaster, and, you know, induced by climate change.
03:20That they are putting out a 100 percent of local people, and the children drive the way theyники to the
03:26project was located apart by the country.
03:26It sounds very healthy.
03:26So this, they're actually, is seeing, kind of what this community on their own class,
03:35is trying to find their community.
03:36They're not able to get your unity, but they are not able to deal with themselves.
