Minister for Physical Infrastructure and Transport, and Urban Development, Kulman Ghising, has said that the vehicles in Singha Durbar premises that were burnt down in the course of the Gen-Z demonstrations should be managed by taking them to another place.

He issued directives to this effect today, stating that the Singha Durbar premises looked ugly due to the burnt vehicles, stated Minister Ghising's secretariat.

"We shouldn't leave the office premises looking shabby, let's do our work in the interior but not let the exterior become unsightly. Let's make it nice as soon as possible. Damaged vehicles scattered around the Singha Durbar premises make it look unattractive, we should remove and manage them promptly to convey a positive message," said Minister Ghising.

Minister Ghising said that he has directed painting the outer parts of buildings that have only experienced minor damages to convey the message that we have risen from destruction, to promptly remove vehicles damaged by fire in the ministry and office premises, and to immediately assess the extent of the damage.

He clarified that the reconstruction will begin by collecting support from the government, Nepalis at home and abroad through the  'Let us build our structures ourselves' campaign. 

The Ministry of Urban Development has stated that it has formed a taskforce to assess the damage incurred in the structures under its jurisdiction and has already begun work.

Inter Milan will give captain Lautaro Martinez a late fitness test before deciding whether he can play in their Champions League group game at Ajax Amsterdam, coach Christian Chivu said on Tuesday, Reuters reported.

The Inter striker has a back issue and was taken off during their 4-3 Serie A loss to Juventus ahead of the Ajax game on Wednesday.

"We'll evaluate Lautaro tomorrow and see if we have him available," said Chivu, who also dismissed any suggestion of dropping Swiss goalkeeper Yann Sommer after the team conceded six goals in their last two matches, according to Reuters.

Tottenham Hotspur celebrated their return to the Champions League with a 1-0 home victory over Spanish club Villarreal courtesy of an own goal by keeper Luiz Junior on Tuesday, Reuters reported.

The London club's first game in the competition for close to 1,000 days was only four minutes old when Villarreal's Brazilian keeper fumbled a cross by Lucas Bergvall across his own line.

It was never comfortable for the hosts after that though with former Arsenal forward Nicolas Pepe having several chances including a late free kick that flashed just wide of the post, according to Reuters.

Kylian Mbappe converted two penalties to secure Real Madrid a 2-1 victory over Olympique de Marseille in their Champions League group stage opener despite playing the final stages with 10 men after captain Dani Carvajal was sent off, Reuters reported.

The Santiago Bernabeu was the stage for a dramatic match, with moments of brilliance from the goalkeepers, a glaring error from a young star, and late controversy leaving fans on the edge of their seats.

Real Madrid began on the front foot, with Mbappe nearly producing a spectacular opener via a bicycle kick from inside the box that flew just wide of the post, according to Reuters.

Dusan Vlahovic and Lloyd Kelly scored in stoppage time to inspire a dramatic Juventus escape as they secured a 4-4 draw at home to Borussia Dortmund in their Champions League opener on Tuesday, with all eight goals coming after the break, Reuters reported.

The hosts trailed 4-2 when substitute Vlahovic grabbed his second of the night in the fourth minute of stoppage time, before he set up Kelly two minutes later to secure a point.

Man-of-the-match Vlahovic, who came on just before the hour mark, was disappointed not to have completed his hat-trick, according to Reuters.

Aston Villa ended their goal drought but their poor start to the season continued as they were knocked out of the League Cup by top-flight rivals Brentford on penalties on Tuesday after the third-round tie had ended 1-1, Reuters reported.

Harvey Elliott, who joined from Liverpool on a season-long loan on transfer deadline day, put Villa ahead in the 43rd minute, his side's first goal of the season.

Aaron Hickey's first goal for Brentford levelled the tie in the 57th minute although Villa will feel they should have spared themselves penalties by winning in normal time, according to Reuters.

A United Nations Commission of Inquiry concluded on Tuesday that Israel has committed genocide in Gaza and that top Israeli officials including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu incited these acts - accusations that Israel called scandalous, Reuters reported.

The U.N. report, issued as Israel announced the start of a ground operation in Gaza City, cites examples of the scale of the killings, aid blockages, forced displacement and the destruction of a fertility clinic to back up its genocide finding, adding its voice to a scholars' association and rights groups that have reached the same conclusion.

"Today we witness in real time how the promise of 'never again' is broken and tested in the eyes of the world. The ongoing genocide in Gaza is a moral outrage and a legal emergency," Navi Pillay, head of the Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory and a former International Criminal Court judge, told a Geneva press briefing, according to Reuters.

The Trump administration's first U.S. weapons aid packages for Ukraine have been approved and could soon ship as Washington resumes sending arms to Kyiv - this time under a new financial agreement with allies - two sources familiar with the situation told Reuters.

This is the first use of a new mechanism developed by the U.S. and allies to supply Ukraine with weapons from U.S. stocks using funds from NATO countries.

Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Elbridge Colby has approved as many as two $500 million shipments under the new mechanism called the Prioritized Ukraine Requirements List, known under the acronym PURL, the sources said.

The renewed transatlantic cooperation, which aims to bolster Kyiv with as much as $10 billion worth of weapons, comes as U.S. President Donald Trump has expressed frustration with Moscow's ongoing attacks on its neighbor despite his efforts to achieve a negotiated end to the conflict, according to Reuters.
