A huge rescue and recovery operation is underway across northern Venezuela after two back-to-back earthquakes struck overnight. At least 164 people have died, but experts say the number could well rise to thousands as the extent of the damage becomes clear.
Also in the programme: The French government's response to the heatwave; and how Canadian football fans are trying to be cheerful about moving to the US.
