International teams join Venezuela earthquake rescue effort

The epicentre of the deadly quakes was around 100 miles west of the capital Caracas

In Venezuela, authorities warn the 72 hour window to find survivors is closing with more than fifty thousand still missing. We speak to Victor Amaya, a local journalist.

Also on today's programme: thousands have been parading through the streets of Rome to mark the 80th anniversary of the Vespa scooter; and a cricketer on the exiled Afghan women's team talks about rebuilding her life after fleeing the Taliban.

Presenter Julian Worricker is joined by Julian Borger, Senior International Correspondent for the Guardian and Jerusalem-based journalist Noga Tarnopolsky.
