Summary
Venezuelans in the coastal town of La Guaira are being forced to live in informal camps in the streets two weeks on the from the two earthquakes which hit the country. The head of the Disasters Emergency Committee, Saleh Saeed, who is visiting, tells us people have lost everything and need help with the very basics. Also on the programme: we hear about the man who was partially sucked out of a Ryanair plane mid-air but survived; and the latest in the mystery surrounding the murder of a woman suspected of carrying out a bomb attack in Monaco.
