In Caracas, this feels like the hardest moment in Venezuela's modern history
Each morning that Venezuelans wake to the aftermath of the dual earthquakes, it is a little darker, a little grimmer.
It means another night in which prayers for the miraculous recovery of missing loved ones went unanswered, in which the fitful sleep of the survivors is interrupted by nightmares of collapsed buildings and moments of sheer panic.
For ex-policeman Jan Carlos Roa Garcia and his family, it was another night sleeping rough. Their building in Caracas wasn't brought down but is too dangerous to return to.

Just how much trouble is Canada's economy in?
While the majority of products are exempt from US tariffs under the current free trade agreement between the US, Canada and Mexico - the USMCA - the White House has imposed tariffs on specific sectors, including 15% to 50% tariffs on steel, aluminum, and copper - the ones proving challenging to White - and 25% tariffs on vehicles.
