Newsday

Available for 29 days

In Venezuela, the twin quakes last week have so far claimed at least one thousand seven hundred lives. There have also been remarkable stories of survival and joyful reunions for some. Offers of money and practical assistance continue to be made. Paraguay have caused the first big upset at the World Cup, knocking the four time champions Germany out on penalties. And in Peru the daughter of late authoritarian president Alberto Fujimori - Keiko has been declared the winner in Peru's presidential election. She secured a wafer- thin victory of just over 50 percent. Presenters: Rob Young and Catherine Byaruhanga.
