Rescue efforts are continuing in Venezuela after Wednesday's earthquakes. At least 1,450 people are known to have died but the number is expected to rise. We speak to our correspondent and have a conversation with aid workers. The South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has appealed for calm ahead of planned anti-immigration protests on Tuesday. Our reporter explains more. And we speak to our sports reporter about the latest from Wimbledon, English cricket, Manchester City's new manager and the World Cup.
