At least 150 dead after earthquakes in Venezuela

World at One

Available for 28 days

Two earthquakes in Venezuela leave at least 150 dead, with warnings that potential loss of life could be in the thousands. We hear from one of the most affected areas in Caracas. In the UK, the Met Office extends -again- its red alert for heat until Friday night, we look at how to retrofit housing to keep it cooler. Why are people ordering food they know won't arrive? We examine the phenomenon of the pretend online order, and why it offers a very real dopamine hit. And Evan and Sarah sit together to figure out if Sir Keir Starmer has succeeded with his goal to grow the economy.
