Venezuela earthquakes: "I don't know how to rebuild my life"

Available for over a year

James Coomarasamy introduces stories from Venezuela, the USA and Hungary. In Venezuela, rescue workers from many other countries have been trying to find survivors after two earthquakes hit the country’s north last week. But amid the wreckage of many buildings, the only teams at work were bands of local volunteers - neighbours, friends and family members searching for any signs of life in the rubble. Will Grant returned to his old neighbourhood in the capital Caracas, to hear from survivors, the bereaved and those still plagued by doubts over their missing loved ones' fate. The Fourth of July holiday falls this weekend – and this year it's also the semiquincentennial, marking 250 years of American independence. The anniversary has prompted much soul-searching about what the USA now stands for as a nation. Asma Khalid reflects on her own family’s pursuit of the American Dream. Hungary's new Prime Minister Peter Magyar has been in office for less than 60 days, but he and his Tisza party have set about rolling back laws and dismantling institutions built up by former strongman PM Viktor Orban. Such is this political whirlwind, it's become must-see TV - keeping Hungarians glued to their screens in a traditionally slow time of the year for news. Nick Thorpe reports from Budapest.
