Venezuela quake survivor pulled out alive after eight days

from BBC · host BBC

A man has been rescued alive after being trapped for eight days in the rubble of a building that collapsed after twin earthquakes in Venezuela. We’ll hear from one of the rescuers in Catia La Mar. Also on the programme: Ukrainian officials say now that at least 25 people were killed in Russia's huge overnight attacks on Kyiv; and the chair of the jury of one of the world's most highly regarded international piano competitions tells us why he's planning to rip up the rule-book.
