This is the Global News Podcast from the BBC World Service.
I'm Chris Barrow, and in the early hours of Friday 26th June, these are our main stories.
More than 200 people are now confirmed dead after two strong earthquakes devastated Venezuela.
Search and rescue efforts are continuing, thousands are still missing, and the US has promised millions of dollars in aid.
Here in the UK, it's been revealed that King Charles and Queen Camilla won't move into Buckingham Palace when a $500 million refurbishment is completed next year.
Researchers have managed to read a scroll that was burnt to a crisp in the eruption of Mount Vesuvius nearly 2,000 years ago.
A massive rescue operation is gathering pace in northern Venezuela following Wednesday's devastating back-to-back earthquakes.
The confirmed number of deaths has now risen to 235 and thousands are still missing.
Specialist rescue teams from the US, Mexico, Qatar, Spain and the UN are searching for survivors in the rubble of collapsed buildings.
The epicentre of the tremors was to the west of the capital Caracas.
Our reporter Vanessa Silva is in the city.
Dr Pedro Javier Fernandez, who's involved in the humanitarian effort, told us about some of the challenges.
We have to remember that Venezuela is in the context of a humanitarian complex emergency.
All our hospitals lack supplies, lack medicines.
We are not able to provide...
medical attention to our people in a normal day.
Now with this tragedy, the emergency is even bigger and it's more difficult to face than in the other country because not only the needs are more, the structure of the hospitals and the lack of medical equipment makes it even harder to provide medical attention.
The response to this disaster is a big test for the government of Delcy Rodriguez and for the Trump administration.
Since the US military intervention in January, when the Venezuelan president, Nicolas Maduro, was abducted and flown to the United States, his former deputy has been running the country, but is heavily dependent on decisions taken far away in Washington.
