People get funny around gold.

They'll lie, cheat.

They'll kill you for it.

A powerful earthquake followed one minute later by an even stronger jolt, but this is what's happened in Venezuela.

Marco Rubio, the US Secretary of State, says he's spoken with Venezuela's President Delcy Rodriguez now when the US is sending aid.

188 people have been killed, around 1,000 injured, many buildings are down.
