The death toll in the Colombian earthquake has risen to over 130. The 7.4 magnitude quake toppled buildings, trapping many under the rubble. We speak to a resident in one affected area to find out how her local community is coming together in the search and rescue of those who might have survived. Donald Trump has said it would be a mistake to replace the Fifa President Gianni Infantino. We hear from a former Fifa official who says replacing Mr Infantino isn't enough and deeper reforms are needed. And the chipmaker, Nvidia, says it has approached some of the biggest names in finance to help raise $500 billion to spend on AI Infrastructure. Presenters: Rob Young and Catherine Byaruhanga.
