Officials in Colombia are preparing to send 600 tonnes of aid into Venezuela despite President Nicolas Maduro's warnings that he won't allow it across the border. Desperation for food and medicine has already forced thousands of Venezuelans to flee the country. Maduro has already closed his country's border with Colombia, and has threatened to repeat the same with Brazil. Mia Alberti reports such actions would not help the ordinary Venezuelans.
The borders between Venezuela and Colombia were closed but thousands must keep crossing it for the survival of their own and themselves. Mia Alberti follows a family crossing the border searching for food and medicine, and the men helping them do the treacherous crossing.
The contaminated mud from the collapsed dam in Brazil is moving closer to communities and rivers. Authorities are warning the disaster could become Brazil's biggest environmental catastrophe. Mia Alberti reports from Brumadinho.
More than three days after a dam collapsed in Brazil, there are still almost 300 people missing. 65 are now confirmed dead. An investigation is underway into why the dam burst, almost burying a mining town and causing extensive environmental damage. Mia Alberti reports from the scene of the disaster.
In Brazil, five people have been arrested, three of whom are employees of the mining company, Vale, which is co-operating with the investigation into why one of its dams collapsed on Friday, killing at least 84 people. More than 200 are still missing, and while the economic and environmental cost will take time to assess, the human cost is the biggest price. Mia Alberti reports from the scene.
