    The Mick Jagger of earthquakes (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    The planes seem to skim the zinc rooftops as they come in to land. But this Friday, not even the roar of engines approaching the recently reopened Maiquetía International Airport can distract residents from their excitement. They have been waiting for hours to see Kit Miyamoto, who has become something of a celebrity in Venezuela since the twin earthquakes of June 24, which killed at least 6,509 people and left hundreds still missing. “It’s one of the most intense scenes I’ve seen in the last 20

    How Venezuela pushed aside a local oil company to make way for new US partners: ‘They simply took the assets and disappeared’ (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

On paper, they remained the legitimate operators of the assets, but it soon became clear that, even as those visits took place in plain sight, a plan was being put in motion to take the fields away from them.

    Read excerpt

    A private plane from Palm Beach landed in Caracas on June 27. A Venezuelan businessman under investigation for embezzling billions from state oil company PDVSA disembarked. He was accompanied by his wife, Andreina, and a second man, plus the crew, according to flight records reviewed by EL PAÍS. Their arrival was meant to be discreet, but it was leaked.

    The seven lives of Daniela Largo (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Daniela had already been buried for several hours when someone, standing on a pile of rubble, called out her name. She also shouted back her son’s name. Then her father’s name. That was how rescuers learned that the woman they would pull out alive was the same one whose face and blond hair had been circulating for nearly two days on a poster: ‘Daniela Andrea Largo Sánchez, 32.
