A powerful earthquake has caused significant damage in western Colombia. The epicentre of the quake was in San José del Palmar, in the Choco region, according to the US Geological Survey. We have the latest, and we hear messages from the people affected. Russian officials say at least 13 people, including a child, have been killed in a Ukrainian drone strike on the city of Nizhnekamsk in Tatarstan. We speak to our Russia editor about the mood in the country. We hear a conversation with farmers around the world about the impact of drought on their livelihoods. Jury selection is due in the trial of a former gang leader who is charged over the murder of the rapper Tupac Shakur in 1996. We speak to our colleague who has covered the story for a podcast.
