This is Andrew Peach with World Business Report.
Myanmar's military government is appealing for international help today after an earthquake caused widespread disruption.
The epicenter was near Mandalay.
The latest from there and Yangon in a moment.
Also coming up,
the US Vice President JD Vance is arriving in Greenland on a day a new government is being formed.
I think we are afraid of being colonized again.
We have been on the colony for the last 300 years under Denmark, which still feels like it.
And now another colonizer is interested in us.
And an election's been called in Australia, where the economy is at the centre of political debate.
First,
Myanmar's military rulers want international help after that massive earthquake in the centre of the country which has caused widespread damage.
There were in fact two quakes just a few minutes apart.
The first 7.7, the second 6.4.
Mandalay, near the epicentre is now very difficult to reach.
This is the sound of people reacting to a pagoda collapsing just southeast of Mandalay.
Let's go straight to Kani Wignaraja,
who's the UN Assistant Secretary General and Regional Director for Asia and the Pacific at the UN Development Program.
Kani, thank you very much indeed for being with us.
You've spoken to us many times about that part of the world, about Myanmar on World Business Report.
