Six days after catastrophic twin earthquakes hit Venezuela, the country's death toll has risen to almost 1,500 – but the actual number is expected to be much higher as nearly 50,000 people are reported missing. 
Ana Vanessa Herrero, a journalist in Caracas, reports on the situation on the ground, and the rising anger at officials for not doing enough. 
And we talk to Fanny Villarte-Croce, a Venezuelan-Canadian, who shares what she is doing here in Canada to help. 
The Canadian celebrity investor wants to build a massive data centre in rural Utah. 
People in the Republican-dominated state, like Rhonda Anderson Lauritzen are fighting back. 
The clash is emblematic of how AI is scrambling U.S. politics in the leadup to the midterms, says Heatmap News senior reporter Jael Holzman.
