Four people have been pulled alive from the rubble nearly 60 hours after the earthquake struck Myanmar. Neighbouring Thailand, where 19 deaths have been confirmed so far, has also been badly affected by the earthquake. In Bangkok, rescuers are still searching for signs of life under a collapsed skyscraper. Seventy-five construction workers are still trapped under the rubble. No survivors have yet been found.

• Myanmar's capital: In Nay Pyi Taw, one local resident described a lack of sleep and the inability to rebuild because of aftershocks.

• Newborn baby: A woman gave birth to a baby on a street in Bangkok shortly after a hospital evacuation following tremors from an earthquake in Myanmar.

• Watch: BBC Verify's Jake Horton has been assessing the footage to try to build up a picture of what happened.

Marine Le Pen guilty in EU funding embezzlement case

A French court has found Marine Le Pen guilty of misappropriating EU funds to finance her far-right National Rally (RN) party. Le Pen was accused, along with more than 20 other senior party figures, of hiring assistants who worked on her RN party affairs rather than for the European Parliament which paid them. The court has banned her from public office - but it's not yet known for how long.

But recently, the German parliament voted to exempt defence spending from strict rules on debt. A top general told Sarah Rainsford the cash boost is urgently needed because he believes Russian aggression won't stop at Ukraine.
