The Taliban in Afghanistan have appealed for international support, as the country deals with the aftermath of a devastating 6.1 magnitude earthquake.
Over 1,000 people have died and at least 1,500 injured, according to local officials.

Sri Lanka's prime minister Ranil Wickremesinghe says its troubled economy has collapsed and the country is unable to even pay for oil imports.
Mr Wickremesinghe also said he is trying to put together a conference of donors, which, along with the above, would potentially also include China and Japan.
