AFGHANISTAN EARTHQUAKES
The Taliban have called for international help after a strong earthquake struck eastern Afghanistan on Sunday, killing more than 800 people. Houses destroyed, and debris everywhere. This is what parts of eastern Afghanistan look like after they were struck by a magnitude six earthquake near the city of Jalalabad on Sunday. Authorities say at least 800 people have died and thousands of people were injured in the eastern provinces of Nangarhar and Kunar, and for the past couple of days, rescue workers have been trying to reach people trapped in remote places. But, Afghanistan's Taliban administration says the disaster is straining its limited resources, which is why it's asking for International aid. The UN says it's preparing to help people in affected areas, while India's Foreign Minister says they've has delivered 1,000 tents and 15 tonnes of food to the areas so far. China's Foreign Ministry says it's also closely monitoring the situation.

TITANIC FOUND ANNIVERSARY
113 years ago, a big ship called the Titanic sank in the Atlantic Ocean. And now, it's been 40 years since the wreckage of the ship was discovered on the sea floor. The RMS Titanic was once thought to be an unsinkable ship. But just a few days into its maiden voyage in 1912, the ship hit an iceberg and sank, killing around 1,500 people. It became one of the world's most famous disasters, and for decades, search crews desperately tried to find the ship's remains, but deep sea search tech of the time just wasn't up to the task until the 1980s. When Robert Ballard, his team, and a new experimental deep-sea vehicle named Argo were given a task by the US Navy. And just after 1am on September 1, 1985, after a week of scanning the sea floor with no luck, they spotted one of the ship's boilers. And a day later, they discovered the rest of the ship, and the Titanic was seen by the world for the first time in 73 years, kicking off a whole new wave of fascination with the world's most famous vessel.
