President Ashraf Ghani flees, while westerners including the US Ambassador, gather at the airport to leave. More than 12,000 people are now known to have been killed in Saturday's devastating earthquake in Haiti. What's needed to help people - and what lessons have been learned from the last quake? And a teenage human rights campaigner, whose father was imprisoned in China, calls for urgent help for Uyghur Muslims.
