Apocalyptic scenes from Mandalay, MM. Only seeing small snippets of what is happening, given minimal internet or electricity. Supplies of food and water running scarce. Lack of machinery or govt support to find people under buildings.

This is quite the exchange between the leader and leader-to-be of the world's two most populous presidential democracies . Trump tells Prabowo "your English is so good" and Prabowo replies: "Yes sir, all my training is American."
Glad to be connected directly with President Elect @realDonaldTrump to extend my heartfelt congratulations on his election as the 47th President of the United States.
I am looking forward to enhance the collaboration between our two great nations and to more productive discussions in the future.

From inside rebel-held Myawaddy, @panuw reports on how resistance fighters are taking apart Myanmar’s much vaunted military.
But holding on to newly won territory comes with its own set of complications.
