Venezuela's opposition candidate vows to continue fight from Spain
Presidential candidate Edmundo Gonzalez landed at a Spanish military base earlier
Presidential candidate Edmundo Gonzalez has arrived in Spain where he has been granted political asylum. Venezuela has been in political turmoil since July after an election where Nicolas Maduro declared himself the winner. We hear from Antonio Ledezma, another Venezuelan opposition politician already in exile in Spain. Also in the programme: the legacy of Herbie Flowers who has died at 86 and played with Elton John, David Bowie and Paul McCartney; and Paris has hosted the closing ceremony of the Paralympics.
