The Venezuelan government says the opposition presidential candidate, Edmundo Gonz谩lez, who challenged President Maduro in elections in July, has left the country for Spain. Mr Gonz谩lez has been in hiding, and a warrant issued for his arrest after the opposition disputed July's presidential election result.

Also in the programme: huge demonstrations have taken place in cities across Israel, calling for the government to bring home the remaining hostages held by Hamas; and we reflect on the last day of the Paralympics in Paris.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss this and more are Charlotte Leslie, director of the Conservative Middle East Council, and the Ukrainian born author and journalist Yaroslav Trofimov.
