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: there have been demonstrations in France after President Macron appointed former Brexit negotiator Michel Barnier as prime minister; and the play that examines the life of the designer of the London tube map.

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.
