The Sovereign Bolivar has replaced and slashed five zeroes off the old currency.
Venezuela has launched new banknotes, slashing five zeros off the old currency in an attempt to stabilise economy. People affected by the economic crisis speak about their lives. Also today, an interview with a victim of sexual abuse by a priest in Ireland after it was announced that Pope Francis will meet victims during his visit to the country. And, a woman in New York invited dozens of men on a date, only for them to discover that they had been "tricked" into a massive dating competition. We speak to some of the men who attended the event.
