Venezuela's Political Crisis

One of our main topics today is Venezuela and what happens in the country now that two men have claimed presidency. President Nicolas Maduro has broken off relations with the US after it recognised opposition leader Juan Guaido as interim leader. We’ll be contacting Venezuelans to get a variety of views on the political crisis.
Also today:
In France, sex workers are challenging a law making it illegal to pay for sex. We speak to one of those who want to change the law.
We also speak to our environment correspondent about the warning by scientists that a rapid climate shift in the Barents Sea could spread to other Arctic regions.
