Venezuela: Maduro Offers to Hold Early Legislative Elections

The Venezuelan president, Nicolas Maduro, has sought to undermine the legitimacy of his rival's claim to office by offering to hold early legislative elections. On a day when the country's political stand-off spilled on to the streets of the capital, Caracas, Mr Maduro accused his rival, Juan Guaido, of being a puppet of the United States. We get the latest from Caracas. Also on the programme: we look ahead to today's election in El Salvador, a country of only six million people in which over three thousand murders took place last year. And we also take a look at children and jokes; what makes small children laugh? The team behind The Beano, the UK's most popular comic have surveyed their readers to find out.
