Women and Children Leave Last IS Stronghold

Women and children leave the last IS stronghold; Maduro supporters prevent aid delivery in Venezuela

Women and children leave the last IS stronghold in eastern Syria as US-backed Kurdish fighters get ready for battle.

Supporters of Venezuela's President Nicolas Maduro use gunfire to prevent the delivery of aid to the country. At least two people were killed on the border with Brazil. We hear from a former Maduro advisor.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Dr. H. A. Hellyer, Senior Associate Fellow at the Royal United Services Institute in London and the Atlantic Council in Washington, DC, and Dr. Kat Arney, science writer and broadcaster.
