Is Libya heading for a civil war?

As clashes continue south of the capital, we hear from Libyan politicians on both sides.

In Libya the forces of General Haftar have ignored warnings from the United Nations and continued their advance towards the capital Tripoli. His supporters say he's on a mission to restore order to an ungoverned city - but opponents call him a renegade army officer.

Also in the programme; Venezuelans prepare for another mass protest against President Maduro - and we explore the world of aphantasia - a condition in which you can't conjure up visual images.
