Venezuela deal to try to end humanitarian crisis agreed

Venezuela's government and the opposition have signed an agreement to try to find a way out of the country's social, political, and economic crisis.

During talks in Mexico, they issued a joint statement requesting that billions of dollars frozen abroad be released to help fund social projects. It comes after years of failed attempts to solve a political deadlock.

Also in the programme: We take stock of the mood in Moscow as Russia's war in Ukraine drags on; and what philosophy lessons can we take from Bob Dylan's music?

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other issues are Jennifer Cassidy, a lecturer in diplomatic studies at the University of Oxford and Alex Andreou, a Greek-born actor, writer and broadcaster based in London.
