Growing international unease over Niger coup

The EU has suspended all security cooperation with Niger after the country's army took power in a coup. It comes shortly after the US declared its "unflagging support" for ousted president Mohamed Bazoum - seen as a key Western ally in the fight against Islamist militants. On Friday the head of the presidential guards unit Gen Abdourahmane Tchiani declared himself Niger's new leader.

Also on the programme: a new documentary about life in Venezuela; and new research into adult imagination.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss all this and more are Agnes Callard, professor of philosophy at the University of Chicago; and the author and broadcaster John Kampfner.
