Venezuela: Families torn apart

We hear from one Venezuelan family that’s spread across the world.

The opposition leader in Venezuela, Maria Corina Machado, has called for nationwide and worldwide protests on Saturday, to support the opposition's claim of victory in the presidential election two weeks ago. We have been hearing from Venezuelans all week. Today we bring together one family, with the mother the only one remaining in the country.

We have the latest on the spread of mpox with the first case of a new strain confirmed outside Africa.

More protests are expected in India against the rape and murder of a junior doctor in a Kolkata hospital last week. We hear another conversation about being a woman in India.

The British and French foreign ministers have condemned an attack by extremist Israeli settlers on a village in the occupied West Bank. We get the latest on the incident and on the ceasefire talks in Qatar.

Presenter: Luke Jones.
