Venezuela Extends Blockade on Dutch Caribbean Islands

Available for over a year

Venezuela has extended a commercial blockade on three Dutch Caribbean islands - Aruba, Curaçao and Bonaire - accusing them of harbouring powerful smuggling gangs. We hear from Leoni Leidel-Schenk, who writes for Caribbean Network in Curaçao. Plus, Karen Weise of Bloomberg on a man suing Google for discriminating against white men. Also in the programme, as the Consumer Electronics Show gets under way in Las Vegas, our reporter tells us what is catching people's attention. We hear about the hopes for 2018 for India's economy and have a report from Mozambique about the spread of a disease that is threatening the world's most commonly sold banana.
