Mr Maduro is due to appear in a New York court later on drugs charges he says were a pretext for regime change. We get the latest from inside Venezuela. We also go to the border between Venezuela and Colombia and speak to our correspondent there. Donald Trump has vowed to tap into Venezuela's oil reserves after seizing President Nicolás Maduro and saying the US will "run" the country until a 'safe' transition.
