BBC OS

Available for 22 days

When describing the Venezuela operation, Trump dusted off the 1823 Monroe Doctrine and its promise of US supremacy in the western hemisphere - re-branding it the "Donroe Doctrine". We check in with journalists covering Greenland, Colombia, and Cuba, and we speak to our South America correspondent about the situation in Venezuela. We also hear a conversation with four Venezuelans abroad. French President Emmanuel Macron is hosting Ukraine's leader Volodymyr Zelensky and other key allies of the country as efforts intensify to agree security guarantees for Kyiv in the event of a ceasefire with Russia. We have the latest from our regional expert. Presenter: Rahul Tandon.
