Security forces patrol Venezuelan streets
The Venezuelan government has intensified the suppression of political opponents.
In an image shared by Interior Minister Diosdado Cabello, armed police are seen patrolling the streets of Venezuela's capital Caracas. Citizen militias are reportedly preventing any celebrations of the seizure of Mr Maduro by US special forces. We speak to our regional experts and our colleagues at the Languages and Foreign desks about the unfolding crisis. We also hear a conversation with four Venezuelans abroad.
We hear from Switzerland, where officials admit safety checks were neglected for years at the bar where a catastrophic New Year鈥檚 Day fire broke out.
The English football club, Chelsea, have confirmed the appointment of Liam Rosenior as the new manager of their men's team. We get reaction from fans.
