Today, we look at who’s in power now in Venezuela, after President Donald Trump said the US will ‘run’ the country. Maduro's Vice-President Delcy Rodríguez has been named interim president, who Trump says is talking to US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Chief political correspondent Henry Zeffman is also in the studio to talk through Prime Minister Keir Starmer’s interview with Laura in which he reacted to the news from South America, as well as his future and the UK’s relationship with the EU.

  • This BBC podcast is supported by ads outside the UK.

  • Trump to muscular gunboat diplomacy news event.

  • It is.

  • And while President Trump said it was amazing watching the strikes on Venezuela on the television,

  • it was like a TV show.

  • This is not a TV show.

  • Do not adjust your sets.

  • We are on day two of a very important, significant American action,

  • seizing the leader of a foreign country, taking him to America where he will stand trial.

  • So Nicholas Maduro is now in New York in handcuffs,

  • having been made to do the park walk in front of the world.

  • And that's where we begin Sunday's Newscast.

  • Hello, it's Laura in the studio.

  • It's Paddy in the studio.

  • And it's Henry in the studio.

  • IRL, as the kids would say, in real life.

  • It's lovely to have you with us.

  • A New Year's surprise.

  • Especially because we will talk about a bit later our long interview with Keir Starmer.

  • That is all there, newscasters for you in your feeds as a separate episode.
