I'm Chris Barrow and at 4.30 GMT on Thursday the 8th of January, these are our main stories. The shooting dead of a woman by a federal immigration officer in the US city of Minneapolis has sparked a huge row between the Trump administration and local officials over who's to blame. Donald Trump says Venezuela has agreed to buy only American goods with the money it will receive from a new oil deal. Our international editor gives us his assessment of the changing world order.

Also in this podcast... A new study suggests that people who stop taking weight loss jabs put weight back on much more quickly than if they'd been dieting. And in tennis, the wildest of wild cards...

A woman who could barely hit a serve loses almost every single point at a tournament in Kenya. First to Minneapolis in the United States.

The chance of hundreds of people who've been attending a vigil for Renee Good, a 37-year-old woman shot dead in a car by a federal agent from ICE, that's Immigrations and Customs Enforcement. The incident has sparked a row over who was to blame. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem claimed the woman had blocked the road with her car, then tried to run over officers.

David Willis. Donald Trump has announced that any money Caracas receives from oil sales will only be used to buy products made in America and that he'll decide how the profits will be divided between the US and Venezuela. He also claims that the US taking control of Venezuela's oil reserves will bring prices down. So how will this affect the market price of oil? Nick Marsh is our business correspondent.

Donald Trump says it will come down because of an increased supply, you know, just working on a basic supply and demand premise. But the numbers don't really back that up. Venezuela contributes less than 1% to the world's global oil supply. The supply in general is pretty high now. The US uses around 20 million barrels of oil a day, so we need to be talking about an enormous amount of oil to move the dial here, and that's just not the case.

There is also, of course, a political dimension to it all. We know Donald Trump is vulnerable on the economy, on the cost of living. The midterm elections are at the end of the year. And he will be wanting to show that he's doing everything possible to lower that cost of living, not least by bringing down the price of oil. China used to buy most of Venezuela's oil. So will they continue to do that, or is it going to be tainted by the Donald Trump connection?

It looks like they won't be able to if the US is indeed controlling the oil supply, as the White House says it is. China will find another supplier, probably a more expensive one. There's been reports of maybe Iranian oil, but it's a disruption for Beijing more than a proper economic blow, because Venezuelan oil only made up of quite a small percentage of China's oil imports. What it does do, though...

It effectively severs a partnership that had been getting closer and closer for many years now. China had been pouring lots of money into Venezuela in exchange for this oil, and that displeased the White House. Marco Rubio has explicitly said that America's adversaries were operating in the Western Hemisphere, in Latin America, where the US should be calling the shots.

Voitte nähdä, että näiden lisääntyneiden rauhoitukset sopimusten rauhoituksista, joiden kautta rauhoitukset käsittelevät sanktionneista öljyä, kuten Ruotsissa, Iranissa ja muissa amerikkalaisissa. Tämä on jotain, jota Yhdysvallat ottaa erittäin huonosti. Kuten kaikki nämä geopoliittiset rauhoitukset, paljon tuntuu rauhoituksista Beijingin ja Washingtonin välillä. Öljyryhmät itse asiassa, luulettavasti, ovat olleet olleet sanoneet, että he voivat ottaa osaa.

The oil companies, they might not want to invest in this setup. Well, they've not said anything publicly. We know that the US Energy Secretary is meeting with them this week. The White House is very keen to get them on board. But they're going to want security guarantees. They're going to want guarantees of political stability. We still don't really know who's running things in Venezuela right now. These companies were kicked out in the late 2000s under Hugo Chavez when the oil industry was fully nationalized. They lost billions in assets there.

They're going to want guarantees on returns for the billions and billions they're going to have to invest and the many, many years it's going to take to rebuild this industry that's fallen into disuse. Donald Trump says 18 months. Experts say it's going to take a lot longer than that. And then there's the question of where are these profits going to go? Because these oil companies are going to be ultimately accountable to their shareholders much more than they will be to the people of Venezuela.

Sitten on kysymys, että Venäjällä pitäisi ostaa amerikkojen tehtävien tuotteita, koska he voisivat tehdä niitä. Voiko se toimia? Se on Amerikan ensimmäinen poliisi, jota Yhdysvallat on hyvin yksinkertaisesti käsitellyt. Tietysti tiedämme niin pieniä konkreettisia asioita tässä. On vahva mahdollisuus, että poliisi on edelleen tehty, koska yhdessä Yhdysvallat sanoo, että amerikkalaiset yritykset ovat oikeassa käsitellä venäjällä öljy-industriaa.
