Only in terms of what is happening on the ground politically in Venezuela, Donald Trump ruled out really early on over the weekend elections, but you have Maria Corina Machado tentatively perhaps returning to Venezuela, but the US president saying there is no respect for her, and yet she was largely seen as the real winner of the last set of elections.
Really briefly on this, I was listening to an interview from Marco Rubio over the weekend, and he was talking about the problems with Duro.
He just wouldn't, he said, do a deal, make an accommodation with Donald Trump.
Is that what this is all about, that the leaders of any sort of country are required now to do what the US president is actually demanding?
We've only got a couple of minutes left, so a final thought, because there are huge dangers here, potentially, aren't there, in Venezuela?
There are plenty of militias, you have an army still in place, a new president, and all sorts of historic precedents where interventions from the US have gone horribly wrong.
