I'm Will Chalk and at 4.30 GMT on Friday the 16th of January, these are our main stories. The Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Karina Machado has given her Nobel Peace Prize to President Trump, but there's no sign she secured his backing to lead her country after talks at the White House.
Mr. Trump has threatened to send soldiers to put down protests in Democrat-run Minnesota over the presence of thousands of federal immigration officers. The Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is visiting China, hoping to improve strained relations.
LisÀksi tÀssÀ podcastissa on ensimmÀinen kuva violencea Iranin demonstraatioiden kautta. Ja tutkijat sanovat, ettÀ uusi maa on onnistunut maakkaan Antarktikin ison kilometriin. On todella tÀrkeÀÀ tietÀÀ tÀtÀ kaikkialla, jotta ne moduutit, joilla maa on muuttunut tulevaisuudessa, voivat olla paremmat.
It's been a big day for the two women vying to be central in the future of Venezuela. Opposition leader Maria Karina Machado has met Donald Trump at the White House. In October she gained international prominence by being awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in recognition of her long fight for democracy in her country. Back in 2023 she won the opposition primary by a landslide, but was barred from running in the presidential election.
Many thought that following the recent American military operation to seize President Nicolas Maduro, she would be the obvious candidate to replace him. But so far Mr. Trump has failed to officially endorse her, saying she wasn't respected enough to lead the country. The White House has said the meeting went very well. This is what Ms. Machado said after the meeting, surrounded by supporters and press.
Well, the Nobel Peace Prize, and presumably the medal that goes with it, is something Donald Trump has made no secret that he wants badly. And he has expressed his gratitude in a social media post, saying the move was a wonderful gesture of mutual respect. Meanwhile in Venezuela, the acting leader, Delcy Rodriguez, has been walking a diplomatic tightrope. She's trying to meet Trump's demands without alienating Maduro loyalists, who control Venezuela's security forces and feared paramilitaries.
Our Central America correspondent Will Grant is in the Cuban capital Havana, where tributes are being paid to 32 of the country's soldiers and security personnel who were killed in Venezuela during the US capture of Nicolas Maduro. I asked Will what Ms Machado had been hoping to achieve in her discussions with the US president.
Maria Corina Machado oli, jos haluat, yksityiskohtaisen poliitikko, joka oli viime vuoden valmistelun jÀsen, Edmundo Gonzålez. HÀn vaikuttaa erittÀin erityisesti VenÀjÀllÀ tulevaisuudessa olevaan hallituksessa, ja toivottavasti hallituksen johtajana olevansa valmistelun jÀsen.
It's not surprising that she has met with Donald Trump even if he was initially quite dismissive of her possibilities of being president. It's going to be interesting to see how that personal relationship begins to fare now that Nicolas Maduro has been removed from power and whether or not this peace offering of the Nobel Peace Prize medal is sufficient to smooth over any differences they might have.
Olet mainittanut medalin. Se oli todennÀköisesti haastavaa hetkeÀ. Oletko uskonut, ettÀ se auttaa Donald Trumpin vahvistamiseen? Olemme tehneet paljon siitÀ, kun puhutaan Yhdysvalloista ja muista puolustuksista, kun katsotaan sitÀ, ettÀ se voisi olla vaikuttanut hÀnen tuntemukseen, ettÀ hÀn tuntui hÀnen tuntemukseen, kun hÀn tuntui hÀnen tuntemukseen.
I'm not so convinced that that really is behind the fact that the Trump administration is working with Delcy Rodriguez as an interim president in Venezuela. I think it seems like there were security and intelligence assessments of the opposition's plan for government, and it was deemed that they weren't ready or they weren't sufficient, and that Washington would essentially be having to prop up a proxy government for years and years.
Ja he eivÀt uskonut, ettÀ se oli niin vaikeaa kuin työskennellÀ Maduro-administraatioiden muiden osin, kun hÀn oli ulos kuvassa. Jotenkin se on tietenkin erinomainen, ettÀ hÀn antaa medalin Donald Trumpille.
Meanwhile, we've got Delcy Rodriguez with this almost seemingly impossible task of continuing Maduro's socialist agenda, but also appeasing the US. And to make things harder, while she was speaking, she had Nicolas Maduro's family in parliament today.
Joten siinĂ€ on se yksi osa, jossa olen Cubaan, ja sekin dynamicti. KyseessĂ€ on tietenkin cuban liikkuvuus VenĂ€jĂ€llĂ€. KyseessĂ€ on tietenkin ihmisiĂ€ Cubaan, jotka ovat erittĂ€in miettivĂ€t siitĂ€, mitĂ€ tulevaisuudessa tulee, jos Delsio RodrĂguez jatketaan Donald Trumpista.
Mutta VenÀjÀllÀ on myös ihmisiÀ, jotka arvostavat, ettÀ tÀmÀ on sopiva sosiaalinen hallitus, sosiaalinen hallitus, jossa on lÀheisiÀ liikkeitÀ Havannaan. Ja jos jotain toimii toisen suuntaan, vaikka se antaa uusia mÀÀrÀkulmia Yhdysvalloille, eikÀ anna niitÀ Havannaan. Olet oikeassa, hÀn on hyvin vaikea tehtÀvÀ kokeilla nÀitÀ kaksi erittÀin erilaisia nÀkökulmia.
TĂ€llĂ€ hetkellĂ€ he ovat soittaneet jonkinlainen vihreĂ€ kautta ympĂ€rillĂ€, mutta en ole varma, kuinka pitkĂ€lti se voi loppua ennen kuin jotain alkaa antaa. Se oli Will Grant Kuban kaupungin Havanaan. MennÀÀn taas Yhdysvalloille tĂ€mĂ€n seuraavaksi, koska presidentti Trump on vahvistunut lĂ€hettĂ€mÀÀn sÀÀntöÀ sÀÀntöön Minnesotassa, jossa he ovat rauhoittaneet 2 000â3 000 ympĂ€ristöryhmÀÀ Minneapolisiin.

Usually members of the military are prohibited from being used in domestic civil or criminal law enforcement. The Insurrection Act of 1807 grants an exception to that in the event that the commander-in-chief decides that members of the military are needed to quell a rebellion. And that allows the occupant of the White House to either send in members of the armed forces or
Kiitos puheenjohtaja.
It's more than 30 years since the law was last invoked, in fact. That was at the behest of the governor of California during the Los Angeles riots back in 1992. And it was only implemented on the very rarest of occasions prior to that. President Trump, of course, we know, has already taken the unusual step of federalizing democracy.
