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.

Lisäksi tässä podcastissa on ensimmäinen kuva violencea Iranin demonstraatioiden kautta. Ja tutkijat sanovat, että uusi maa on onnistunut maakkaan Antarktikin ison kilometriin. On todella tärkeää tietää tätä kaikkialla, jotta ne moduutit, joilla maa on muuttunut tulevaisuudessa, voivat olla paremmat.

101.011 - 127.454 Will Chalk

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.

127.454 - 149.341 Will Chalk

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.

149.797 - 188.626 Maria Corina Machado

Esittelin Yhdysvaltojen presidentin nobelprisepriisiin. Ja sanoin hänelle tämän, kuuntele tämän. 200 vuotta sitten General Lafayette gave Simon Bolivar a medal with George Washington's face on it. It was given by General Lafayette as a sign of the brotherhood between the United States, people of the United States and the people of Venezuela in their fight for freedom against tyranny.

189.065 - 218.613 Will Chalk

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.

Seuraavana päivänä kaupungissa näimme monia nuoria kaupungilla. Kysyimme heitä, mitä tapahtui. He eivät voineet puhua. Se on niin horifikki, koska moni heidän ystävänsä oli kuullut.

914.099 - 940.323 Will Chalk

Ymmärrätkö, ettei täällä ole niin paljon ihmisiä. Kaikki, joiden puhuttiin, sanoivat, että ystäväni pysähtyi, kun he olivat syötäneet yläpäivääni. Ja sitten toinen päivä, 9.1., he aloittivat syötämään ihmisiä suoraan heidän kanssaan. Oli melkein 10 tai 11 päivää. Ehkä vain yksi tunti sitten, kun protesit alkoivat.

There were people on the back of a Toyota, you know, just like ISIS, something like this. And they're shouting, if you're brave enough, come out, come out and see what will happen to you. They were going in all the alleys, in all the streets, and they were shouting to people to come out. And it was something, you know, for example, imagine this 19 years old boy. They followed him with a Toyota, and they found him in a dead end and shot him. I think they had some orders that gave them more freedom to do whatever they wanted to do.

You came out of Iran. How much contact have you had with your friends and relatives? What are they saying now about what's happening? Are the protests still ongoing? In the small towns from where we were in the north, after the second night and the third night, they're saying that the armed forces are so dominant in the town. My mum was saying that I am seeing more armed forces than ordinary people.

Right, a fact for you now. We know more about the surface of some planets in our solar system than we do about what lies between the vast ice of Antarctica. But researchers are making breakthroughs. They've developed a new map of the continent's underbelly, revealing thousands of previously undiscovered hills and ridges. They hope the research, published in the academic journal Science, will improve understanding of how the continent might respond to climate change. The study's lead author is Helen Ockenden.

1073.129 - 1095.387 Helen Ockenden

Having that high resolution of all those lumps and bumps can really affect how the ice is moving. So it's really important to know this everywhere so that those models of how sea level is going to change in the future can be more accurate. And that really helps policymakers and governments to make decisions about do we need to build a 10 meter or a 20 meter seawall? When do we need to do it?

1095.505 - 1122.303 Will Chalk

With more details, here is our climate reporter Mark Pointing. Thanks to data collected by satellites, scientists have a good understanding of Antarctica's icy surface. But what lies beneath has remained more of a mystery. In fact, more is known about the surface of some planets in our solar system than much of what's under the continent's ice. Now researchers have used a new approach to create what they believe to be the most detailed map of the landscape yet.

1122.607 - 1147.598 Will Chalk

The ridges, mountains and channels shape how fast the glasses above move, and understanding the topography could help scientists work out how quickly the ice might retreat in a warming climate. The scientists say more research is needed to give greater confidence in their findings, but they hope the new map will ultimately improve understanding of the potential impact on sea levels from Antarctica's melting ice.

But there are practical trade measures that they're talking about. So to give you an idea of some of the things that Mark Carney, who is by the way Canada's first prime minister to visit here since 2017, what he has been saying to Xi Jinping over the last hour at the Great Hall of the People. So both sides have described this meeting as a turning point for their two countries. Mark Carney said that they were forging ahead with this new partnership

1377.503 - 1401.483 Mark Pointing

that both sides could make historic gains, particularly in agriculture, agri-food, energy and finance, and this is what I believe we can do in the immediate future. So very optimistic from him, but also, you know, they have these meetings, often it's all symbolic, our two great countries, yadda yadda yadda, and everyone leaves feeling quite good about it.

1401.483 - 1413.464 Mark Pointing

But this is a pretty substantial delegation, which has come here from Canada, and we're being told that apart from these kind of big picture meetings, on the sidelines they are negotiating...

1413.937 - 1442.692 Mark Pointing

Well, to attempt to work out a way that China could sell more electric vehicles into Canada. And that means reducing tariffs on those cars, which Canada, just like the US and Europe, had placed on China's EVs, accusing Beijing of artificially propping up these industries. Now, if that can be worked out, China's going to buy more raw materials. China's going to buy more agricultural products from Canada. Now, why would that be important to Canada? Because...

1443.181 - 1472.392 Mark Pointing

Everyone can see that its relationship with its previous number one ally, the US, just across the border is kind of running off the rails at times with this unhinged government in the US putting tariffs on Canada despite their free trade agreement. And so Ottawa was looking around for other places to deal with. And even though you've got to send your goods all the way across the Pacific, a long way to China, this is a country with deep pockets.

1472.392 - 1483.613 Mark Pointing

Ja ainakin suurimmat parantumiset Suomessa voivat tarkoittaa paljon rahaa toisistaan. Niin se on se, mitä he haluavat. Kuinka vaikeaa se on saada?

1486.499 - 1513.111 Mark Pointing

Not so difficult to tell the truth, because really the cause of the tensions, those things have gone away. People will remember there were these two Canadian Michaels controversially thrown in prison here in response to Canada detaining Meng Wanzhou, a Huawei executive at the US's behest. Now all of that's been worked out. You know, so that...

1513.111 - 1541.022 Mark Pointing

considerable pressure and distrust that came from that period. Now that the Michaels have been released, now that Meng Wanzhou is back in China, well, they can, it's like enough water has gone under the bridge. So I think they can work things out. And what Canada is trying to do is to say, let's get back to how this all started. We were one of the first countries to recognise the People's Republic of China back in the 70s. It's a kind of bond like that that we need to focus on.

1541.309 - 1570.03 Will Chalk

Stephen McDonnell puhuu minulle Beijingista. Olemme hyvin ja todellisesti jatkuvaksi. Jatkuvaa viikkoa on tullut ja mennyt. Ja sinä voi hyvin tiedä joku, joka on yllättynyt, että he eivät syö alkoholia tämän kuukauden, koska he tekevät mitä kutsutaan syövän jatkuvaksi. Toivottavasti uusia tietoja osoittaa, että enemmän meitä valitaan kutkeutumaan alkoholien käsittelyä koko vuosi. Imran Rahman Jones on katsomassa kasvua non-alkoholiinikin syötä.
