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.
Chapter 2: What happened during the fatal shooting of Renee Good in Minneapolis?
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.
Chapter 3: How did local officials respond to the ICE shooting incident?
Ice agents repeatedly ordered her to get out of the car and to stop obstructing law enforcement, but she refused to obey their commands. She then proceeded to weaponize her vehicle, and she attempted to run a law enforcement officer over. This appears as an attempt to kill or to cause bodily harm to agents, an act of domestic terrorism.
The ICE officer fearing for his life and the other officers around him and the safety of the public fired defensive shots. He used his training to save his own life and that of his colleagues. But the mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Fry, says that account of what happened isn't true and that immigration agents should leave the city. We've dreaded this moment since the early stages of this ICE presence in Minneapolis. They are not here to cause safety in this city.
What they are doing is not to provide safety in America. What they are doing is causing chaos and distrust. They're ripping families apart. They're sowing chaos on our streets. And in this case, quite literally killing people. David Willis is our North America correspondent.
Video of this incident, Chris, shows a maroon-colored SUV cutting through a crowd of federal agent vehicles on a suburban street. As the SUV moves forward, an immigration official attempts to open the driver's side door.
Ja sillä hetkellä, kun moottori jatkuu, toivottavasti kuuluu, että joku toinen jäsen, joku toinen asiantuntija, saapuu ja laittaa sotilasta. Seuraavaksi moottori jatkuu paikalleen, ja sen jälkeen on kuulunut, että jäsen, joka on takana moottoriin,
The victim of this incident was 37-year-old Renee Good. Now officials say that she was not the target of immigration enforcement activity at the time. How can there be two very, very different characterizations of the events that took place, when even the video evidence that you suggest, it can be interpreted surely in only one way, no?
Well, that's right. There are two starkly contrasting accounts of what happened, Chris. The mayor of Minneapolis, Jacob Fry, has accused those federal agents of sowing chaos in the city. The Minnesota Democratic governor, Tim Walz, blamed the incident on a federal administration that seeks to, as he put it, ferment fear, headlines and conflict. And Donald Trump weighed in as well, claiming...
The agent in question acted in self-defense. He said the driver of the car viciously tried to run over the agent who seemed to have shot her in self-defense.
Mr. Trump goes on, these incidents are happening is because the radical left is threatening, assaulting and targeting our law enforcement officers and ICE agents on a daily basis. But it's true that hundreds of immigration enforcement agents have been sent to the state of Minnesota in the last month.

Chapter 4: What claims did President Trump make about Venezuela's oil sales?
I think at the moment we're seeing not just a hemispheric, but a global version of that. And he's moving so quickly that it's causing consternation, I think, not just among adversaries, but among allies as well. And that's because they can't predict which way he's going. Is it just good judgment? Is it arrogance? Is it hubris, overconfidence before a disaster? We've talked about a new world order before, but do you feel like this is a new, new world order?
What we're seeing now is really the starkest exposition, if you like, of the way that Donald Trump and his people regard power and the way that power is used and the way that America can use it. And I think there are some constants in the way that they behave, even though it's super unpredictable. He believes strongly that America can use power with impunity.
Nyt se, että Amerikassa käyttää voimaa tällaisissa hetkissä, ja ajattelen erityisesti 9.11-vaikutuksista 2001, kun al-Qaeda vaikuttaa Amerikkaan. Se loppui todella pahasti amerikkalaisille. Silloin oli se mukaan, että me voimme tehdä paljon ja katsotaan, kuinka vahvasti olemme. Se oli käsitellyt eri tavalla. He uskaltavat yhdistelmiä, mutta seuraukset Irakissa ja Afganistanissa olivat ongelmia, katastrofeja ja muut.
So he thinks though it's going to be different because he has great faith in the power of his will backed up by raw American power and he's surrounded by people who agree with him and keep telling him he's right. I just wonder as China and Russia, how will they be viewing these events? Chinese diplomats I think did about the last meeting with the former Venezuelan president before the Americans went in just a matter of hours beforehand. They were in his palace and he was joking with them dressed in a
Hyvän suunnan, mutta eivät se ole se, mitä hänellä on nyt olemassa. Ja tänään amerikkalaisen vahvistelijan tankki oli, russit sanoivat, jatkuvasti, mutta se oli russin vahvistelija. Nyt, mielenkiintoisesti, kun kainsalaiset vahvistelivat, mitä he mielestäni oikeasti arvioivat, että se oli vahvistelijan vahvistelijan vahvistelijan vahvistelijan vahvistelijan vahvistelijan.
I think it's because both those big countries are eyeing Trump and they're thinking, hmm, I wonder what he's up to. Not least because if he believes there can be an American empire, then maybe he'll agree that there can be a Chinese empire in Asia. And maybe he'll agree with Russia that actually they deserve to have Ukraine.
and they certainly deserve to have all of the territory that they're claiming in the formulations of possible ceasefire agreements. So I think they are probably now standing back. There are smart, experienced people in Moscow and in Beijing, and they are thinking, what's in this for us? BBC International editor Jeremy Bowen. Still to come in the Global News Podcast...
