On Tuesday's programme, we talked about the ongoing Venezuelan saga, where US President Donald Trump has warned of more military strikes if the country's interim leaders refuse to obey Washington. It comes comes as doctors in Caracas have said that about 70 people were killed when US forces raided the city and captured President Nicolas Maduro and his wife. Mr Trump meanwhile has made it clear that he wants US oil companies to go in and rebuild the South American country. Where does the current Venezuelan leadership go from here, and what are the wider implications for the region?
After the break, we heard about new rules unveiled by Beijing to rein in aggressive pricing tactics by online platforms. One of the ways it plans to do this is to stop e-commerce operators from forcing merchants to offer discounts.
And our tech correspondent wrapped the show by telling us more about the latest innovative update to the nation's DeepSeek chatbot.
