Newshour

Available for 29 days

A former planning minister of Venezuela, Ricardo Hausmann, has told Newshour that the current government is slowing down aid effort by ‘creating obstacles.’ We also hear from a Venezuelan who has been raising money abroad to help fund the relief effort. Also on the programme: How the young in Gaza are trying to resume online careers; and why a puffer fish invasion is causing havoc in Greece’s fishing industry.
