What happens next in Venezuela?
The US will “run” Venezuela until a “safe, proper and judicious transition” can be ensured, Donald Trump has said, after US strikes led to the capture of the Latin American country’s president and his rendition to New York. What happens next in Venezuela? There’s been celebration and condemnation of America’s intervention. We’ll hear from in Caracas and also the Colombia-Venezuela border. Also in the programme: We also hear from a former Trump insider who worked with him on Venezuela, ask a leading international criminal lawyer about the legality of the situation; and we’ll hear about weight-loss drugs such as Ozempic, Mounjaro and Wegovy.

Health Warnings: Researchers are warning of a deadly “superbug” spreading across the U.S. due to increased drug resistance, and flu cases are reported to be surging nationwide.
1 minute agoIn January 2026, health officials and researchers issued urgent warnings regarding a dual rise in a drug-resistant “superbug” fungus and a highly contagious “super flu” variant spreading across the United States.
Deadly Superbug: Candida auris
Researchers from the Hackensack Meridian Center for Discovery and Innovation (CDI) and the CDC have warned that Candida auris (C. auris), a multidrug-resistant fungus, is spreading at an alarming rate.
Case Numbers: At least 7,000 cases were reported across 28 states in 2025, approaching record-breaking levels.
Key Risks: It primarily targets vulnerable patients in hospitals and nursing homes. The fungus can survive on surfaces for weeks and resists most standard antifungal treatments.
Mortality: Estimated mortality rates for those infected range from 30% to 60%.
Surging “Super Flu”: H3N2 Subclade K
A new influenza variant, colloquially termed the “super flu,” has triggered record-breaking illness levels as of early 2026.
Strain Details: The surge is driven by Influenza A (H3N2) subclade K, which emerged after seasonal vaccine strains were selected.
Vaccine Efficacy: Mutations in this variant may allow it to partially evade immunity from current flu shots, though vaccination still reduces the risk of severe outcomes.
Current Impact: As of January 2, 2026, the CDC estimated 7.5 million illnesses, 81,000 hospitalizations, and 3,100 deaths so far this season. 32 jurisdictions reported “high” or “very high” flu activity.
Recommended Actions
Vaccination: Health officials continue to recommend the flu vaccine as the primary defense against severe illness.
Hygiene & Testing: Frequent handwashing, wearing masks in crowded indoor spaces, and prompt testing for respiratory symptoms are advised.
Medical Care: For those at high risk, antiviral medications (e.g., Tamiflu, Xofluza) are most effective when started within 48 hours of symptom onset.– Google Search google.com/search?q=Health+W…
