US imposes sanctions on Venezuela's president

BBC World Service - Business Matters, US imposes sanctions on Venezuela's president

Nicolas Maduro has been called a 'dictator' and has been sanctioned by the US Government.

Venezuelans elected a new assembly on Sunday to draft a new constitution but there are many doubts about it as anti-government protests continue. Under the sanctions, US firms and individuals are banned from doing business with Mr Maduro. We're live in Caracas.

President Trump dismisses White House communications director Anthony Scaramucci after 10 days in the office. He felt his comments to a reporter were 'inappropriate' for a person in his position. We speak to Politico journalist Daniel Lippman.

Plus two of the biggest TV networks in the US are combining: Discovery Communications, owner of Discovery Channel and Animal Planet, has bought Scripps Networks for $14.6bn.

And....money in your sneakers. Our reporter puts on her best pair and finds out why sports shoes are now a billion dollar market.
