BBC World Service - BBC OS, Guyana-Venezuela tensions

The president of Guyana, Irfaan Ali, has put the military on high alert after his Venezuelan counterpart Nicolás Maduro ordered his state oil company to issue extraction licences in the oil- rich region of Essequibo. We speak to two journalists - one in Guyana and one in Venezuela - to get the latest on what's happening.

We hear from Blackpink fans after it was confirmed they renewed their contract to stay together after months of negotiations. Their agency YG Entertainment said in a statement that "an exclusive contract for group activities based on strong trust" has been signed.

And the former British prime minister, Boris Johnson, has been giving evidence about how he handled the Covid-19 outbreak. We get analysis from our political correspondent.
