As the US places sanctions on the Venezuelan President, Nicolas Maduro, we have a report from Caracas and speak to a US Congressman Joaquin Castro. Also: why has Anthony Scaramucci lost his job just 10 days being appointed. We hear from an MP from President Putin's party and former US ambassador to Moscow after the Kremlin orders the US to cut 755 of its staff inside Russia.
