Recognising Juan Guaidó risks a bloody civil war in Venezuela | Temir Porras Ponceleon

Maduro’s rule has created a crisis but he still has millions of supporters. The country needs democratic dialogue, not sanctions
• Temir Porras Ponceleon is a former chief of staff to Nicolás Maduro

The latest troubling events in Venezuela are the most recent episode in a political crisis that has been festering since the death of Hugo Chávez six years ago. Following President Nicolás Maduro’s inauguration for a disputed second term in January, the speaker of the opposition-dominated parliament, Juan Guaidó, declared himself “interim president” of the country. Guaidó was immediately recognised by the US, Canada and a group of Latin American conservative governments, who called upon the Venezuelan military to rise up against Maduro. And today the UK, France, Spain, Germany and other European countries recognised Guaidó after Maduro refused their demand to call fresh elections.

Since Guaidó’s declaration, the Trump administration has imposed new sanctions on Maduro’s government, seized billions-worth of Venezuelan oil-related assets on US soil, and started making barely veiled threats of military intervention. Few would disagree that the country is in a disastrous economic and social situation, but before other governments take similar actions that could exacerbate Venezuela’s political polarisation and end up provoking a bloody civil war, we should first understand how it reached this state of crisis.

Flat Earth rising: meet the people casting aside 2500 years of science – video

Though not a new phenomenon, flat Earth theory has enjoyed a huge resurgence recently. A YouGov poll indicated that a third of Americans aged 18 to 24 were unsure of the shape of our planet, in spite of scientific proofs from Pythagoras to Nasa. Why has this happened now, and what does it tell us about society today?

‘We will take action,’ says Cardi B as stars and Black Lives Matter movement support musician detained by US immigration officials

Stars from the US rap scene including Cardi B, Quavo and Metro Boomin have thrown their support behind a campaign created by the Black Lives Matter movement to free rapper 21 Savage.

Romania moves to block own candidate from EU prosecutor role

more than strange

Laura Codruţa Kövesi considered favourite despite opposition from justice minister

Romania’s justice minister has vowed to do everything in his power to block his own country’s lauded candidate for the new role of EU public prosecutor.

Laura Codruţa Kövesi won plaudits as Romania’s anti-corruption tsar for her bold attempts to stamp out graft in one of the EU’s most corrupt member states. As head of the National Anti-Corruption Directorate (DNA), she went after prime ministers, sitting and former ministers, mayors and members of parliament, before her dismissal on the orders of the justice minister, Tudorel Toader, in July 2018.

Study finds failure of English language medical journals to comply with international ethical standards

A world-first study has called for the mass retraction of more than 400 scientific papers on organ transplantation, amid fears the organs were obtained unethically from Chinese prisoners.

The Australian-led study exposes a mass failure of English language medical journals to comply with international ethical standards in place to ensure organ donors provide consent for transplantation.

Backstop? No backstop? As May woos supporters, old rivals agree: all the options are doomed

Theresa May visited Northern Ireland this week to pitch a deal that will “command broad support”. But on the streets of Belfast the only consensus about Brexit was a collective groan.

Those who want a hard Brexit or no Brexit or just never want to hear the word again expressed little confidence on Tuesday that the prime minister’s two-day trip to Belfast will muster support.
