The US capture of Venezuela's president Nicolas Maduro has been sharply criticised by his allies - but not by Western nations, despite questions about its legality. So, does the operation signal a new aggressive US strategy - and what might the global impact be? Presenter: Adrian Finighan Guests: Charles Shapiro - a former US Ambassador to Venezuela under President George W. Bush. Stefan Wolff - Professor of International Security at the University of Birmingham, UK. Ernesto Castaneda - Director of the Center for Latin American and Latino Studies at the American University in Washington DC.

At the heart of the Spanish expansion was the close alliance between crown, church and conquest. Military campaigns were inseparable from missionary efforts as conversion to Christianity became both a justification for empire and a tool of control. Faith and force advanced together, reshaping societies across the Americas. Through the conquests of the Aztec and Incan empires, the documentary shows how Spanish power was established through violence, alliances and religious authority. The mission system spread across the Americas, reorganising Indigenous life around churches, labour regimes and colonial administration. Conversion promised salvation but enforced obedience and cultural destruction. The film also examines the economic foundations of Spanish imperial power. Vast quantities of gold and silver were extracted from the Americas alongside the exploitation of Indigenous and enslaved labour. These resources fuelled European economies, financed global trade and helped integrate the Americas into an emerging world system built on extraction and inequality. By tracing how faith, conquest and wealth operated together, the documentary reveals how Spanish colonialism shaped global capitalism, religious power and imperial governance. It shows how the legacies of conquest, forced conversion and resource extraction continue to influence social inequality, cultural identity and economic structures in the modern world and how current global superpowers like the United States and China adopt this model to their benefit. It also draws on the parallels between the erasure of cultural artefacts then and today's "algorithmic colonisation".

Gao tells host Steve Clemons that improved China-US relations are “inevitable” although he warns that some American policymakers still view China as the number one threat and Chinese officials “never underestimate what American neofascists will cook up next”. In this wide-ranging conversation, Gao maintains that Beijing has replaced Washington as the world’s champion of free trade and won’t allow the US to dominate the field of artificial intelligence.https://players.brightcove.net/665003303001/6tKQRAx7lu_default/index.html?videoId=638722226311214402026-01-04T17:00:42.840ZDonald TrumpPoliticsTrade WarXi Jinpinghttps://www.aljazeera.com/video/talk-to-al-jazeera/2026/1/4/un-general-assembly-president-on-war-vetoes-and-un-reform2026-01-04T14:49:20Zhttps://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/image-1767538151.jpg?fit=1920%2C1080UN General Assembly president on war, vetoes and UN reformAs global crises multiply and trust in international institutions erodes, the United Nations faces growing questions about its relevance and authority.

In this episode of Talk to Al Jazeera, UN General Assembly President Annalena Baerbock reflects on the UN’s credibility, the limits of the UNSC, and whether a more assertive UNGA can drive reform before the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals deadline.https://players.brightcove.net/665003303001/6tKQRAx7lu_default/index.html?videoId=638721797411217002026-01-04T14:43:19.146ZGazaIsrael-Palestine conflictRussia-Ukraine warSudan warUnited Nationshttps://www.aljazeera.com/video/newsfeed/2026/1/4/venezuelans-divided-after-us-attack-and-maduros-abduction2026-01-04T13:36:29Zhttps://www.aljazeera.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/image-1767533639.jpg?fit=1920%2C1080Venezuelans divided after US attack and Maduro’s abductionVenezuelan officials say US air strikes killed at least 40 people, destroyed parts of the capital and violated their national sovereignty with the abduction of President Nicolas Maduro.
