Summary

Iran warns against any challenge to its control of the Strait of Hormuz as Tehran and Washington accuse each other of violating their ceasefire again - just how fragile is it? Also on the programme: as hopes fade of finding survivors of Venezuela's earthquakes, we'll be reporting from the city worst-hit by the disaster; and press freedom in Uganda is under threat as the army chief vows to shut down one of its leading independent media groups.
