This edition contains: as Venezuela continues its social, political and economic meltdown, BBC correspondent Will Grant reports from a shanty town about how nationwide power cuts have hit water supplies, raising the spectre of disease in the poorest areas; while Carlos Molina, a former Rear Admiral in the Venezuelan Army and who was also a security adviser to the Chavez government, and Maryhen Jiménez Morales, Oxford University specialist in Venezuelan politics, analyse how the crisis can be resolved. BBC environment correspondent, Kevin Keane, examines why Orkney has been identified as a test bed for a renewable energy grid which, theoretically, should reduce or even eliminate Scotland's reliance on fossil fuels. BBC reporter Lopa Kothari brings a report from the first Aga Khan Music Awards, which focus on musicians from the Muslim world, and in our Long Interview Bill Whiteford discusses the future of cities with Brian Evans, Professor of Urbanism and Landscape at the Mackintosh School of Architecture the School of Art, who has been appointed by councillors as Glasgow's first City Urbanist.
