Trump warns Venezuela’s new leader “do what’s right or pay a very big price” | BBC News


Donald Trump has issued a new threat against Venezuela, telling interim leader Delcy Rodríguez she will "pay a very big price” if she does not cooperate with the United States. It follows the US attack on the country and seizure of its president Nicolás Maduro, who has been flown to New York to face drugs trafficking charges. Ms Rodriguez, who served as vice-president under Mr Maduro, has publicly condemned the American operation, describing his capture as an atrocity and saying Venezuela will defend itself. However Donald Trump said in a new interview: “If she doesn’t do what’s right, she is going to pay a very big price, probably bigger than Maduro.” He had previously said that the US was going to “run Venezuela” for the time being and has repeatedly stated that the US plans to control the country’s vast oil reserves. The Trump administration has made clear that it is ready to carry out a further attack on Venezuela and has massed a large military presence in the region. Nicolás Maduro is being held in jail in New York and is expected to be brought before a court shortly on charges of drug trafficking and what the Trump administration describes as "narco-terrorism". Clive Myrie presents BBC News at Ten reporting by Tom Bateman, Vanessa Silva, Ione Wells, Nada Tawfik and Jeremy Bowen.

Sananda Maitreya - Wishing Well (Video)


Kissing like a bandit Stealing time Underneath a sycamore tree Cupid by the hour sends Valentines To my sweet lover and me Slowly But surely Your appetite is more than I knew Sweetly Softly I'm falling in love with you Wish me love a wishing well To kiss and tell A wishing well of butterfly tears Wish me love a wishing well To kiss and tell A wishing well of crocodile cheers Hugging like a monkey see Monkey do Right beside a riverboat gambler Erotic images float through my head So I wanna be Your midnight rambler Quickly Quickly The blood races through my veins Quickly Loudly I wanna hear those sugar bells ring Wish me love a wishing well To kiss and tell A wishing well of butterfly tears Wish me love a wishing well To kiss and tell A wishing well of crocodile cheers

GEORGE HARRISON - TIME BANDITS Dream Away


Waking while you're still deep sleeping Finding you're not here Watching a dream appear Tumbling through a thousand centuries You don't know where you'll land It's so dark in mythology Treasures of history to be found Near the legends of time All the handiworks remain there Only a dream away Greedy feeling wheeling dealing Losing what you won See the dream come undone Stumble you may with the elementary Lucky you got so far All you owe is apologies Measure the mystery and astound Without taking up time So the handiworks remain there Only a dream away

The Sisters of Mercy - Lucretia My Reflection (Extended Version)


I hear the roar of a big machineTwo worlds and in betweenHot metal and methedrineI hear your empire downI hear your empire down
I hear the roar of the big machineTwo worlds and in betweenLove lost, fire at willDum-dum bullets and shoot to killI hear dive bombers and empire downEmpire down
I hear the sounds of the city and dispossessedGet down, get undressedGet rid of you and meWe got the kingdom, we got the key
We got the empire, now as thenWe don't doubt, we don't take directionLucretia, my reflectionDance the ghost with me
We look hardWe look throughWe look hard to see for realSuch things I hear, they don't make senseI don't see much evidenceI don't feel, I don't feelBut I don't feel
A long train held up by page on pageA hard reign held up by rageOnce a railroadNow it's done
I hear the roar of the big machineTwo worlds and in betweenHot metal and methedrineI hear your empire down
We got the empire, now as thenWe don't doubt, we don't take reflectionLucretia, my directionDance the ghost with me

Touch, touchI remember touchTouch, touchI remember touchWhere do I belong?Touch, I need something moreI remember touchI need something more in my mind

David Bowie - Blackstar (Video)


In the villa of Ormen, in the villa of Ormen
Stands a solitary candle, ah-ah, ah-ah
In the centre of it all, in the centre of it all
Your eyes

On the day of execution, on the day of execution
Only women kneel and smile, ah-ah, ah-ah
At the centre of it all, at the centre of it all
Your eyes, your eyes

Ah-ah-ah

Ah-ah-ah

In the villa of Ormen, in the villa of Ormen
Stands a solitary candle, ah-ah, ah-ah
At the centre of it all, at the centre of it all
Your eyes, your eyes
Ah-ah-ah

Something happened on the day he died
Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside
Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried
"I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar."

How many times does an angel fall?
How many people lie instead of talking tall?
He trod on sacred ground, he cried loud into the crowd
"I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar, I'm not a gang star."

I can't answer why (I'm a blackstar)
Just go with me (I'm not a film star)
I'mma take you home (I'm a blackstar)
Take your passport and shoes (I'm not a pop star)
And your sedatives, boo (I'm a blackstar)
You're the flash in the pan (I'm not a marvel star)
I'm the great I am (I'm a blackstar)

I'm a blackstar, way up, on money, I've got game
I see right, so wide, so open-hearted pain
I want eagles in my daydreams, diamonds in my eyes
(I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar)

Something happened on the day he died
Spirit rose a metre then stepped aside
Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried
"I'm a blackstar, I'm a star's star, I'm a blackstar."

I can't answer why (I'm not a gangstar)
But I can tell you how (I'm not a flam star)
We were born upside-down (I'm a star's star)
Born the wrong way 'round (I'm not a white star, I'm a blackstar)
Ooh-ooh-ooh (I'm not a gangstar, I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar)
Ooh-ooh-ooh (I'm not a porn star, I'm not a wandering star)
Ooh-ooh-ooh (I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar)

In the villa of Ormen, stands a solitary candle
Ah-ah, ah-ah
At the centre of it all, your eyes
On the day of execution, only women kneel and smile
Ah-ah, ah-ah
At the centre of it all, your eyes
(Your eyes, ah-ah-ah)
