This week Venezuela's election council announced that an audit of the results of the country's presidential election confirmed that Nicolas Maduro won by 1.5 percentage points over Henrique Capriles in the country's presidential election in April. Maduro's supporters hope that this confirmation will put any doubts about the legitimacy of his win to rest, as the country suffers from a shortage of foods and some basic goods. On Sunday, Maduro halted a plan to restrict the sale of 20 basic food items in the state of Zulia calling it 'insane'. Instead he said the best way to counter the shortage is to 'produce, produce, produce'. So, will President Maduro succeed in sorting out Venezuela's economy and put an end to the food shortages?

On Saturday, the Guardian reported from a secret directive that US President Barack Obama has ordered his senior national security and intelligence officials to draw up a list of potential overseas targets for US cyber attacks. "With respect to the internet and emails, this does not apply to US citizens, and it does not apply to people living in the United States,” Obama said on Friday. His comments follow news that the National Security Agency (NSA) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) are tapping directly into the central servers of nine leading US internet companies to spy on foreigners. According to the Washington Post newspaper, even though US citizens were not the intended targets of surveillance, this has allowed investigators to examine emails, photos and other documents of tens of millions of Americans that can be used to track people and their contacts over time.We ask under what authority the US monitors the world's phone calls and internet usage. 2457013265001: 'Big Brother' Obama?
