Thousands of rival demonstrators have been protesting in South Korea's capital Seoul where the impeached president President Yoon Suk Yeol is refusing to hand himself in to investigators. Also on the programme: Venezuela's opposition leader, Edmundo Gonzalez, is touring South America ahead of the inauguration of Nicolas Maduro who he insists lost last year's presidential election; and we ask - after 15 months of war - is there anywhere in Gaza where Palestinians can still get medical treatment? And we'll hear the sound of a prison choir from Mississippi.

Also, what medical facilities are still functioning in Gaza after more than a year of war between Hamas and Israel.
And later, an award winning record producer revisits a prison in Mississippi where he previously recorded an album of the songs of the inmates Jesus Will Never Ever say no.
I returned to Parchman Prison because there had been such a strong positive response.
To their debut record.
The administration has made great improvements there at the prison.
The men were very proud of their success and we were granted more time together this time and many of them had prepared original songs.
And that report in full in about 15 minutes.
The South Korean capital Seoul was bitterly cold last night with heavy snow and it's not much warmer today.
But that hasn't stopped tens of thousands of protesters gathering on the streets of the city to show their support and opposition to President Yoon Suk Yeol.
He's currently suspended after being impeached for his botched attempt to declare martial law last month.
