BBC World Service - BBC OS, 'The mother of all marches'

Reports from Caracas as Venezuela's opposition supporters march against President Maduro

After a fortnight of violent demonstrations in Venezuela, the opposition describes today's protests in the capital Caracas as the 'mother of all marches' - accusing President Maduro of resorting to dictatorial measures to quash popular outrage over the country's deepening economic crisis. We hear from people at the march and from correspondents.

Also on the programme: a court ruling in India involving three veteran BJP leaders due to face trial; the latest on the suicide of Aaron Hernandez, the former New England Patriots NFL player serving a life sentence for murder; and are E-sports really a sport?
