BBC World Service - Weekend, The Venezuela Crisis

US appoints envoy to Caracas; Aborigines and Australia Day

The United States appoints an envoy to deal with the political crisis in Venezuela.

And as Australians mark their National Day, we'll hear why many Aborigines still can't bear to celebrate what they see as an invasion of their country.

Julian Worricker is joined to discuss issues in the news by Jenny Kleeman, a British journalist and documentary film-maker, and Ian Johnson, a Canadian-American writer and journalist based in China.
