Venezuela Gears Up For More Demonstrations

BBC World Service - Weekend, Venezuela Gears Up For More Demonstrations

Self declared Interim President Guaido calls for more protests against Nicolas Maduro

As Juan Guaido, the head of Venezuela's National Assembly and the man who has declared himself president calls for more protests against the sitting president Nicolas Maduro, we'll have all the latest updates on the on-going crisis from Orla Guerin in Caracas. 

Also on the programme, a profile of Benny Gantz, the former chief of Israel's military and the man who many think has the best chance of unseating Benjamin Netanyahu in that country's forthcoming elections. And we hear all about the problems of making jokes about Brexit, from a Brexit supporting comedian.
