BBC World Service - Weekend, Venezuelan Unrest Continues

We hear from an anti-Maduro protestor in Caracas

We hear from an anti-Maduro protestor in Caracas.

The opposition in Venezuela is gearing up for another day of demonstrations against President Nicolas Maduro. We hear from one of opposition leader Juan Guaido's supporters. Also on the programme: the civil war in Yemen between the Iran-backed Houthi rebels and the Saudi-backed government has raged since 2014, but there is also another war going on there: the US's fight against al-Qaeda. We get a rare glimpse of that. And we also meet the people showing how LGBT history can be told via the collections of some of the most popular museums in the world.
