Venezuela Stand-off Continues

BBC World Service - Weekend, Venezuela Stand-off Continues

Venezuela stand-off continues; elections in Nigeria; new Holocaust museum in Hungary

As the stand-off in Venezuela continues, we hear from a supporter of Nicolas Maduro.

Also, we go live to Nigeria for the latest on the general election due to be held today after being postponed by a week.

And Hungary's new museum designed to teach young people about the fate of Hungarian Jews in the second world war.

To discuss these and other issues, Julian Worricker is joined by Myriam Francois, Franco-British writer, journalist and film-maker based in London and Sir Venki Ramakrishnan, American-British molecular biologist born in India.
