BBC World Service - Newshour, Venezuelan humanitarian aid met with gunfire and tear gas at border

Venezuelan troops shoot at opposition activists bringing aid at the Colombian border.

Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

The Venezuelan opposition has so far failed to transport humanitarian aid into the country from Colombia and Brazil amid clashes with the security forces. We hear from people on the ground.  

Also in the programme: Millions of Nigerians vote in delayed presidential and parliamentary elections.  And remembering Stanley Donen, the last of the great directors of Hollywood's Golden Age.
