BBC World Service - Weekend, Opposing demonstrations in Venezuela

A day of rival demonstrations in Venezuela; Nigeria's governorship elections

Rival demonstrations have been held in Venezuela by supporters of President Nicolas Maduro and the opposition leader trying to force him from power, Juan Guaido.

Nigeria's governorship elections, we hear why it matters.

Also, thirty years after the breakup of Yugoslavia, how distinct are the various languages that have supposedly developed in the successor states?

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Diane Roberts, Professor of Creative Writing at Florida State University, and, and George Parker, political editor of the London based Financial Times newspaper.
