Venezuela on alert for US 'invasion'

BBC World Service - Weekend, Venezuela on alert for US 'invasion'

Venezuela deploys soldiers in preparation for US invasion; caring for birds in India

Venezuela deploys soldiers and civilian militias around the country in an exercise it says is preparation for an invasion by the United States.

Also in the programme: We'll hear from two men in the Indian capital, Delhi, who've devoted their lives to the care of birds of prey wounded by flying kites.

Joining Anna Holligan to discuss these and other issues are Celia Szusterman, director of the Latin American Programme at the Institute for Statecraft here in London, and Nick Grono, chief executive of the Freedom Fund, a global charity that campaigns to eradicate modern day slavery.
