An extraordinary US military raid has stunned the world with US President Donald Trump ordering military strikes on Venezuela and the capture of the country’s president Nicolas Maduro.
The operation was planned and rehearsed for months, but carried out in just a few hours.
Maduro has been moved to a New York detention centre awaiting trial on drugs and weapons charges.
There’s been shock and condemnation from around the world, but on the streets of Caracas, some Venezuelans are celebrating the end of the Maduro regime.
