A mini- victory for protesters as they continue their nightly demonstrations. Throwing rocks
and molotovs, they manage to set fire to this police water cannon, although it continues
to douse them with water.
This video was shot as the anger over Venezuela's government shows no sign of abating. More
clashes on the streets with police over the weekend.
This was in the Caracas neighbourhood of Chacao where government vehicles patrolled. And this
was on Monday where the violence continued.
The protests are aimed at President Nicolas Maduro who is being called on to resign. He
says protesters want a coup. The numbers for those who have died are conflicting. The government
claims it is 39 while the opposition reckons it is 28. More than 500 people have been injured
since the start of the protests in early February. Protesters are angry about high inflation,
shortage of food and one of the worst violent crime rates in the world.
