Today, the seized president of Venezuela, Nicolas Maduro has appeared in a New York court charged with narco-terrorism. As Maduro pled not guilty he told the court he was a “decent man” and “still the president of his country”.
The highly televised spectacle of the Venezuelan leader being transferred to the court came as the UN security council held an emergency meeting across the city, and US President Donald Trump reiterated his interest in annexing Greenland in the name of American national security.
Adam is joined by chief international correspondent Lyse Doucet, BBC News chief presenter Caitríona Perry, and Vanessa Buschschluter, BBC Online’s Latin America and Caribbean editor.
