Controversial Referendum in Venezuela

President Maduro puts plans for a constituent assembly to the vote.

Venezuelans go to the polls in a deeply divisive election for a new constituent assembly. The opposition are boycotting the poll, saying the whole process is just a means for President Maduro to maintain his grip on power. More than one hundred Venezuelans have been killed during four months of unrest.
