Images shared with CBS News, the BBC's US partner, show the aftermath of US air strikes on Saturday at Fuerte Tiuna, a key military facility in Caracas. US Attorney General Pam Bondi yesterday outlined the charges brought against the Venezuelan President and his wife Cilia Flores. He also called Maduro an "illegitimate dictator", adding that he had asked the Venezuelan leader to "surrender" a week before the strikes. But she adds there is also frustration that Trump "dissed" opposition leader Machado by claiming she is not popular. Neumann tells the BBC she doesn't necessarily believe the new interim president, Delcy Rodríguez, is an improvement.
