A United Nations Security Council meeting on the current situation in Venezuela has just begun. The agenda for the emergency meeting is listed as discussing "threats to international peace and security". At the emergency session of the UN's Security Council, under-secretary general Rosemary DiCarlo has read out a statement on behalf of Secretary General António Guterres. Guterres says that he is "deeply concerned that rules of international law have not been respected" when it comes to the US's actions in Venezuela. A couple of dozen protesters have gathered outside the court as we get closer to the hearing for Maduro and his wife.
