Venezuela election date set
Venezuela will hold a presidential election on April 14 as acting President Nicolas Maduro, the successor to Hugo Chavez, tries to win his own term in office.
President Hugo Chavez's final act goes on and on
More than two million Venezuelans have filed past the open casket of their dead president Hugo Chavez in the last two days.
Such is the demand to pay tribute that plans for a burial have been eschewed in favour of a simple ceremony, and the announcement that Chavez's body will be displayed permanently.
