In Venezuela there's growing condemnation of President Maduro's refusal to allow aid shipments into the country. The country's suffering a severe economic crisis with many people struggling to find enough food and access essential medicines. Brazil and Colombia have criticised the government and called on more countries to support the self-declared interim president, Juan Guiado.
