00:00Venezuela's opposition says it had voting tally proof it won the election, claimed by
00:05President Nicolás Maduro, as anti-government protests erupt across the country, with police
00:11firing tear gas to disperse protesters in the capital, Caracas.
00:15Maduro and his opposition rival, Edmundo González, were each claiming victory in the presidential
00:20election on Monday morning, July 29, after an election marked by accusations of underhanded
00:25tactics and isolated incidents of violence.
00:29Many staged cacerolazo demonstrations across the country, a traditional Latin American
00:34protest in which people bang pots and pans.
00:38Venezuela's electoral authorities said Maduro had won a third term with 51 percent of the
00:42vote, despite multiple exit polls which pointed to an opposition win.
