Amid US State Secretary Mike Pompeo’s rebuke of the “deteriorating situation” in Venezuela and the days-long crippling blackout affecting more than 80 percent of the country, the US has recalled all diplomatic personnel from Venezuela. RT America’s Rachel Blevins has the details for News.Views. Hughes. Then RT America’s Sara Montes de Oca reports on Tarek William Saab’s investigation into opposition leader Juan Guaido over suspicions that he was involved in the power grid attack that the Maduro government says is behind the blackout. Finally, journalist Lucas Koerner joins Scottie Nell Hughes live from Venezuela to report the latest on the blackout. The government says that the return of running water in Caracas is imminent but much remains to be done to restore electricity and water throughout the country. Koerner reports that despite US allegations, looting has been mostly sporadic and isolated while calm and displays of solidarity prevail.
