Venezuela crisis: Maduro says 'fascist' coup foiled
Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro says security forces have foiled a plot to assassinate him and install a former defence minister as premier.
He said the "fascist" plot had involved opposition leader Juan Guaidó backed by the US, Colombia and Chile.
Guaidó denied the accusation, saying the media had "lost count" of how many such allegations had been made.
The president has intensified a crackdown on the opposition since Mr Guaidó led a failed uprising in April.
