The US navy has amassed a huge fleet off the Venezuelan coast since September, carried out airstrikes against alleged drug trafficking boats in the Caribbean and the Pacific and seized Venezuelan oil tankers.The GuardianThe ousted Venezuelan leader and the former first lady are now in a New York jail, facing drug and weapons charges to which they pleaded not guilty during a first court appearance. President Donald Trump has said the US now “runs” the oil-rich South American country and Maduro’s vice president was sworn in as acting president.CNNVenezuela is home to the largest proven oil reserve on Earth, with an estimated 300 billion barrels lying beneath the surface.Venezuela's oil production has been hit in recent decades by disinvestment and mismanagement - as well as US sanctions. At roughly one million barrels per day, the country accounts for less than 1% of global supply.BBCA lot of questions remain to be answered following the unprecedented ouster of the Venezuelan leader. For Venezuelans, both inside the country and abroad, it's been a mix of emotions and a sense of uncertainty over what comes next.CNNMany countries expressed outrage over the capture of Maduro, while even some U.S. allies issued statements calling for the rule of law to be respected.TimeDespite Trump's statements that the US will decide the fate of the country, the Venezuelan military appears to be in control of the country and its military assets.What is clear is that the US is determined to play a large role in Venezuela, through the use of military force or otherwise.The Guardian

這是一個 bonus update 額外更新 🌟完整解說在 N06 Hong Kong Fire 🔥 香港大火https://vocus.cc/article/6932e3f2fd8978000119c5dbHow did Hong Kong's massive housing estate fire turn so deadly?A deadly inferno tore through a massive housing complex in Hong Kong last week, killing at least 128 people with many more still missing, in the city’s worst disaster in decades. (CNN)The death toll has been rising each day, as officials work to recover and identify bodies. (BBC)The fire started at Wang Fuk Court, a housing estate in Hong Kong's Tai Po district.The complex, built in 1983, consists of eight high-rise buildings with a total of 1,984 flats.Property records show that Wang Fuk Court has been undergoing major renovation work, costing about $42.43m. (Al Jazeera)Preliminary investigations showed the fire started last Wednesday afternoon on a lower-level scaffolding net of one of the buildings, and then spread rapidly inside as the foam panels caught fire and blew out windows, according to Chris Tang, Hong Kong's secretary for security.Winds helped the flames jump from building to building and soon seven of the eight were engulfed. It took until Friday morning, some 40 hours later, for more than 2,000 firefighters to finally extinguish all the flames. (AP)The exact cause of the fire is not yet known, but a criminal investigation has been launched. (CNN)The eight buildings of the Wang Fuk Court complex in the suburb of Tai Po had all been clad in bamboo scaffolding draped with nylon netting for renovations, with windows covered by polystyrene panels, and authorities are now investigating whether fire codes were violated. (AP)Three days of national mourning started on Saturday, and thousands have gathered at the scene to mourn the victims.There have been queues stretching as long as 2km, as people wait to lay flowers and handwritten notes. (BBC)The apartment blocks were home to more than 4,000 people, according to census data, and those that escaped must now try to get their lives back on track.
