Also in this podcast, how does it all feel inside Venezuela?

There are lots of armed people that have been given weapons.
We'll hear from a woman in the capital, Caracas.
The Venezuelan leader,
Nicolas Maduro and his wife are now in the US after their capture by American special forces in Caracas.
Several dozen people who appeared to be law enforcement officers led a figure dressed in grey from a plane across the tarmac of New York's Stuart Air National Guard Base.
Earlier,
Donald Trump had posted a picture which showed Nicholas Maduro after being captured by the US.
He was wearing a grey tracksuit, his hands tied, his eyes blindfolded.
Among the journalists watching his arrival in New York was our correspondent, Neda Taufik.
Despite the extraordinary circumstances of all of this,
he will be treated just as any other criminal defendant of high profile has been treated in New York.
He will be taken by law enforcement to be processed and booked.
to be fingerprinted to have his mug shot taken to finally then go to the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn.
There he and his wife are expected to be put into a special part of the jail away from the regular population.
