Venezuelans vote to claim Guyana-controlled region of Essequibo
Venezuelans have voted in a largely symbolic referendum to approve the takeover of the oil-rich region of Essequibo in neighbouring Guyana. The status of the region has been a source of tension between the countries for decades. Guyana has the world's biggest reserves of crude per capita, while Venezuela sits on the largest proven reserves overall. Claire Herriot reports
