News Wrap: Venezuela blackout continues

Season 2019 Episode 78 | 4m 01s

In our Monday news wrap, schools and businesses across Venezuela were forced to close again, as much of the country remained blacked out. The explosion of a Caracas power station added to the misery for people who have been living without electricity since Thursday. Also, British Prime Minister Theresa May traveled to France to seek concessions from the EU, in a bid to save her Brexit plan.
