Concern grows as Venezuela blocks international election observers


Panama's Foreign Ministry says a plane carrying four former Latin American presidents has not been allowed to take off, after their destinaton country - Venezuela - closed its airspace. The former Panamanian, Mexican, Costa Rican and Bolivian presidents were planning on observing Sunday's presidential election in Venezuela. Caracas however denies it prevented the former leaders from entering. President Nicolás Maduro is seeking a third six-year term in office and is facing his toughest electoral challenge in decades.
