NEWS INTRO VIDEO

----------------------------

Venezuelan opposition leader Juan Guaidó has vowed at a rally in the capital Caracas to ensure humanitarian aid blocked by President Nicolás Maduro is brought in to the country. Guaidó said new collection points and routes into the country would allow volunteers to bring the aid in. Maduro told news sources that he would not allow aid in, claiming it was a means for the US to intervene in Venezuela. Venezuelans are facing drastic food shortages amid an economic crisis.

In other news,

A scientific review of insect numbers suggests that 40% of species are undergoing "dramatic rates of decline" around the world. The study says that bees, ants and beetles are disappearing eight times faster than mammals, birds or reptiles. But researchers say that some species, such as houseflies and cockroaches, are likely to boom. The general insect decline is being caused by intensive agriculture, pesticides and climate change.

 

On this day in 1633, Italian philosopher, astronomer and mathematician Galileo Galileo faced charges of heresy for advocating Copernican theory, which holds that the Earth revolves around the Sun. Galileo officially faced the Roman Inquisition in April of that same year and agreed to plead guilty in exchange for a lighter sentence.
