Maduro urges 'peaceful' opposition vote in Venezuela
Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro on Saturday urged citizens taking part in a vote organized by the opposition the next day to do so "peacefully," as concerns simmered of worsening political violence. Sunday's polls are meant to gauge public support for Maduro's plan to rewrite the constitution by electing a citizens' body on July 30.
