The Voting has been going very smoothly so far as the government has said that over 11 million Venezuelans already voted, although 19 million who are registered. A little while ago, I went to a polling station where the queues were rather short, and the atmosphere very calm. Several people said there were much smaller crowed out to vote compared to the last presidential election in October. There have been no major incidents reported, and the international observers have also been seen there. It's all being calm.
The US Secretary of State John Kerry who's been holding talks in the Japanese capital Tokyo, has said America stands firmly behind Japan in the face of North Korea's threats. There is growing speculation that Pyongyang may carry out a missile test on Monday. Mr Kerry said the US will do what was necessary to bring peace to the region.
We are committed to take action together. We, Japan, the United States and other countries that I have met with in the last two days, are committed to make that goal of denuclearization a reality.
Mr Kerry also called on Pyongyang to return to negotiations, but the North Korean parliamentary leader Kim Jong Un said his country needed to increase its nuclear force.
