In Venezuela, tens of thousands of protesters marched through Caracas Thursday to oppose a series of constitutional changes proposed by President Hugo Chavez. Venezuelans will vote on sixty-nine measures, including eliminating presidential term limits, creating forms of communal property, and cutting the work day from eight hours to six. Thursday’s demonstration was the biggest show of opposition to the constitutional overhaul so far.

Demonstrator: “This Sunday, we are going to give President Chavez a definitive 'no' so he doesn’t continue violating all of our rights and remaining in power, which is his only interest.”

Most surveys say the outcome of the Sunday vote is too close to call. Chavez plans to lead rallies in favor of the reforms later today. More on Venezuela later in the broadcast.
