Venezuela's Maduro appears in New York court as case proceeds

Nicolás Maduro, the Venezuelan president, has made a second appearance at a courthouse in New York. A U.S. court has refused to halt the case against him and his wife, which involves charges of 'narco-terrorism'.

The court is proceeding with the case, though some reports note this has raised concerns about whether a fair trial is possible. The appearance follows an earlier one in January.
