Venezuela opposition says petition to oust Maduro is validated

Venezuelan opposition leaders say they have validated enough signatures on a petition to move to the next stage in a process to remove President Nicolas Maduro in a recall referendum.

Hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans have given fingerprints to authenticate signatures on the petition.

Referendum co-ordinator Vicente Bello said the number of signatures had "clearly exceeded the minimum needed".

The process must now be validated by electoral officials.
