This isn't the first time we've started the show reporting on a crisis in Venezuela, but it is the first time we've told you that someone besides the president has declared himself the acting leader of the country.

The South American nations been struggling for years.

The Venezuela is officially a federal presidential republic, which is considered a type of democracy.

It's executive branch has become increasingly authoritarian since Hugo Chavez served as president from 1999 to 2013 he steered Venezuela towards socialism, and his policies were continued by his hand picked successor, President Nicolas Maduro.

One of the government's biggest problems is its economy.

It's heavily dependent on oil sales and it has crumbled.

Oil prices have fallen, the nation's oil wealth was wasted and people have suffered.

Millions have moved to other countries in search of basic necessities like food and medicine.

President Maduro was sworn in for a second term earlier this month, but political groups that oppose him boycotted the election and said it wasn't free and fair.

Maduro said there is a permanent campaign of lies about him and the late President Chavez, and that Venezuela is a real democracy with a truly Democratic president.

But most other countries in the Americas recently voted not to recognize his government, and on Wednesday the leader of Venezuela's National Assembly, it's legislative Branch, declared himself to be Venezuela's new interim or temporary president.

Shortly afterward, U S President Donald Trump said he'd officially recognize one.

So did the leaders of several other countries in the Americas.

President Maduro said his nation's opposition is attempting a coup and announced he would end diplomatic ties with the United States.

Venezuela's Nicolas Maduro started his controversial second term in an elaborate ceremony this month, promising to build socialism in the 21st century.

For the country's opposition, this moment marked an unprecedented power grab.

Venezuela has a defacto government for the first time since 1958.

It's a government which was not elected with sovereignty.

Madura kidnapped estate for his own benefit.

The head of the National Assembly, Juan Way, though, said he would be ready to take over as president a statement that led Venezuela's pro government Supreme Court to nullify the body's power Still, the opposition appears emboldened in a fight to unseat Venezuela's president.

A man claiming to be a military sergeant called on Venezuelans to support an uprising.

People of Venezuela, we need your support, you said in a video posted to social media this week.

He and a group of soldiers were detained, but the message of resistance spread.

Protests in the capital turned violent officials using tear gas to break up the crowd.

Those demonstrations, perhaps a preview of mass marches called by the opposition, which received a ringing endorsement from the US We say to all the good people I've been this way, yes, Thomas Kano status.

We stand with you and we will stay with you until democracy is restored.

S vice president's message receiving an angry rebuke from the Venezuelan president, who said Pence was openly calling for a coupe and from others in Maduro's camp incensed by America show of support to the opposition Yankee go home.

Maduro's government has long blamed the US first stoking anger inside Venezuela and for sanctions which they claim have damaged the economy.

But critics point to corruption and failed policies for the difficulties.

Venezuelans face an astronomical inflation rate, chronic shortages of food and medicine and a mass exodus since 2015 of millions looking for more stable conditions once oil rich country now in crisis, its citizens desperate for change.

S Senate votes Thursday on two bills concerning the partial shutdown of the U.

The bill that supported by Republicans would provide the funding for a border wall between the US and Mexico and allow some people who were in the U.

S illegally to stay for three years without the threat of being deported.

The bill that supported by Democrats would fund the government through February 8th but not include the money for the wall.

Both bills would end the partial government shutdown, but neither is expected to get the 60 votes needed to pass.

Still, analysts say the Senate debates could be a step toward ending the deadlock in the government.

It's directly affected 800,000 federal workers who could miss a second paycheck on Friday, though they will be paid when the shutdown ends.

It's also led to doubt about the timing and location of president Trump's State of the Union message, which is scheduled for next Tuesday.

Which of these leaders held power in the 14th century BC King David Alexander, the great Emperor Augustus or King Tutankhamen?

Of these leaders, King Tut is the oldest, having rain from around 13 33 to 13.

About 5000 artifacts have been recovered from King Tuts Tomb since it was discovered in Egypt's Valley of the Kings in 1922.

But that tomb and everything in it barely scratches the surface of the nation's ancient history.

So a museum appropriately titled the Grand Museum gives a new home to some of Egypt's most precious relics.

The location overlooks the pyramids of Giza, not far from the capital of Cairo.

Restoring antiquities is pain staking work, especially when its king tuts 3500 year old chariots.

Conservationists spend months on minute details, repairing and preparing the artifacts for display.

No outside 5000 construction workers labor around the clock, a race for everyone to open the museum by the end of the year.

Tarek Tofik oversees the more than $1 billion project.

Once completed, it will be the largest museum in the world devoted to a single civilization from Middle Kingdom.

50,000 artifacts will guide visitors through the rise and fall of ancient Egypt.

But the main attraction, of course, will be the complete collection of King Tuts Tomb.

With all his treasures on display, someone will be actually the one who will take the visitor back in history 3500 years To show how a royal court in ancient Egypt in the 18th Dynasty, three and 1/2 1000 years ago would look like as the artifacts moved to their new home, Egypt invests in its future by preserving its heritage and showcasing the magnificence of its past.

Who would have thought that being on thin ice could be so mesmerizing?

Yes, upon this is a lake in Norway, and what you hear is the sound it makes when someone skates on thin black ice.
