Venezuela MPs fight in parliament over election dispute

Metanews: A number of Venezuelan MPs have been injured after a fight broke out in the country's National Assembly over an election dispute. The opposition said seven of its members were left injured after protesting against a measure to block them from speaking until they recognised President Nicolas Maduro's recent election victory. Both sides blamed each for starting the scuffle, which illustrates the volatile state of politics in the nation following the death of Hugo Chavez.
