What it was like in the courtroom at Maduro’s hearing

Nicolas Maduro, former president of Venezuela, made his first court appearance in New York City after his capture by US forces in Caracas on 3 January.

Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, appeared in handcuffs and leg shackles before a judge. They are due to stand trial for charges including narcoterrorism. Both entered not guilty pleas.

The BBC’s Madeline Halpert was inside the courtroom as the former president addressed the judge.
