Authorities in Venezuela have been trying their hardest to take control of and put down protest and revolt in the city of San Cristobal.

Three times since last weekend the countries Guarda de Nacional (National Guard) and local police have tried to put down the situation but have failed.

This video is from yesterday as the police tried in earnest again a third time to recapture the town, firing live ammo and tear-gas into the town.

Last night, the national guard made a hard push for the city, taking the local radio station and ultimately burning it down.

These charred remains are all that are left of radio station 106.5FM in San Cristobal.
