MZIMU WA HUGO CHAVES KWA WAVENEZUELA

Cannon fire resonates every afternoon in the working class neighbourhood of 23 de Enero in north-west Caracas.

The fire comes from the military headquarters where Hugo Chavez's remains lie: It marks the time of his death - 16:25 on 5 March.

A few metres from the headquarters there is a new chapel. Named after the neighbourhood where it stands, Saint Hugo Chavez del 23 is a tiny wooden shack.

People come to leave flowers and messages in front of a large poster of the former president, which hangs below the chapel's cross.

It is too early to come out of Mr Chavez's shadow”

CHINA'S GUAN TIANLANG, 14, SETS GOLF RECORD

Teenager Guan Tianlang was penalised for slow play at Augusta, but his overall score of four over was still enough to see him become the youngest golfer to make the cut at a major. 

Guan, 14, was given the one-stroke penalty after making par on the 17th, having earlier been warned for slow play during the Masters second round.

The Chinese player said: "I respect the decision. This is what they can do."

"Tianlang Guan's punishment is very unusual. Outside of the majors on the PGA Tour, it was last seen in 1995 with Glen Day at the Honda Classic.

KERRY IN CHINA AMID N KOREA TENSIONS

US Secretary of State John Kerry is in China, for a visit he has said he will use to urge Beijing to use its influence to rein in North Korea.

Mr Kerry's four-day tour of Asia comes amid speculation that North Korea is preparing for a missile launch.

In South Korea on Friday, he said that a policy of denuclearisation shared by the US and China had to have "teeth".

The US says there is no evidence North Korea can fire a nuclear warhead as suggested by a leaked US report.

North Korea has reportedly moved at least two Musudan ballistic missiles to its east coast.

A flurry of warlike statements from Pyongyang has prompted speculation that it might launch a missile - possibly on 15 April, when the country marks the 101st birthday of the nation's founder and former leader, Kim Il-sung.
