Protests in the Venezuelan capital of Caracas continued on for a second day on May 1. The continuing protests come after opposition leader Juan Guaidó failed to oust President Nicolás Maduro by raising a military coup the day before.<br /><br />US supported Guaidó took to the streets with thousands of supporters as they faced tear gas canisters being fired at them from government security forces. <br /><br />The aim was to reignite the momentum behind the drive to replace Maduro but the feeling after the military coup failed was that a pivotal moment had passed. <br /><br />Guaido has now called on his supporters to engage in a "gradual strike" which could build momentum into a general strike and eventually paralyse the country. <br /><br />The footage shows a barrage of rocks launching off a bridge as a group of motorcyclists drive under defending themselves with plastic shields.<br /><br />The filmer captures angry anti-Maduro activists jumping up and down on a huge metal fence in order to crush it to the ground. <br /><br />As police vehicles gather in a convoy the filmer captures protesters running out from under a bridge to throw rocks. <br /><br />Smoke or tear gas canisters litter the street and at one stage the filmer walks straight through a huge plume. <br /><br />Gunfire and shouts permeate this edited together series of clips as the activists take on Maduro's forces.
