Venezuela's vice president has declared 7 days of mourning for Hugo Chavez, who died yesterday in Caracas. The leaders of other Latin American countries are arriving already to pay their respects. During surgery and chemotherapy treatments in Cuba, Chavez hadn't been seen in public for months. And the nature of his cancer has not been revealed. Nathan Crooks is Caracas Bureau Chief for Bloomberg News. Also, with the votes still being counted after Monday's presidential election, Kenya is a nation on edge. Will the new leader be a man indicted for crimes against humanity?
