日本明仁天皇在东京皇宫举行的仪式上正式退位，他是日本两个多世纪以来首个提前退位的皇帝。明仁天皇以日本君主的身份做了最后一次演讲，感谢国家的支持。以下是劳拉•贝克的详细报道。

Eighty-five-year-old Emperor Akihito redefined what it meant to be a monarch in Japan. In the past, emperors were seen as gods among men, but Akihito knelt beside those suffering from disease and disaster after earthquakes and tsunamis hit the country. He married a commoner, the first emperor to do so, and he was given permission to abdicate after saying he felt unable to fulfill his role because of his age and declining health. In his final speech, he wished Japan and the world peace and said he was deeply grateful for the people who had accepted him as a symbol. His son, the Crown Prince, Naruhito will ascend the throne on Wednesday.

Venezuela's opposition leader Juan Guaido has called on the country's military to back him and end, as he put it, President Nicolas Maduro's usurpation. In a video, Mr. Guaido urged Venezuelans to initiate the last phase of Operation Freedom.

But the Venezuelan government has said that it's confronting what it called a coup attempt.
