Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC News Channel HDLatest broadcast: on BBC News

Stephen Sackur speaks to Philippines senator Antonio 'Sonny' Trillanes. When it comes to populist politics delivered with robust action, no-one does it quite like Rodrigo Duterte, elected president of the Philippines a year ago. Since he came to power, around 7,000 people have been killed in his war on drugs crime. Human rights groups are aghast, but a majority of Filipinos seem to admire his iron fist policy. Is President Duterte taking the Philippines and the region in a new direction? Show less
