He was a boxer, a bouncer and a bungee jump coach - now he is prime minister of Canada. Mark Coles profiles Justin Trudeau.

He's been a boxer, a bouncer and a bungee jumping coach. Now he's the Prime Minister of Canada. Justin Trudeau is going back to his childhood home, 24 Sussex Drive, the PM's residence in Ottawa. His father, Pierre Trudeau, was a previous resident. Justin Trudeau is young and charismatic. He might even be the world's first tattooed national leader. But who is he? What does he stand for? And can he live up to his famous name?

Presenter: Mark Coles
Producers: Charlotte Pritchard and David Rhodes.
