BBC World Service - Newshour, The Challenges Facing Colombia's New President

A shaky FARC peace deal, violent drug cartels and Venezuela tensions will test Duque

A shaky FARC peace deal, violent drug cartels, and tensions with Venezuela will test Ivan Duque. At 42-years-old he will be Colombia's youngest ever president, having served as a senator only since 2014. So how will he handle the domestic and international challenges of the job?


Also on the programme: the man fighting fire from the air; and an IS hostage returns to Syria to see where he was held.
