Political unrest in Algeria continues

BBC World Service - Weekend, Political unrest in Algeria continues

Calls for the departure of President Bouteflika of Algeria; Venezuela's leadership cult

Calls for Algeria's ailing President Abdelaziz Bouteflika to stand down grow louder.

Also, is Venezuela in danger of replacing one messiah figure with another?

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Celia Szusterman, Director of the Latin American Programme at the Institute for Statecraft, and the author and journalist, Alex Perry.
