BBC World Service - BBC OS, Colombia ex-Farc rebel issues call to arms

An ex-commander in the Farc rebel group, Iván Márquez, orders followers to take up arms.

A former commander in the Farc rebel group in Colombia, Iván Márquez, appeared in a video in military fatigues and carrying a gun. He has called on his followers to take up arms less than three years after the rebels signed a peace agreement with the government. 

Also in the show, we will hear about the latest attempts to block the suspension of the UK parliament announced by the UK Prime Minister on Wednesday. 

And, we hear from women working in the gaming industry who have been sharing their experiences of harassment by men on social media.
