Protests continue in Colombia

BBC World Service - Weekend, Protests continue in Colombia

Protests in Colombia, despite a curfew; Hong Kong goes to the polls after recent tensions

Relentless pot-banging, defiance of a curfew, a protest in front of the president’s house and looting on marked day three of massive anti-government demonstrations in Colombia.

Also in the programme:  Voters in Hong Kong are casting their ballots in a district council election seen as a test of support for the territory's beleaguered chief executive, Carrie Lam.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Maya Goodfellow, a British writer and researcher specialising in race and immigration; and Oliver Bullough, a British writer, journalist and former correspondent in Russia.
