Canada seeks compensation from Iran in downing of jet; Coronavirus cases fall in China

Canada's foreign minister tells us of his efforts in trying to get compensation from Iran for its attack on a Ukrainian passenger jet.

Also in the programme: The number of new cases of the Coronavirus in central China is beginning to fall, so, has the outbreak now peaked?

And Colombia's FARC guerrillas... who worry that war was safer than peace.

Joining Anna Holligan to discuss these and other issues are Celia Szusterman, director of the Latin American Programme at the Institute for Statecraft here in London, and Nick Grono, chief executive of the Freedom Fund, a global charity that campaigns to eradicate modern day slavery.
