BBC World Service - BBC OS, Colombia: Dozens killed in anti-government protests

We speak to protesters in the country about what they want to see change

We speak to protesters in the country about what they want to see change.

Dozens of people have been killed during anti-government protests in Colombia. The demonstrations started on April 28th and were initially against a tax reform. That tax reform has been withdrawn but the protests have continued against the government. We hear from protesters and get the latest from our Latin America editor.

Also, the exchange of fire between Palestinian militants in the Gaza Strip and the Israeli military has escalated significantly. We discuss the international reaction with our correspondents.

And our regular health expert today responds to the latest developments about Covid-19.
