Government official vows to win war against drug gangs

Government official vows to win war against drug gangs.

The president of Ecuador, Daniel Noboa, has said that his country is at a state of war after the deadly attacks, kidnappings and prison riots that shocked the country in the past few days. The government says the violence is a reaction to the president's plan to build a new high security prison for gang leaders. We hear from Esteban Torres Cobo, a vice-minister in the government. 

Also on the programme: the daughter of the Nigerian megachurch leader TB Joshua tells us how she too became of a victim of his abuse; and the Oregon school teacher who found the panel that blew off an Alaska Airlines planes in his back garden.
