Colombia's Farc Rebels Launch Political Party

Available for over a year

Colombia's Farc rebel group has formally relaunched itself as a political party. The guerrilla fighters signed an historic ceasefire with the Colombian government last year to end 50 years of violence. Natalio Cosoy reports from Bogota. Also on the programme, the BBC's Rahul Tandon assesses what impact the Indian government's controversial "demonetisation" policy has had on the country's economy. Do film festivals actually boost the film industry? We hear from one of the World's smaller ones on the Scottish islands of Shetland. And, as the Caledonian sleeper train gets a multi-million pound revamp, what is it that gets people so misty-eyed about train travel? Railway historian Tim Dunn joins us. Roger Hearing is joined from Seoul by Jasper Kim, chief executive of the Asia-Pacific Global Research Group, financial reform advocate Alexis Goldstein in Washington DC, and the BBC's Phil Mercer in Sydney.
