Newsday

Available for 29 days

In Colombia, Mr Cepeda wants to build on the current administration's strategy of negotiating with armed groups. Mr De la Espriella, by contrast, wants a tough military crackdown, and has proposed building mega-prisons in the jungle. As the conflict continues in Lebanon with Israel committing its deepest incursion into Lebanese territory in 20 years - could we be on the cusp of a deal that would get the ceasefire back on track... we'll speak to a Lebanese expert. From cafes and gyms to supermarkets and restaurants, content creators and influencers are moving into everyday spaces - but are they becoming too intrusive?
