What Colombia’s earthquake means for its fight against rebels and gangs | Global News Podcast
Rescue workers in Colombia are still searching for survivors after one of the worst earthquakes to hit the country in years. More than 200 people are confirmed dead, and hundreds more are injured.
One of the worst-affected cities is Cali which, just last week, hosted the inauguration of newly-elected President Abelardo de la Espriella.
A right-wing populist who was endorsed by US President Donald Trump, Mr de la Espriella has promised to crack down on the drug gangs and armed rebel groups – including the National Liberation Army (ELN) and dissident factions of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc). It appears those priorities will now be delayed while the new government responds to the earthquake.
We speak to BBC Mundo’s William Marquez, who is Colombian, about the scale of the devastation, and how the country’s ongoing issues with violence could complicate the disaster response.

Across the world fuel prices are hitting record highs – as the US war with Iran continues beyond its seventh month.
In the UK, energy bills continue to rise – inflation in Germany has hit its highest level in almost three years – and last month the US federal reserve raised the cost of borrowing for the first time in more than three years. The crunch is real – and being felt everywhere.
During this special programme presented by Maryam Moshiri we take a global perspective – with our global teams we hear about the impact – from Asia to Africa and explain what is being done, and what you as a consumer can do too.
