Turkey Takes Action in Syria
Turkish tanks roll into Syria as Ankara tackles a host of problems. Colombia takes a huge stride towards peace. And why the world loves a Bake-off.
Turkish tanks rolled into Syria on the very day that US Vice-President Joe Biden arrived. Many Turks saw the visit as a somewhat belated sign of continued American support after a failed coup. Our correspondent Mark Lowen talks about the problems facing Ankara.
An Indian actress-turned-politician sparks a row by praising Pakistan. How deeply ingrained are attitudes on both sides of the border?
Colombians celebrate the prospects for peace after a deal to end a conflict that has cost more than 200,000 lives over the past five decades. 麻豆社 Mundo's editor, himself a Colombian, addresses the hopes and fears.
