6. Veckans nyheter och fördjupning om våldet i Mexiko

I veckans avnsitt diskuterar vi nyheter från veckan. Vi går igenom valresultatet i Chile, tjänsteresan till Taiwan av panamanska diplomater, fängslandet av en ecuadoriansk knarkkung, det senaste från Venezuela och relationen till USA samt skandalen om att Nestle påstås ha socker i barnmat i Latinamerika. Vi diskuterar också mer djupgående det eskalerande våldet i Mexiko.
