Insight with Misha Glenny: McMafia
- Chaired by Paul Kenyon (BBC)
McMafia is a fearless, encompassing, wholly authoritative investigation of the now proven ability of organized crime worldwide to find and service markets driven by a seemingly insatiable demand for illegal wares. Whether discussing the Russian mafia, Colombian drug cartels, or Chinese labor smugglers, Misha Glenny makes clear how organized crime feeds off the poverty of the developing world, how it exploits new technology in the forms of cybercrime and identity theft, and how both global crime and terror are fueled by an identical source: the triumphant material affluence of the West.

Media Talk: Is This the End for FARC?

Can FARC survive the death of its leader? Recent months have seen a deterioration in the fortunes of the 44 year old insurgency movement - the death of Manuel Marulanda has coincided with the assassination of two senior commanders and a withdrawal of support from former proponent Hugo Chavez. Facing constant combat, the insurgency is losing members in record numbers and popular support is dissipating.

Who will replace Marulanda? Will this mean a return to the negotiating table, the commencement of mass demobilisation and the release of hostages or will FARC catch its breath and stage a fightback?
