1.5m people protests in Colombia
Hundreds of thousands of Colombians have joined street demonstrations yesterday against the policies of President Juan Manuel Santos.
Students and lecturers protesting against proposed university reforms were joined by trade unionists demanding improved conditions.
Colombia's main trade union federation, the CUT, said 1.5m people joined the demonstrations in cities nationwide.
The protests are the biggest since President Santos took office in August.
But otherwise the protests are reported to have been peaceful and good-natured.
