the vote counts that i was seeing showed the two leading contenders, mr chimisa and mr mnangagwa to be seeing the entire voting results. however, given what the military did in november, and the unfortunate public endorsement of mr chamisa by robert mugabe, i would think that the military is probably trying to figure a way to declare mr mnangagwa the winner. it sounds like we are going to be talking again, that situation of course very much still on the move. thank you very much indeed. my pleasure. colombia has long been regarded as the cocaine capital of the world, but production of the drug there is now reaching unprecedented levels, with much of it heading to europe. in london, the metropolitan police blames the drug for rising levels of gang violence, and has hit out at its middle—class buyers. production in colombia jumped almost 20% in a year, with more than 900 tonnes of cocaine made in 2017. that is despite a peace accord with farc rebels who had been the main producers. our security correspondent frank gardner has just travelled around the country to bring us this special rep
