South America correspondent Daniel Schweimler joins us from Buenos Aires after an American nurse working for an aid agency in Haiti and her child have been kidnapped by one of the country's largest gangs.

And in Bolivia, authorities have declared an alert after water levels in Lake Titicaca, the world's highest navigable lake, fell below drought danger levels.

Meanwhile the president of Colombia, Gustavo Petro, is promising not to interfere after his son was accused of taking money from a known drug dealer.

It's not unusual for the children of Latin American politicians to be involved in the drugs trade. And Daniel will update us on how Latin American teams are faring in the FIFA World Cup.
