Colombia's Farc rebels release video of hostage

A Venezuelan television network has broadcast a video of a French journalist held by FARC rebels, following an announcement that he would be released.

Romeo Langlois was seized in April by heavily armed FARC fighters during a clash with troops who had been carrying out an anti-drug raid in Caqueta, a rebel-stronghold in the south of Colombia.

The journalist is due to be handed over on Wednesday to a international committee that has been mediating with the rebels.
