In Colombia, right-wing politician Iván Duque has won Sunday's
contentious presidential runoff, beating out his left-leaning challenger
Gustavo Petro in an election that will determine the future of
Colombia's historic peace deal with the FARC. Duque was handpicked by
former right-wing President Álvaro Uribe. Duque has vowed to roll back
