Colombia to ban coca spraying herbicide glyphosate
Colombia has announced it will stop using a controversial herbicide to destroy illegal plantations of coca, the raw ingredient for cocaine.
The decision follows a warning by the World Health Organisation (WHO) that glyphosate is "probably carcinogenic".
The product has been used in US-sponsored crop-spraying anti-narcotics programmes in South America.
President Juan Manuel Santos has said Colombia will need to find other mechanisms to combat coca production.
Anti-narcotics officials in Colombia will have until October to prepare an alternative plan.
