Colombia: third round of talks opens in Cuba

The Head of the Colombian Government's peace negotiating team is warning the country's main guerrilla army to get its act together, as the third round of peace talks gets underway between them Monday in Cuba. Former Colombian Vice President and also Minister of the Interior, Humberto De La Calle, who's leading the Government team, stressed that they have a willingness and eagerness for these talks to make substantive progress. But he also significantly warned that this process can't and won't drag on indefinitely. The United States has poured more than five billion dollars of funding, training, technology and military hardware into Colombia to help it combat paramilitaries and cocaine. The conflict, which has been dragging on since 1964, has cost tens of thousands of lives and displaced millions of people. Listen to this report from regional correspondent James Blears:
