Tsipras rises again.

Reality Check on that political surprise in Athens.

The rise & rise again of Alexis Tsipras
Despite facing a strong challenge from the conservative New Democracy party, Alexis Tsipras has come out on top again. He won yesterday's snap general election 7 months after he led his left wing Syriza party to its first victory. So how much of a stronger position is he in now to push through the austerity measures required for the bailouts?

He took on the lenders and effectively lost and then exercised a u-turn by putting into action the lender's bailout programme. So there has been a lot of reaction to the events of this weekend. We got some thoughts of people in Athens straight after the election.

We also spoke with Helena Smith, Guardian correspondent in Athens about what this election victory for Tsipras now means for Greece.

Venezuela & Columbia
The presidents of Venezuela & Columbia are meeting in Ecuador today to try to resolve a crisis that has seen more than 1,500 Columbians deported from Venezuela. So will this meeting avert a potential humanitarian situation on this border? We spoke with Hanna Silbermayr in Caracas.

Unaccompanied minors
Save the Children estimates there are currently around 5,000 unaccompanied children in European refugee camps who have no adult officially responsible for them. So why are huge numbers turning up and what level of care is given to children in particular? We spoke with Sarah Crowe from the children's charity UNICEF.

Ukraine
NATO chief Jens Stoltenberg is in Kiev today. Ukraine decided against trying to become a NATO member back in 2010 in order to appease Moscow. But after all that’s happened how are feelings now about a future Ukrainian membership? We heard from David Stern in Kiev.

Philippe Legrain
Former European Commission adviser Philippe Legrain, recently wrote in the New York Times, "Open Up, Europe! Let Migrants In" on how Europe could benefit from an influx of refugees. We asked him how refugees and migrants could help the EU’s economic challenges?
