Two Colombian women who were kept hostage in the jungle for more than six years are reunited with their families.
Consuelo Gonzalez met her granddaughter for the first time, while Clara Rojas, who had a son with one of the hostage takers, which was fostered, said she was looking forward to seeing her child again.
She said she felt she had been reborn.
The women were seized by the Colombian Farc rebel group and freed after the Venezuelan president helped broker a deal.
