Inside Europe: Prague is divided over a column

Rob Cameron
July 26, 2019

Controversy surrounds a plan to erect a replica of a Marian column in Prague's Old Town Square, a century after it was torn down.

As Rob Cameron reports, the dispute goes to the heart of Czech cultural, religious and national identity.
