Myanmar Violence: Should Aung San Suu Kyi be doing More?
Nearly 150,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled Myanmar to Bangladesh in less than two weeks
The de facto leader of Myanmar, Aung San Suu Kyis has blamed "terrorists" for "a huge iceberg of misinformation" on the strife in the north western state of Rakhine. Nearly 150,000 Rohingya Muslims have fled to Bangladesh in less than two weeks. The restive areas are very rarely reached by foreign journalists but our correspondent is there on a government-supervised trip. Also in the programme: the evangelical pastor who met President Trump, hoping to persuade him not to scrap the programme offering protections to young people who were brought into the United States illegally as children; and a pen that can identify cancerous tissue within seconds.
