Repatriation of Rohingya to Myanmar

A timeframe for repatriating hundreds of thousands of Rohingya has been agreed.

The aim is to return all Rohingya Muslims to Myanmar within two years. But, aid agencies have raised concerns about forcibly repatriating them. More than 740,000 Rohingya have fled to neighbouring Bangladesh amid violence in Rakhine state in 2016 and 2017. Also, we hear the latest on the conditions on Lesbos, Greece’s island for refugees, from a journalist who has recently visited. And, a man ruptured his throat by stifling a sneeze - we hear from a doctor about the dangers of sneezing.
