Myanmar: Funerals and more protests

Demonstrations continue, despite the killing of dozens of people by security forces

Demonstrations against the military coup continue, despite the killing of dozens of people by security forces. Today was the funeral in Mandalay of 19-year-old Angel, also known as Kyal Sin, who has become a symbol of the crackdown on the protests. We'll hear from our correspondent, some of the protesters themselves, and talk about how the story is being covered by Burmese media.

We'll answer your questions on the coronavirus pandemic with our regular expert. Dr Emma Hodcroft will tell us what it means to "tweak" a Covid vaccine to make it more effective against new variants of the disease.

We'll also hear a conversation between three people who have lost relatives to Covid in the past year of the pandemic. From Bangladesh, Sweden and the United States, they share their experiences of coping with loss.
