Myanmar protests: Military extends martial law

In Myanmar the military has imposed martial law across more districts after the deadliest day of protests since February's coup. Around 50 people were reported killed when troops and police opened fire on protesters. We hear from protesters in the country.

Also, we speak to our coronavirus experts about the concerns over possible side effects of the Oxford-AstraZeneca coronavirus vaccine. Germany has become the latest country to suspend the use of the vaccine but the WHO has said there is no link between vaccine and reports of blood clots.

And we continue to look back at a year of the coronavirus pandemic and this week we’ll be playing a conversation with four journalists in India, Brazil, Italy and the US about what it has been like to cover the story and how different governments have handled the pandemic.
