Myanmar protests: Hundreds of people released from custody

In Myanmar more than 600 people who were detained after last month's military coup have been released from prison. Over 2000 people have been arrested since Myanmar's elected government was ousted by military forces. In the city of Mandalay, a funeral was held for a seven year old girl who was shot dead when her home was raided by security forces. We'll bring you the latest developments on both stories and the situation across Myanmar.

Also, each day here on OS we talk to people from different parts of the world to find out how the pandemic has impacted their lives. Today we're going to speak to two mothers, to hear how their families have been sharing domestic responsibilities during the pandemic.
