Aung San Suu Kyi charged after Myanmar military coup
Myanmar’s elected civilian leader hasn't been seen or heard from since the coup on Monday
Aung San Suu Kyi, the elected civilian leader and State Counsellor of Myanmar, has been charged by police following the military coup on Monday. And what does China make of the coup after it vetoed criticism of the army takeover at the UN Security Council?
Also in the programme: Matteo Renzi, the former Italian prime minister on why he backs the former central banker, Mario Draghi, to lead a new technocratic cabinet in Rome. And a Russian teenager tells us why he supports Alexei Navalny and his talk of a bright future for Russia.
