Seven-year-old shot dead in Myanmar violence
The girl’s family says she was killed by police at her home as she ran to her father.
A seven-year-old girl has been shot dead in Myanmar, becoming the youngest known victim in the crackdown following last month's military coup. We’ll hear from the Burmese historian Thant Myint-U about the country’s future. Also in the programme: despite predictions by Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he’s won, exit polls are showing yet another inconclusive result in Israel’s elections; and as France endures a third wave of Covid infections, doctors are deeply concerned the government has ignored their expertise.
