Large rally in Yangon

Thousands of people have taken to the streets of Myanmar to protest against this week's military coup. We'll hear from the biggest city Yangon. We also hear from an Australian advisor to the country's deposed leader, Aung San Suu Kyi, just after he was detained in a hotel in the capital.

Also on the programme: we'll get the latest on the developments regarding vaccines against Coronavirus from a leading virologist; and hear about the Russian opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, who was back in court on Friday, this time accused of defaming a World War II veteran.

To talk about these stories and more we are joined in the studio by Celia Szusterman who is the director of the Latin America Programme at the Institute for Statecraft in London and James Lynch, the founding director of FairSquare Research and Projects, which provides expert analysis on a range of human rights issues.
