Tens of thousands in Myanmar Protests

A second day of rallies to protest against the military's seizure of power.

Thousands of people are protesting for a second day in a row, in reaction to the military coup which took place nearly a week ago. We hear the latest about the events on the ground.

Also on the programme: Donald Trump's impeachment trial in the US Senate kicks off tomorrow - his supporters are upbeat; And Missions to Mars - scientists gear up for three new missions to the Red Planet's orbit.

To talk about these stories and many more we are joined by Shachi Kurl, President of Angus Reid Institute, a Canadian public opinion research organization based in Vancouver and Jeremy Shapiro, research director of the European Council on Foreign Relations, a think tank based here in London, but who is currently in Washington.
