UN Security Council condemns civilian deaths in Myanmar
The unanimous statement expressed concern at the "rapidly deteriorating" situation.
The United Nations Security Council issued a statement to say it "strongly condemned" the deaths of hundreds of civilians in Myanmar. We'll hear from a doctor in Yangon about what he's seen. Also: at least 48 people have died in a train crash in Taiwan; and we'll hear about the new home for the most stolen piece of art of all time, the Ghent Altarpiece.
