Deadly Mexico truck crash

The 54 people killed are believed to have been trying to migrate to the United States

A truck has crashed in Mexico's southern state of Chiapas, killing at least 54 people. They are believed to have been Guatemalans and Hondurans trying to migrate to the United States. We'll hear from a reporter in the state and also a journalist who provides news to migrants making the journey.

Our reporter from BBC Burmese will tell us about a “silent strike” taking place in Myanmar against the country’s military rule. We’ll also hear messages people in Myanmar have sent us, describing the empty streets and closed businesses in the country’s main cities.

We’ll be answering your questions on Covid-19 with the help of Dr Megan Murray from Harvard University. We'll also hear the BBC's Ros Atkins explain the moral and scientific arguments around vaccine mandates.
