Myanmar: One year after military coup

In Myanmar silent strikes have been staged across the country, in protest at the military coup that took place a year ago. The UN says Myanmar has descended into civil war and has appealed for record sums to help the Burmese people. We hear from people who have stayed at home in protest, as well as getting the latest developments from our colleagues at BBC Burmese.

The Beijing Winter Olympics officially open this week, and we bring you the first in our series of special conversations. Today we look at how China’s human rights record - particularly its treatment of Uyghur Muslims - has prompted a diplomatic boycott by a number of countries. We bring together three Uyghur activists to hear their stories.

And we speak to our correspondent in Ukraine about the diplomatic talks between the British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and President Zelensky in the capital Kyiv.
