Jordan's Prince Hamzah "under house arrest"

Jordan's Prince Hamzah bin Hussein says he has been placed under house arrest.

The Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan has been thrown into turmoil after the arrest of several senior figures, amid reports of a possible coup attempt against the ruling monarch. King Abdullah's half-brother, the former crown prince Hamzah bin Hussein, has meanwhile said that the armed forces have put him under house arrest.

Also in the programme: An extraordinary address from Germany's president and we hear from a doctor in Myanmar on violence following a military coup.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other stories are Milica Pesic, Serbian-born journalist and executive director of the Media Diversity Institute; and Mark Vernon, a British psychotherapist and author with the research network Perspectiva.
