Regional Summit on Myanmar
Increased security in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta, ahead of ASEAN meeting.
Regional leaders are due to hold crisis talks in Indonesia with the Burmese general who seized power in February. We hear more about the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) meeting in Jakarta.
Also on the programme, hopes are fading for more than fifty crew members on board an Indonesian submarine which disappeared on Wednesday, but the search goes on; and we hear from the writer of an Oscar-nominated film about black people in the US who die at the hands of the police.
To discuss these stories and more Celia Hatton is joined by Vandana Saxena Poria, a British-born chartered accountant, entrepreneur and management consultant, now based in the city of Pune in India and Emma Beals, international policy analyst and senior advisor at the European Institute of Peace.
