Myanmar General at Regional Summit

General Min Aung Hlaing who seized power in February arrives for meeting in Indonesia.

The Burmese general who seized power in February is attending a regional summit in Indonesia. Does this mark a tacit acceptance of the coup by Myanmar's neighbours?

Also on the programme: hopes fade for the crew members on board an Indonesian submarine which disappeared on Wednesday; and latest figures show that India has registered nearly a million new coronavirus cases in the past three days alone.

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.
