Myanmar coup leader attends summit
Burmese military ruler in Indonesia for talks on the coup that brought him to power.
The Burmese general who seized power in February's coup, Min Aung Hlaing, is in Jakarta for the Asean summit to discuss the political crisis in Myanmar. The decision to invite him, rather than anyone from Myanmar's democratically-elected government, has been heavily criticised.
Also in the programme: the latest figures show that India has registered nearly a million new coronavirus cases in the past three days alone; and are parents giving their kids enough time and freedom to play outside the home?
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 Indian city of Pune, and Emma Beals, an international policy analyst and senior advisor at the European Institute of Peace.
