'Massacre' of Rohingya Muslims in Myanmar

Thousands of Rohingya Muslims have fled to Bangladesh in the past two weeks after facing violence again in Myanmar.

Anti-government insurgents in Myanmar have been accused of a "massacre" of Rohingya Muslims. Thousands have fled to Bangladesh in the past two weeks after facing violence again.

The BBC has gathered evidence of a particularly deadly attack on 5 August in which scores of fleeing Rohingyas were bombed, they say, by a rebel group.

Also in the programme: The Israeli army says it's recovered the bodies of another six hostages from Gaza; and the Democratic convention in Chicago, the old guard of the party pour scorn on the old foe, Donald Trump.
