Rescue efforts continue after Myanmar earthquake

Many areas of the country remain inaccessible after Friday's earthquake.

Myanmar's military government says more than 2,700 people are confirmed to have died as a result of the quake, but the true number of casualties is feared to be much higher. A BBC team that has arrived in the largest affected city, Mandalay, reported widespread devastation, large numbers of residents in temporary shelters in the streets, and victims cremated in stacks. We hear from people in Myanmar and those abroad who have relatives there.

The United Nations says around 1000 children have been killed or wounded in Gaza since Israel renewed its offensive there last month. We find out more from our correspondent and hear from one teenage girl in Gaza.

We speak to parents and their teenage sons about the hit TV show Adolescence - which looks at the topics of misogyny, online hate and the internet's influence on young men.
