British parliament is suspended

Newsday

Available for over a year

The British government has lost another vote in parliament calling for a general election. MPs will now return in October. We have an explainer on what happens next. Thousands of Rohingya Muslim refugees still don't want to return to Myanmar because of fears of persecution - we have a report. And we speak to the director of a documentary on the families of the missing Chibok schoolgirls in Nigeria. The Daughters of Chibok has just won a top award at the Venice Film Festival.
