Newsday

Available for over a year

More arrests have been made by the military in Myanmar - the UN Special Envoy to the country calls it an outrage and warns the military rulers won't get away with it. We have an interview with the UN special rapporteur on Myanmar Tom Andrews. Donald Trump's impeachment trial has been shown new footage of violence he is accused of inciting. We'll also hear a little tune from the world's oldest surviving musical instrument - from a conch which is 17,000-years old which was discovered in a cave in the Pyrenees.
