A doctor's view of the Myanmar protests

Newsday

Available for over a year

We speak to a doctor who's refusing to work until Aung San Suu Kyi is reinstated: "we are planning to 100% shut down... hospitals, transport, electricity and education". Cuba is working on a homegrown coronavirus vaccine which it hopes will bring both health and commercial benefits to the island. And we go to Hong Kong and hear from a veteran pro-democracy activist on trial under the new national security law.
