The military in Myanmar have laid new criminal charges against detained opposition leader, Aung San Suu Kyi. Thousands are now protesting in the commercial capital, Yangon. We look at what could happen next. NATO defence ministers are meeting to decide on the future of the alliance's ten thousand troops in Afghanistan. As it stands, they're due to pull out in May. We get the latest from our Chief International Correspondent Lyse Doucet who is in Kabul. And we're live in South Africa where former president Jacob Zuma is in trouble for not appearing in court, he's refusing to be questioned in a corruption case.
