Myanmar police use water cannon amid mass strike

Available for over a year

Protests against Myanmar's military coup continue, as workers joined a nationwide strike. Nehginpao Kipgen is associate professor at the Jindal School of International Affairs in New Delhi, and discusses how recent developments are impacting countries that have trade relations with Myanmar. Also in the programme, the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar is at the southern tip of the Iberian peninsula, and the BBC's Joshua Thorpe has been finding out how Brexit is impacting businesses and workers there. Plus, with employment opportunities scarce in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, there is renewed interest in apprenticeships. We meet a man thought to be Britain's oldest apprentice at age 76, and we get wider context on the advantages and disadvantage of such schemes from Kathleen Henehan of the Resolution Foundation in the UK.
