Paing Takhon is a model and actor and one of Myanmar's most popular celebrities. He was detained in a dawn raid after protesting against the military, and his fans have mounted a massive campaign for his release. European nations fail to agree over how to deal with the AstraZeneca jab. There's growing evidence of a link between the vaccine and a very small risk of blood clots. But experts and the statistics do agree the benefits of mass vaccination outweigh the risks. And we walk around a London park to find out how climate change is affecting local trees and hear about the key role of oaks.
