Pope Francis begins delicate visit to Burma

Interviews, news and analysis of the day’s global events.

Pope Francis has arrived in Myanmar for the first papal visit to a country widely accused this year of ethnic cleansing of Rohingya Muslims. We hear from our reporter in Yangon. 

Also on the programme: Time Magazine is to be bought by a rival corporation in a deal backed by two conservative billionaires, the Koch Brothers; the UK health watch dog says vaginal mesh implants can leave women with chronic pain should be banned; and the Chilean musical movement which inspired opposition to a dictator.
