BBC World Service - Newshour, Myanmar coup: crowds protest against military

Activists urge internet providers to restore service

Myanmar's military rulers have shut down the country's internet as thousands of people joined the largest rally yet against Monday's coup. Civil society organisations urged internet providers and mobile networks to challenge the blackout order.

Also on the programme: President Brden’s Yemen policy switch; and the 50th anniversary of women’s right to vote in Switzerland.
