Thousands take to the streets to protest against the military's seizure of power.

Thousands of people have taken to the streets of Myanmar for a second day in a row to protest against the military's seizure of power, we hear an analysis of the possible impact of those demonstrations.

Also on the programme: We'll be hearing about why there is vaccine hesitancy in the United States among health care workers; and a report on the boom in cross-country skiing, with ski stations shut across Europe.

For comment on these stories and many more we are joined on the programme by Shachi Kurl, President of Angus Reid Institute, which is a Canadian public opinion research organisation based in Vancouver and Jeremy Shapiro, research director of the European Council on Foreign Relations, a think tank based here in London, but who is currently in Washington.
