People take to the streets for a second day in a row to protest against the military coup.

Tens of thousands of people have taken to the streets in Myanmar for a second day in a row to protest against the military's seizure of power. We take look at what happens next to the deposed leader, Aung San Suu Kyi

Also on the programme: A report from Melbourne, where the Australian Open Tennis Tournament is about to begun and the Bosnian director on what inspired her potentially award-winning film. 

To talk about these stories and others we are joined by Shachi Kurl, President of Angus Reid Institute, 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.
