BBC World Service - Weekend, Protests continue in Myanmar

Protests against the military in Myanmar; both sides rest in Trump impeachment trial

We hear from the biggest city in Myanmar, where it's day 8 of the protests against a military takeover.

Also, both the defence and the prosecution have now rested their cases  in Donald Trump's second impeachment trial, a process some observers say lacked punch.

Joining Paul Henley to discuss these and other issues are Anne Karpf, a British sociologist, writer, and Professor of Life Writing and Culture at the London Metropolitan University; and Mike Berners-Lee, a writer and consultant on the environment and a professor at Lancaster University here in the UK.
