BBC World Service - Weekend, World condemnation of Myanmar's military

International condemnation of the authorities in Myanmar after shooting of protesters

There's been international condemnation of the military authorities in Myanmar after reports that soldiers shot dead two protesters in Mandalay. 

Also, Israel is easing lockdown restrictions after almost half the population received their first dose of coronavirus vaccine.

Plus, in Texas the big freeze is ending, but we hear how significant challenges remain because of thousands of burst water pipes.

And we take a hike with a group of black outdoorswomen in Massachusetts.

Joining Julian Worricker to discuss these and other issues are Kat Arney, British science writer and broadcaster; and Jeffrey Kofman, Canadian broadcaster and journalist, and CEO and Co-Founder of the Trint tech company.
