Black outdoorswomen hiking in Massachusetts; world condemns Myanmar military junta

We take a hike with a group of black outdoorswomen in Massachusetts.

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

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.
