BBC World Service - Weekend, Deadly clashes in Myanmar

At least two people protesting against the military coup have been been shot dead.

There have been fresh clashes on the streets of Myanmar. Reports are coming in of protestors being shot dead by police. We get the latest from Yangon.

Also on the programme, the search is on for hundreds of missing schoolgirls taken in the latest kidnapping in Nigeria; and in the US -- Republicans get ready for Donald Trump's first speech since leaving office.

To discuss these stories and others we are joined by Mary Dejevsky, a writer and broadcaster based in London and Ryan Heath, the global editor at Politico, the online news publication, from New York.
