BBC World Service - Newshour, Seven-year-old shot dead in Myanmar violence

The girl’s family says she was killed by police at her home

The girl’s family says she was killed by police at her home as she ran to her father.

A seven-year-old girl has been shot dead in Myanmar, becoming the youngest known victim in the crackdown following last month's military coup. We’ll hear from the Burmese historian Thant Myint-U about the country’s future. Also in the programme: despite predictions by Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that he’s won, exit polls are showing yet another inconclusive result in Israel’s elections; and as France endures a third wave of Covid infections, doctors are deeply concerned the government has ignored their expertise.
