BBC World Service - Weekend, Global condemnation of killings in Myanmar

International criticism of Myanmar killings; Beijing reacts angrily to Western sanctions

International criticism of Myanmar killings; Beijing reacts angrily to Western sanctions.

International condemnation of the killing of civilians by the military in Myanmar.

Also, the authorities in Beijing have reacted angrily to a coordinated move by the EU, UK, Canada, and the US to impose sanctions, citing the mass arbitrary detention of a million ethnic Uighurs.

Plus, seven years on from the abduction of schoolgirls from the Nigerian town on Chibok by the Islamist militant group, Boko Haram, we speak to the author of a new book, ‘Bring Back Our Girls’, on the story of the kidnapped girls.

Joining Celia Hatton to discuss these and other stories are Victoria Rubadiri, senior presenter on Citizen TV in Kenya; and Emaddedin Badi, a Libyan analyst and Non-Resident Fellow at the Atlantic Council.
