BBC World Service - Weekend, Myanmar condemned for killings

The world condemns Myanmar; the man charged with killing George Floyd goes on trial

The world condemns Myanmar; the man charged with killing George Floyd goes on trial.

International condemnation for Myanmar's military rulers over the killing of dozens of anti-coup protesters.

Also, the trial of Derek Chauvin, the policeman charged with killing George Floyd last year, begins in the US, but will it be a fair one?

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.
