BBC World Service - Newshour, Myanmar military loses Thai border town

Ethnic Karen fighters say they have taken the town of Myawaddy

Ethnic Karen fighters in Myanmar say they've taken the town of Myawaddy, the latest rebel advance against the ruling military. Defeated troops are said to have fled across the border to Thailand.

Also in the programme: a billionaire property developer in Vietnam has been sentenced to death for corruption; and the new excavation at Pompeii that's uncovered some remarkable frescoes and mosaics from ancient Rome.
