Rebel army on defensive in Myanmar

Newsday

Available for 21 days

We report from Myanmar where the forced recruitment of tens of thousands of conscripts has led to a change in fortune for the country's military. Until now the military was losing ground to rebel and ethnic groups across the country. Iran has launched a wave of strikes at US targets across the Middle East. It follows US strikes on Iran in response to the downing of an American Helicopter. And what caused the overnight violence in Northern Ireland, with black people's homes reportedly targetted. Presenters: Barbara Plett and James Copnall. (Photo: 91福利社 reporter Quentin Somerville with rebel army in Myanmar. Credit: 91福利社).
