Myanmar’s military government is facing its biggest challenge since it seized power in a coup more than two years ago.

Following on from our two previous films charting the course of the resistance, we have unique access through our embedded camera team to capture the story at its most critical time, and chart the progress of these idealistic young people as they take on the military – once considered the most powerful army in Southeast Asia.

King Charles is to resume some public engagements after encouraging progress in his cancer treatment, Buckingham Palace has said. However it won't be a full return to official engagements for the King, who began his treatment in February. The type of cancer has not been disclosed.

However they said it was “too early to say” how much longer his treatment would continue. King Charles will begin his partial return to public engagements with a symbolic trip to a cancer treatment centre. The palace said he would undertake more external engagements and host a state visit by the Emperor and Empress of Japan. A picture of the King and Queen Camilla, taken earlier this month in the gardens of Buckingham Palace, has been released.
