Myanmar military losing control of country
A Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ investigation has found that the military controls less than a quarter of Myanmar.
A Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ investigation has found that Myanmar's military government controls less than a quarter of the country's territory, nearly four years after seizing power. In contrast, armed opposition groups are in charge of more than forty percent. We speak to the team behind the investigation.
As we approach the end of the year, we are taking a look at some of the big stories and talking points of 2024. Today we turn to our Russia Editor Steve Rosenberg, who yesterday at a press conference challenged Russian President Vladimir Putin on his 25 years in power. We also discuss what this year has been like for Russia, and what we can expect from 2025.
And we discuss Capybaras - the large rodent which have become this year's viral Christmas trend, with stuffed toys selling out in shops and videos with
millions of views.
