In Myanmar rebels are losing military ground

Newsday

Available for 29 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. We look at how Los Angeles is gearing up for the World Cup with our Sport reporter who's covering the tournament. And the US has launched fresh strikes on Iran after President Donald Trump accused Tehran's forces of shooting down a US Apache helicopter over the Strait of Hormuz. Presenters: James Copnall and Barbara Plett. (Photo: Rebel soldier in Myanmar. Credit: Darren Conway/麻豆社)
