Pope under pressure to raise Rohingya abuses in Myanmar

Burmese army chief tells pontiff there is no discrimination in the country. Plus does Prince Harry's engagement to Meghan Markle mark a new chapter for the royal family?

The Pope has arrived in Myanmar - but will he say the 'R' word - 'Rohingya'? Christians in the country are nervous about the repercussions if Pope Francis champions the plight of the Muslim minority - we hear the views of Bishop Nazir Ali. Also does Prince Harry's engagement to Meghan Markle mark a new chapter for the Royal Family and for the UK? Afua Hirsch, author of the book 'Brit (ish), and Rachel Johnson, journalist and author, discuss the evolution of the British monarchy. What are the health impacts of being born near an area with an oil spill? We have a special report from Nigeria.
