Hello. We begin with a Special Report from the front line in myanmar, a country in the grip of a war largely forgotten by the outside world. Rebel forces there are fighting an intense battle against the military regime.

Not everyone had a seat belt on, and objects and passengers were hurled around the cabin by the turbulence. The plane then made an Emergency Diversion to bangkok in thailand, from where our South East Asia correspondent Jonathan Head joins us. Here at Bangkok Airport they have sent a special flight to pick up those passengers who did not need medical treatment to help but get on to their ultimate destination in singapore but we believe more than 70 people needed to be treated in hospital here in thailand. Some of those wer
