Sheikh Hasina caught on tape authorising shooting of protesters
A BBC investigation has found that the former prime minister of Bangladesh, Sheikh Hasina, authorised her security forces to use lethal force against protestors last summer. The evidence is a leaked tape verified by the BBC. An estimated 1,400 people were killed and 12,000 injured during the student protests against a new law restricting access to government jobs. Also in the programme: has Donald Trump lost his patience with Vladimir Putin – and how is the Russian president responding? And as it’s announced that the Bayeux Tapestry will be loaned to the UK next year, more than 900 years after its creation, we ask: is it actually coming home?(IMAGE: Former prime minister Sheikh Hasina, chief of opposition Bangladesh Awami League, speaks at a rally in Dhaka on March 7, 2002 / CREDIT: Reuters/Rafiqur Rahman/NA/CP/File Photo)
