Why are teachers bullied in South Korea?
Tens of thousands of teachers in South Korea have been striking to demand better protection. They say they are so scared of being called child abusers at work, they feel they can't discipline their students. The protests happened after the suicide of a young teacher. It later came out she had been dealing with severe complaints from parents. The BBC's Yuna Ku explains what it's like to be a teacher in a high-pressure society, like South Korea.
Also, the Burning Man festival in the US has been struggling with mud and also swirling fake rumours. We debunk the claims.
