Briefing Room: Washington Courts Myanmar Regime, And More.

Welcome back to the briefing room the weekly show that deeply trusts its audience to find their sense of optimism around the world from somewhere else this week we're zeroing in on the nation of my march to check on his latest efforts to convince the rest of the world to ignore its wartime atrocities against its own people.

Then a changing course to talk about Yemen, where over a million people are trapped in a city under siege. Finally, we're exploring a story that's recently come to light about a firefight in the eastern Congo last month where Western mercenaries, including a former UFC fighter, were among the casualties.

As always, these are the stories that aren't likely to spend time on the front page, so thank you for being with us and, well, prepare to be briefed. For our lead story today, we turn our attention to the Southeast Asian nation of Myanmar, which has been dealing with an ongoing civil war since 2021.
