Share This article

The United Nations Security Council is set to examine a political crisis in Myanmar today.

 Demonstrators have regularly flooded the streets of cities across the country since the military seized power and ousted elected governmental leaders in February.

 The protests have been deadly and Wednesday was the bloodiest day as security forces opened fire on crowds of people, killing at least 38.

 A U.S. ambassador to the UN said the international community needs to "ramp up the pressure" on Myanmar's military, which is largely supported by Chinese leaders.

 CBN News Senior International Correspondent Gary Lane is on today's episode to share how China is playing a big role in this coup.
