the burmese government has set up a commission to investigate and it is due to report back before theled by the vice president, who is a former general, and seems aimed at proving that the military has done nothing wrong. this is a glimpse of the commission at work, interviewing a rohingya woman through translators. incredibly, the footage was broadcast on state tv without subtitles to prove that rohingya claims of rape are false. the leader, aung san suu kyi, seen here meeting borisjohnson, has asked for time to solve the problems of rakhine. if, as many suspect, the burmese army is exonerated by the commission, it will be clear that establishing the truth is not part of aung sang suu kyi's solution. you're watching newsday on the bbc. still to come on the programme: it's the eve of lunar new year. we say good—bye to the year of the monkey, and hello to the year of the rooster. also on the programme. the global dance icon who draws on her polynesian heritage in her hip—hop moves. the shuttle challenger exploded soon after liftoff. there were seven astronauts on board, one of them a w
