An international aid group says more than 40 children are among those who have been killed during the military's violent crackdown of anti-coup protests in Myanmar.
Save the Children described it as a nightmare.
This comes as China has again rejected attempts to sanction the military leaders at an emergency meeting of the United Nations Security Council.

When it comes to pressure, the United States is trying to pressure China to do something, whether that is using its influence in Myanmar.

So, it would be interesting to see if that kind of pressure works.
