Monks fight luxury building plan 'threat' to Myanmar pagoda


The Schwedagon Pagoda, a giant gold 99-metre tall pagoda, is one of Myanmar's most famous Buddhist landmarks.


It is currently at the centre of a campaign by monks to stop proposals for a luxury residential and retail complex close by.


As the BBC's Jonah Fisher reports, the land is owned by the Burmese army, and they are determined the project will go ahead.
