Police and protesters battled in Myanmar in a fifth straight day of demonstrations. 

Large crowds are rallying against a military coup that ousted the Southeast Asian country's democratically elected leader last week. 

Police sprayed water canons and a human rights group said a woman is believed to have been shot in the head. 

Several countries are condemning these actions including the U.S. which said those responsible for the coup will face "significant consequences."
