just a mixture of sadness and. with the election behind us the republican party dumptruck the weekly take on us politics and i think that's the bottom on. our air or at the end. i know i'm in london quick look at the headlines now have defied intimidation and the threat of violence to take part in elections in the central african republic there were reports of voter harshman in one town the united nations at the process in the end was largely peaceful president. is seeking a 2nd term but his opponents have accused him of vote rigging and tried to get the ballot postponed. hundreds of troops join the 1000 strong un peacekeeping force already in place to support a peaceful catherine soy is in the capital bangui force. polls have closed and counting has just started at this polling station i expect counting i

started in other polling stations here in the we've seen a lot of observers from the african union and other missions other missions as well a lot of the votes in other provinces are going to be dead here because of the security situation in some of those areas but also because of the road network which is very bad and transport by a road are told is not a good idea so they're going to and lifted we expect to solve told in the next 4 to 5 days maybe alia but the big question is going forward really is the vote at hand now is how will the will to town not be a lot of people have talked to us than because of the security situation especially in the provinces the u.n. particularly talked about an area called the brain it's north of here the u.n. official thing that the man on the roof had been shooting in the air particularly in polling stations people have run away the u.n.

blue helmets have been sent to rain for the troops that will lead you there in some places we're told that. people have been making away with ballot papers and ballot boxes and so wants a lot of intimidation a lot of harrisburg but we have also heard from the u.n. saying that these very few areas in the provinces and in most of the country voting went ahead peacefully. well their hopes could be heading for its 1st democratic transition of power country's former interior minister is the favorite succeed the current president mohammed you saw for he standing down after which in the limits of 25 year terms in total 30 candidates is standing for the presidency but the main opposition leader was barred from standing election campaign has been overshadowed by 2 major pockets of violence in the country. the future of music that i am waiting for security health progress and democracy in

a democracy. i expect the future president will work well for that we will be at peace that there will be security. the sunday that will i hope for health in 1st place education in 2nd place and pity for the poor in 3rd place. millions of americans saw their unemployment benefits expire at midnight after president trump failed to sign a new law republicans have now joined in the criticism of the president with $14000000.00 people left without funds and with the threat of unemployment the bill was agreed by congress it was labeled a disgrace by trump who wanted to see larger payments made out to people. because you don't get everything you want to even if you're the president of the united states we have 2 legislative bodies democrats control one republicans the other look if they were just the freestanding government funding bill i would almost

certainly be voting against that but i think that covert relief measures are really really important and you know in my state as in many other states we have governors who are closing down businesses again people are out of work certainly through no fault of their own i think we need the extended unemployment benefits i think we need another round of the p.p.p. loans which are really grants to small businesses to keep their workforce well in all the developments the coronavirus vaccine rollout has started in the european union the 1st of the blocks 450000000 residents given the jab medical software at the head of the queue in italy which has been one of the west hit countries in the region. those that lines this now i do say with this unholy alliance is the program coming out next.

morning prayers but one of the most influential monasteries can call me and. this is a country where the majority are devoted buddhists. for centuries the religion has been at the heart of the nation's very identity. while the pillars of buddhist teachings are loved compassion and peace is a very different variation to the philosophy being told at the mob out tom on the street in insane township. these monks are connected with one of the world's worst humanitarian crisis. the systematic persecution and genocide of urging the muslims

in rakhine state. our unprecedented access to them about how monastery and cedars offers a glimpse into how their ultra nationalist agenda is becoming the blueprint for the political structure of the country. is the joining the forces between monks and generals threatening mars young and fragile democracy. 2 but in the summer the film is when. we do the. listening saga would be up to the war who thought the olds who got the world will see nothing this will. be nothing the. 2 2 2 good of those it's only job is to really to muddy. the what the

cuff of the skull that it. doesn't want is about yes what they were missing. you know what. they want you. royal yes it is the pick me up the fake name. there is no in our history. roy and yes is really have been going to we don't like illegal migrant. my house my rules everybody has to and does damn this. situation.

the alliance. the alliance the line. to get our accounts take. 2 the persecution of range of muslims in myanmar can be traced back decades to the military takeover in 1962. many minorities suffered at the hands of the new dictatorship. the military ruled with an iron fist any form of dissent brutally stomped out. box monks believed to be the conscience of the governments and of the large majority of the people pressured leaders to adhere to buddhist principles. in boulder and by widespread public support the monks led the saffron revolution against the military in 2007 all united for democracy.

the us ringback. i'm not a bonding over there either they are living off of the list noble. goals are. a little harder all of you go to yahoo dot your own d.c.i. much as new a lot of. these emotional fairs are. the most noble model don't let my all model. in your head by mere. you know like they thought it started out this is this year me. this year i don't mind the time from the last one i knew would be.

on the wall but up on the toilet now almost i'm about a. 100 old duffer of just a double. the one that did it not only made it. into a. panacea of. this stereotype but all i'm going to need no bonus of will be a fabio none what you don't die yet body. to see what i. like the last 6.

marginal home our home beyond it might have gone a. 100 on the network the model on my feet it all or your only will be. thought toddy and i'm a thing about morrie and all yes i gather. that. gambhir was released in 2012 together with other political prisoners including myanmar's current leader aung san suu kyi it marked the beginning of its transition to democracy. but as a religious tensions between buddhists and muslims minorities started to surface the unity of the saffron revolution shattered. i mean that all over in 2012 thousands of monks once again took to the streets this time they were shouting their support for the military and their call to export

their own injury. you gumby it up openly oppose this movement it's still determined that democracy was the only way forward for me and mark. repeatedly imprisoned and ostracized for his views he finally fled to thailand in 2060. many in the me and mark believe the military still an important part of the governing structure intentionally fuel divisions amongst buddhist groups they quickly aligned with the most nationalistic buddhist leaders in hansing the army's popularity and influence. you know it's true i own. one them all found i'm not able. we told. you 3 about. before they go to get it but it's the gun on the end of. the whole thing of it.

joyously didn't know yet in. a money domino what a money domino what our money. medical on mondi audio on. only. the hostility towards minorities spurn them about time and ultranationalist monks organization. the name translates to the protection of race and religion. its founder and leader is a highly respected monk ashin to louka. so long and auto even. when the need in the sun now to see the. sun on the dawn of one is a. family that although. i did

see a lawyer who did your daughter for now believe it do not let it come on. he doesn't know my good at the no one down there and i mean. it would it made him. lazy or bothered on an end but that dog. knows if it. knew of them and i thought. it was almost to the. log i visit. said i also have evolved at all. and olive wood and also have meat i was your dog was all you know ted did you know to do that although. i even if. i.

did nothing. wrong it's on. you. tube and there's a did you. take a name that huge in the deal is if she would do a day. i go. to good will say buy lip balm. on the miss going into booty cheap to just sit in a book. now then this is. on the move. i lumumba all. the money. or. your mail your mileage is with it so. you know in the name delete all that and let

me were. the root of his extremism. especially the anti muslim i think it has a very long roots. muslims have been a man for centuries. things became more problematic with large scale immigration from the subcontinent because we see. in the past was there was growing in your mouth but they were in small numbers but under colonialism the british empire became too burma in large numbers of course that created problems. one of the remarkable things about the winter period was that. controlled by the

authorities was very strict and very strong so we had very little religious disturbances of course it was sort of pushed underground. but with the return of democracy and. a greater openness and of course at the same time manipulation it came out it really emerged on a much bigger scale. in politics there are 2 emotions which are very strong one is greed and the others fear. because we're under the military dictatorship 51 years and. then we have a civil war that's been raging between the central military and the ethnic on the organizations. so it's like.

an ending. continuous fear even educated people in your mass either or you see the inches they breed like cockroaches or insects and very soon. it will be full of was going religious and that was the buddhist will be swallowed so it's like we are defending our country our society and our religion so it's very important it's a very strong message but only wrong and it's quite frightening you know and that is the real danger of these extremist monks.

mobility. if you like to a man. yeah do their finale here my film there. are loads of on their. mobile that is the 1st organization to inform. how to protest our country. our ease of country our ease. voters and is. a peacemaker. we are aware come in everyone. to our nation our country. on k. fashion we doe as in eagerly my grant. discover

man don't laugh me. i'm no happy. government must be more care i was near my people than. the number because we have family they are different to strangers ok. the. the. i the. boy is a fake news and. we are. pushing communities never attack and never fight in different fee for different countries you can see the. world history. you can see wars history.

this is a prank this is a fake fake. this is a fake. how did it everybody says are humor raj humor right where is it human judy where it is citizen judy. i want to ask them where is what is human judy. then there was then they never tell about them. they all will out the all out you mariah human right no human right is not that fast we have to understand human judy and citizen duty

if you are human beings. we are not animal. all of this. can be brought on free and. he got us all really bad we can all have that. they're hanging him the ceiling before us and we believe in islam people are discriminated and treated like animals by the. state was home to over a 1000000 rohingya muslims and over 2000000 buddhists before the conflict started in 2012. since then being modest government has banned all media and

n.g.o.s from accessing the conflict area. where most ranger muslims now live in internally displaced camps. desperate and afraid. i want to hide my sis and my identity but the government. to speak out. when you are bad they come and. and the prosecutor. suddenly there was a remember several. time. in tell me. all the time especially. after several days there are people in mosques and the police come in said the house on fire in on me. i was in my house. i decided that myself i have to because my belly was

wrong in. the room he insists that their community had nothing to do with this attack. many of me in mars' activists and journalists. believe that the rape and murder of the buddhist woman never happened. that it was a story made up to start the conflict and. hundreds of thousands were forced into i.d.p. camps or to flee the country most of them to refugee camps in neighboring bangladesh. into their own lives some of them that's going to. the police all sportswear by their listening. at the time. at the link. to the muslim people honduras off thousands of. people.

following the attacks me and mas armed forces led so-called clearance operations in iraq and states. by 2018 thousands of ranger muslims were killed and more than 700000 had fled to bangladesh. the situation for survivors is desperate. now i am 22 years from my feet here the current situation is horrible if i want to move to the union busting but i came up because i don't have i don't think that. i want to see. peace had been quite right in the country i want to see this is flight 3.

what has happened in iraq hein what has happened to the ranger has been. really kind of an abysmal drop. the weight of a government and the ministry of the security forces handle things. only made things worse. so that's one of the the biggest stains upon the new governments and upon the country as a whole. and i really believe that things where either handled very badly all there are. i think. unscrupulous you know elements in it relating the situation from behind. countries who are transiting you know from an authoritarian system to a book open democratic system face

a lot of problems the politicians have to be prepared for that but you know i was not. him on politics is dominated by just 2 parties one is the military spotty they used to be and one is the national league for democracy. we thought that things would change just by having a democratic government you know and the party of a sense e.g. going to get power so again also disappointed in that regard. during her decades of struggle to house arrest and she was a nationally known democracy i kong and a harrowing recipient of any prizes she was repeating the mantra of human rights with every breath almost no democracy human rights no rule of law not she says she doesn't even mention human rights anymore. in the

years following the suffering revolution me and maher celebrated its 1st democratic government. but with the military still in power many of the dreams to have true democracy evaporate. and me and mars leaders stand accused of genocide. if you look at the history of morphine if you look at the history of our war and if you look at the history of cancun these things do not enter the world you go on your world drugs may enter the world as medicine. a new 3 part documentary series looks at the history and geopolitics of drug trafficking and its impact on the world today drug trafficking politics and power coming soon on al-jazeera

take the worst possible material you radio grinded into dust comparable to flour and make a whole lot of it and put it into a place where people live there is a cost colossally bad idea as well and for many people a fool here this is the silent he. doesn't make you feel nice you feel like a murderer we have created an enormous and little mental disaster. and investigation south africa toxic city on al jazeera. i met in a mood out of his parents' house after he got me he says he found more space living in biscayne after a run of eating it last year it's now his home along with his wife daughter and health but there's really governments at the cables deconstructed we've gotten permits and issues that the militia ordered last month our interview with cut short as he hears that the israeli army has arrived in the village with the bulldozer residents say soldiers give them one minute to go home it took the found me months

to build their brick and dust than an hour to see it get demolished. to. i know i'm in london with a quick reminder of the headlines now voters have defied intimidation and the threat of violence to take part in elections in the central african republic there were reports of voter harrison in one town the united nations says the process was largely peaceful and there was a massive turnout president. is seeking a 2nd term in office his opponents accuse him of vote rigging and try to get the ballot perspired hundreds of troops joined the 1000 strong un peacekeeping force already in place to support a peaceful. with a lot of observers from the african union and other museums other missions as well

both that look a lot of the votes in other provinces are going to be air lifted here because of the security situation in some of those areas but also because of the road network which is very bad and transport by is not a good idea but we have also heard from the u.n. saying that these are very few areas in the provinces and in most of the country walking went ahead peacefully there are hopes new gerry's heading for its 1st democratic transition of power after its election former interior minister is the favorite to succeed the current president mohamed to suffer he's standing down after reaching the limits of 25 year terms in total 30 candidates standing for the presidency but the main opposition leader was far from standing election campaign has been overshadowed by 2 major pockets of violence in the country. corona virus vaccine rollout to start in the european union the 1st of the blocks 450000000

residents given the job. medical staff are at the head of the queue in italy which has been one of the worst hit countries in the region enough doses of biotech vaccine should be delivered to inoculate little 6000000 people before the end of the year. millions of americans saw their unemployment benefits expire at midnight after president trump failed to sign a new law republicans have now joined in the criticism of the president with $14000000.00 people left without funds and with the threat of unemployment the bill which was agreed by congress was labeled a disgrace by trump who wanted to see larger payments. we live in washington for the latest on that story in the news hour in about a half miles time at $2100.00 g.m.t. do join me then now myanmar an unholy alliance continues i'll see a bit later. the health of humanity is at stake a global pandemic requires a global response. w.h.o.

is the guardian of global health delivering lifesaving tools school supplies and training to help the world's most vulnerable people uniting across borders to speed up the development of test treatments and a vaccine working with scientists and health workers to learn all we can about the virus keeping you up to date with what's happening on the ground in the ward and in the land advocating for everyone to have access to essential health services now more than ever the world needs w.h.o. making a healthy a world for you. for everyone. just . not going on enough on the whole well you know you know the whole end.

of home about i mean it also would be able to get out of. if you move. the not old. enough. to get to movies you will probably see you do you know why you will be thinking. through all the mode oh i do do our margins and i do just i don't know what i feel form of old let me go about my get there. and know the body to somebody. why do you feel for these going. on in it. and don't worry about it. now obama will probably get them out of town or hurt you or. there will be a few women alone let the images and it will be i was with them i just need. to

bore you with the burning of. your coverage. in the broader picture is life like in a separate division amongst an stage massive protests and bring the population on to this site which the government in power really feared and mr governor. really clamp down on it so if them were treated well. very good to. see. you can also use monks for your own purpose you know. for very negative. and sent objectives back to democracy the monks are a force that can be used to. the n.l. the government doesn't view of the very favor of the western so the monks

and the military they entered into this kind of unholy alliance. claims. there is no denying the reverence for them about our leader during his visit to current state. his devoted followers worship the ultranationalist monks the way. last a crowd of fervent followers is also waiting to receive his speech. class. class i. i.

i. i i i i. i i i. i i you know i. yeah. yeah. oh yeah. i knew. he had a 1000000 little. good as it doesn't head it. to the moon one month in the good it will be a. good needed. it. i did.

and it was a god. not the. love hath good in god you can put it. live. as it will. love you good. deal all the. was. opulent but wanted. didn't. hear about the little here. we needn't worry we'll be hearing a little bit about. the utility on.

the little guy. over there. i thought. i was raised in the military compound and i was born i'm a goodish majority but i've been hated i've been hated because as a majority our community opera's the minority is something i do it. i need to admit i was privilege been a military daughter i'm powerful even my step is powerful whatever i go out i got favor i can do whatever i want if i want to use in my father's power.

so everything is privilege and everything is just define you dissolve this privilege because you are british just because you do something good in your past life. of course we have clashes even inside the family they don't agree they asked me to stop saying bad words against the military because they are that all people if i cause or if i'm playing to the old people i will be in hell in the future. so when i exposed to the different wars when i explored with different stories so they gave me a new insights that i need to really stand up and use my model as the. majority ethnicity a majority religions to de-fund those were all press. so we got in the range of a crisis i feel a huge. budget because that's not just the room and rakhine

crisis it's the nation a crisis not just a nation a crisis a global crisis right now like to be solved but why that to happen me because the fear and you know the politicians know that like if you make people fear for something like the a religion has become sensitive it gets easier to create a conflict so it's become like us and political we are playing games using that religion and nationality and i didn't mean to cut you out of here you know the minister of religion he is actually from military that means he got to have some kind of similar ideologue to dislike mob bad ts recruit that by and l.t. you know but they want it done in the so-called shows that make the structure that he is walking and as a ministry all religion only for border. this

town in current state in the south east of me and mark is restricted foreigners and muslims forbidden. a minimal immunity at a game one day so money which a family go. to like that someone would know by got off the gong only at an age and then the. 2 of you have to go. by they will go to rome or the. danes. in a measure you know in a day and you're the one out on our job one night at. least i'm not going to be in your. life. and they have

a there was a lot it was added to a lot of. weird name and with his arm muscle did it got it so when i do you know i doubt he will. so i do call as only would it. be either when they had this us on the this or that one your dentist. dead beat up. today monks from across the country along with thousands of devoted he's have come to pay their last respects at the funeral of $1.00 of the region's most influential religious leaders political figures and other public personalities attend the event wear them about oz leader is given a position of prestige and authority. on this trip scores of heavily armed soldiers accompany him. deep down in amazingly no one a 10 year old who knew of our knowledge on our job one name is

a. stable one. millionaire bull. 000. teenage damian a deal. where. those say d.n.a. and the tinning name and of his in. the myanmar minister of religion is at great pains to justify his government's policies regarding the range of prices to them. explaining that any concessions were enacted reluctantly. me. and my. family.

and then. move on we are going to move. back. home you. don't move. about things start at all to get a lot of signatures on a petition. supporting. public all the. interfaith marriage

laws and think of them supports. a huge number and i think this was a way of trying to test the waters. this happens in the office is not. so in the fossett was the power of the gun and now it is the power of the vote and the legislature is we were dominated by the us to be body a. boss those walls. and so about the groove in strength. in the 2015 elections the really tried to play a political role. and to explain that we're too he has visited sri lanka. many times and i think is ame and his role model are the monks and nuns here at the park that are kind of.

and according to the new 3 like an institution. political party composed of buddhist monks is committed and then they also enter the election who got elected. most in 3 lanka because of the general emergency. the buddhist monks became very active in politics the same thing is repeated in your mind the political role the nationalist role and the colonial role you know. but i would say sri lanka was peds in politics so militant monks and extremist monks in yemen now look at sri lanka as a kind of role model. so little new power doesn't exist anymore you know the militia are gone so they have to find something. and. they say that the same

thing for the ministry they need evidence to justify their big budgets and their existence. is the law of evidence that made public that the military was supporting them about the law and the law is flush with cash but lots of money. who are to loot is also because adding funds for the budgets they say that you have to prepare yourself for the next elections. so in tradition there where i think any backing this set and candidates for election i think they will do the same thing in 2020 but on the biggest cayle. not any. not any. 2000 not.

even. then i. call stop results i got was not possible.

all right and good on the 7th because all of the software over lucian against the military system everybody wonders if everybody around him arrived everybody one democracy. one day the military. should lots of people on the street i feel so scary we've got i never saw a big kill each other from me. i fee so sucked and i feel so angry and same time. after that what can we do we have no power here now we're up on about the music music you can speak to use power to fight back we can screaming for the human right. person is why. should do among job. losses. mostly who hate islam the bed is their mum but. no other man

told me the 1st 6 months this is not religion this is a politic. by religion. i don't understand the policy shall we i only understand involved humanity i cannot change the war i'm going to change even my country i'm going to think myself around me does this. rule lose in cannot exist without love allusion with the lead this minute violence would also revolution you cannot see changing your suburb rouge in is a change must walk you in this time. out of the way the lord jesus said oh i'm really bored and they just don't know.

overnighting the sonia you know. phone and i don't. know buying 1000000 new job and i know young when it. hit the man in the office other fan out of anonymity double and i'm a mom that is on a. solid up with nothing going on to. the protection of buddhism and the current government inspired devotion among many of me and most people. but there are voices challenging the status quo there is an emerging dissenting youth movement calling for another revolution. for authorities it presents a new challenge. for others who say they want to preserve myanmar's fledgling democracy it offers a voice of hope. dad

was always feared the youth in the hope brought new ideas new concepts and who called friends with conservative people all these. 20 of us minimize doing the projects like the voice of the youth. we bring people together from different communities different religious backgrounds from music. so you know it is clearly that. they don't all want to see any more conflicts they want to be together they want to be peaceful they want to be developed you know they want to catch up with the war at they want to. they want to celebrate this freedom. so our job is to you know let them be aware of. i how they can influence the future.

she said of that. i will not say you have freedom of expression now. now we can see what i would want but it doesn't mean they would not unless you. feel. it. is just a new outfit by the same doc and since i. was out thanks thanks. thanks thanks. thanks. to. you are we going. to feed you and. we

feel we. feel. we. feel we are going to. feel we feel. we feel feel. we. we. we. we feel. we. feel we. need more.

i'm not a bad agent. oh and demoed you know my no one will know that i could be the. top dog. and i know ma. the minute we see someone that it would seem so we are. today. they are not i don't you know if you're going. to hold your own money what. you have to state your position on family at a time like this when a country is divided on these issues when she was on a very unglamorous very strong local you must add your voice against its soul by keeping silence i think you also. part of the picture that means you have also i

would say. you know why do we all would die for sure mom or. soul. everyone should stop questioning months. how money pertain. to just try our home i think. if we could do their back no wrong. the whole wrong is done. our lives so we will not hold laying about doctrine and. we will not create our own likes to visit our revolution.
