risk that comes with the job. we follow the journey of these people as they get there to survive. risking it all. on al-jazeera. this is al jazeera. it's just gone 10100 hours g.m.t. here on al-jazeera hello i'm come all santa maria welcome to the news our. party says its offices were raided and documents was stolen in monday's military coup and we've just learned the police there filed charges against unsung suchi and asked for her to be remanded in detention for the next 2 weeks coming up live update from

young girl also in the news 3 opposition parties in ethiopia claim as many as 50000 civilians have died in the 2 great conflict. soaring code infections in lebanon and now a severe shortage of medical supplies puts people in even greater risk. the games have to be safe for each state called the group for each participant and olympic organizers outlined their plan to ensure a safe event but there are just 6 months to go. and on time how much now have all the sport manchester united the club called premier league victory with a 9 year old lashing the old 1000 red shirt with the cabinet. we are starting with me and ma this hour we have just learned the ousted leader unsung suchi will go into detention for the next 2 weeks that happened just after

his party says they are officers were raided and documents were taken during monday's military coup while this is happening there's a civil disobedience movement growing as well over the removal of the democratically elected government and update in a moment from yangon 1st this report. some cut it up as on the on. from shock to anger. the military coup in myanmar has sparked public displays of outrage with people banging pots and pans over night and its biggest city young gaunt 2 days after the takeover that ousted on songs which she and her government calls for civil disobedience mostly online are growing i doctors and nurses and at least 30 towns have gone on strike to oppose the coup an act of defiance with potentially dangerous consequences in a country with one of south asia's highest coronavirus death tolls but there are still reluctance to protest openly some analysts say what happens over the next

week could to find the country's political future for years to come right now i go you know if you will. a planning something big you know i think if i care for that we go from a box. either this happens in the next or 5 days our it will just media military vehicles now lined the streets of major cities in a country still adapting after years of military rule for dissidents were silence and opponents arrested protests carry high risks on wednesday morning the government run newspaper published a warning urging people to not oppose the coup. at the moment people are buying the newspapers to know the latest but i don't think they'll keep buying it later on when photographs of military leaders begin to appear on the cover some say it's gusting to see. me on mars elected leader and head of the national league for

democracy on santucci won a landslide victory in elections in november following a large loss of parties favored by the military that declared the election frangela and now the head of the army is running the country. amid mounting international criticism people are now wondering whether their country's brief experience of democracy has perhaps come to an end cards hello this is going on al-jazeera. the latest now with a young horse one of the few foreign journalists actually based in me in my alley what more can you tell us on the stage. well we have. filed charges against him and the president and we've seen some documents from the police requesting the court to keep them under a monitor for the next 2 weeks for the uncensored cine the charge is under the import export act will be having it have his actual communication

devices and full the president when you needed the charges are under the national disasters and all that code restrictions basically and that's not. during be. election campaign. when campaigning was banned because gathering in large numbers was banned at the moment on the. gathering with people but a convoy and supporters drove past in cars and bikes past the president's house to show their support to him and he came out to greet them and it's not that they think is that is the breach that they are. bearing to in these charges we don't know what the communications of primitives the import export act is in the tory asleep they could be anything from a fax machine to a it's in tourist law because it was used under the full military regime all the

time to imprison political prisoners pretty much anything that isn't registered or that you haven't registered in the government and you bring it into the country that has even been imported. by a shop that the shop doesn't have if you get charged on that it's a notorious and dangerous there was a lot of criticism for the end of the not having changed that law when they came into power because so many of them members have been imprisoned under it and that the irony is that. has been held on. movement now. on the street. on how much it could grow given the huge military presence that. i think it it's there is likely to be some more happening we've already seen government stop will stop with me the government will nations including the hospitals any amount saying

that they are not going to go to what they refuse in to us come to the military 70 different hospitals and medical clinics have joined in with this campaign of a movement for civil disobedience as it's been cold and are refusing to what i think what they're trying to show the military regime is that they are not willing to pull them if they want to run the you know if they want to take over the country they're going to find some have to find someone else and i think that's what they're saying what the doctors are saying is that the medical stuff and we are united also this is one area where we can show it is not and also a very important area this is going to be catastrophic for the country if the if this continues and i think that hoping that it will push the military into retracting the truth that obviously in the meantime it's got the potential to do it huge amount of damage the government hospitals here not only responsible for treating patients but also a measure to cases they have

a lot of very little amount of a quick meant here but high quality medical treatment is rare in myanmar and the government hospitals have some of the few machines feel very serious and if you have a stroke or something you have to go to a government hospital to get a proper scan you can't go to a private clinic they just don't have the facilities so don't do the saying they're going to keep treating people but obviously that's going to have a huge impact whether it pushes the military into doing something she seems unlikely but we'll see maybe it will push them to the limits how they fall with that update on the changing situation and me and molly thank you. we move on to ethiopian on a group of opposition parties in the region have said more than 50000 civilians have been killed in the conflict between regional separatists and the ethiopian army it's not clear where that estimates come from but in the past the ethiopian government is actually said federal forces haven't killed any civilians access to

the region has been severely limited since the fighting broke out in november but witnesses report people have been caught in the crossfire and some have been starving as well malcolm web following this one for us from nairobi malcolm if you got some more provenance on this exactly what these opposition parties are saying to the queues the ethiopian government forces of blindly bombarding towns and villages destroying them killing civilians in the process they've accused the government of using food and hunger as a weapon against the civilian population they say that the government forces have killed millions of heads of livestock they've burned crops this is caused a hunger crisis is that 6000000 people more than 6000000 are in need of humanitarian aid as a result of the government we contacted the prime minister spoke person who directed us to the government's social media accounts and one of them said that

numbers of civilian these high numbers of civilian deaths being reported in international media were unsubstantiated and politically motivated and they said also that twitter account that the government regrets any civilian deaths and they hadn't actually found a significant number now all of these claims and counterclaims are very difficult to verify because there's still massive restrictions on access for journalists for humanitarian workers throughout the region malcolm webb in nairobi thank you. and now william davison with us as well in nairobi a senior ethiopia analyst at the international crisis group i think it's malcolm's point is really important the fact that information is hard to actually get out of there that said do you think this huge inflation in numbers we see is actually possibly quite accurate. $52000.00 figure is seems likely to be. a significant overestimate but it is very hard to tell.

just i think one thing to note is this number in need of food aid almost must be inflated because that number is larger than degrees estimated pre conflict population therefore we might assume that the livestock figures that is based figures and the fatality figures are also significant over estimates that said there have been widespread reports of atrocities against civilians initially against that to great forces and then against the other hard for sins against the ethiopian government forces including due to shelling of residential areas and particularly against the eritrean forces that have been party to this come so all these people who are going hungry some risk of starvation what prospect for them if the region is so tightly controlled you know how does help get to them. well that's i think possibly the most critical issue at the moment we have

a situation where there is ongoing conflict and insecurity again we can't be sure about how widespread or how intense that is the federal government of course says that the conflict is over therefore it says that there is no areas of degree really that are held by ground forces and it says it's handling a distribution itself but this means that there is a continued lack of access to international aid agencies and we have these very alarming figures that perhaps. 2 thirds of degrees entire population may need a possibly a 3rd is dissipated these are figures coming from officials appointed by the federal government to run tick rate in the interim but we do not have the access to the international aid agencies that seem to be necessary to respond to a humanitarian crisis of this scale and this could be i suspect an easily forgotten conflict it had an acute point a few months ago but the type of thing which could easily slip off the radar. or to

some extent it already has and i think when the federal government comes out and claims to have won the conflict and the enemy has been defeated when it took hold of the regional government apparatus the regional capital of the 28 november a lot of international media coverage does drop off at that point but there is still some form of ongoing conflict large areas of gray still seem to be inaccessible and because of that ongoing conflict in addition to the atrocities that are being reported we also have this very critical humanitarian situation so it really is important that maximum attention is given to this issue and then everyone does whatever they can to alleviate the suffering of the people in ukraine and in davis and from international crisis group thank you for your time we do appreciate it thank you. 13 minutes past this news hour here is what's coming up world health organization investigate his visit a virus in the chinese city where covert 19 was 1st identified. the man who saved

the eurozone also save italy from its political turmoil and small we'll find out how this rising n.b.a. star is setting a new record the details with santa a little later in the program. so let's take you through some coronavirus updates now china 1st of all which says it will provide 10000000 doses of its vaccine as part of an initiative to supply poorer countries chinese state companies son of farm and sign of have both developed vaccines are also being administered in several other countries including brazil and the united arab emirates also inspectors from the world health organization of now visited the institute in han where the corona virus was 1st identified the team is investigating the origins of covert 19 it's arriving last month have conducted interviews with people from research institutes hospitals and the seafood market which was linked to the outbreak more now from katrina you on

that team's mission she's in beijing. they were there for a few hours today since that morning there is intense interest in this site when not sure exactly what kind of information access they've been given there but of course this isn't very important lab it's the focus point of much controversy because the trump administration when it wasn't power allege that corvette 19 in fact leaked from this lab now we haven't seen any evidence of that but it is true that this lab has the highest level of biosecurity in china and inside a number of dangerous pathogens were being studied including coronaviruses that had been transmitted from animals this is a very politicized mission china's very worried about the results and how we look to the international community everything in this mission since they began their field work has been highly stage managed since many countries have pointed blame at china accusing them of not being transparent now china's foreign ministry have

rejected those criticisms and indeed members of the team who have spoken to the media since the field work has began say that the trip is going quite positively they're happy with what they've seen so far they've been taken to a number of sites including some of the 1st hospitals which housed some of those 1st coronavirus patients they've also seen the meet in seafood market where the 1st cluster of coven 1000 was identified and they said that they are seeing doctor and information previously on revealed and that they do feel that they are making some headway in their investigations to finding out the origin of this pandemic well the world health organization is listing lebanon in the highest risk stages of the corona virus pandemic a 3rd of all cases identified in the past you have been detected in just the last month despite the lockdown the soaring number of cases is that the country with a shortage of medical supplies as well as supporters from say no farther. the calls are endless every single day of the week at whatever time day or night melissa runs

a non-governmental organization that has redirected its resources to providing oxygen supply to coronavirus patients at home there is what doctors call an uncontrolled pandemic in lebanon and. i had a gentleman call me at 1130 at night on saturday crying on the phone because of his father and i had to explain to him i physically do not have a machine right now please wait until we get a machine and he's like my father can't wait there is a shortage of machines to provide patients with oxygen leading to more appeals on social media for help we have a lot of patients receiving. less and less patients being admitted to hospital because this is. the red cross has been at the front line of this battle. volunteers have transported more than 5000 patients to hospitals in the past few weeks 4 times more than last year and there are many more on

a waiting list. some of the 1st. big number of critical patients so they can get. some hospitals are using shipping containers to treat patients in the parking lot while others have suspended non emergency treatment. health experts say registered one of the world's worst surges in salary for the size of its population which is close to $7000000.00 including one and a half 1000000. more than 100000 cases were detected in the past month that's one 3rd of all cases identified in the past year. many countries have dealt with beds shortages and the need to prioritize care but lebanon's health sector was already weak from years of neglect and a collapsing economy a high number of cases for sure let go day and all that is for it so that we have

to look at me with the not that it's the time would we need to it and move every patient to give it but i'm not that patient more than living but if we continue like i think when we were there. a 3 week 24 hour curfew has brought numbers down but it's not enough and the daily worry of not being able to find a place in hospital or get access to oxygen supplies hasn't gone away. beirut across latin america leaders are struggling to control the surgeon coronavirus cases which continue to overwhelm medical services there in mexico ambulances are being forced to wait for hours to find open beds if one can be found at all and supplies are limited as well the russian sputnik vaccine has been approved for use in mexico or similar story in peru where people are sleeping outside medical facilities to make sure they can get access to walk the demand has put many families in debt with some force to spend more than 2 years salary to help their

loved ones. and in japan organizers for the delayed tokyo olympics have laid out their plan to ensure the games which is scheduled to start in july are safe the international olympic and paralympic committees and their japanese hosts have been developing coronavirus countermeasures on tuesday japan's prime minister extended a state of emergency for 10 regions to try to stop the spread of covert 19 just as parliament colleagues see i.p.c. and choky of choice 20 in consultation with tax experts have been working night and day 247 to develop a robust plan i'm sure to protect every game stakeholder and importantly the japanese people over the last 12 months every single aspect of the games has been meticulously evaluated in terms of covert 19 consequently we believe we can stage the games safely and give the world something to look forward to this summer so we

can have a quick look at some of the safety measures which olympic will geysers of laid out in what they are calling a playbook for athletes it's really interesting singing and chanting won't be allowed in order to protect the athletes but clapping is permitted participants must submit their itinerary to japanese authorities they must present a negative coded $900.00 tests they have to download the government's tracing app as well athletes also won't be able to use public transport without permission and repeated failure to comply with the playbook rules may see athletes expelled from the day. with us now from bath in the u.k. talked about who is a specialist in emergency preparedness and planning also a senior clinical lecturer at the university of exeter medical school dr thank you for your time i think there's a whole question about you know whether it's even worth going ahead with games that will be so compromise that this but from your expert opinion on controlling an event like this what do you actually make of the measures that are being made out.

there are weaknesses along the and chain of setting up the games i know we will hear positive noises from the international olympic committee i know i love the international olympics i really do but having said that i think it is a high risk event because on the one hand we put in the regulations but when you have got hundreds of thousands of people who come into your country from all over the world it is very very difficult to control monitor and do the surveillance and keep everything under control it will be amazing if they can pull it off so from a medical perspective do you think. well put it this way that the number one aim is to stop the spread of covert 19 and stop people getting infected are there measures in place that can do that by not singing and chanting for example well these are what we would call heracles known known stops that you can prevent some of the

infections from spreading but we will never ever be able to say and therefore we have 100 percent control measures in place which will work there are so many weaknesses along the chain so i look at it as if it was a conveyor about of witnesses and at every point public transport that testing the compliance the crowd being the coming into the stadium leaving the stadium except for at every critical point there are weaknesses and on a large scale event like this in the middle of a pandemic it's very difficult to control and yet there is this determined nature to go ahead with the the the olympics i mean as you say you enjoy the olympics we all if we had think we'd all enjoy the distraction of 2 weeks of of really great sport to watch but it's hard to see what the point of going ahead with it. i totally agree with you and you know i filed by even saying that i wish the olympics

2020 to be postponed because i love them so much but in terms of global how about wealth and safety i think this is a high risk event and it would be more pragmatic to say electors see what global health is doing now that the vaccines have started to roll and take take a read about how well they actually the performing and then consider the games a year after but that's my opinion and we value your opinion. joining us from bath today thank you thank you good morning. more than 1400 people have reportedly been arrested in protests against the court ruling to send russian opposition leader alexei navalny back to jail. the court says he violated the probation terms of an earlier conviction. though

from the news here at al-jazeera and these are our top stories police in me and ma have filed charges against the ousted leader and son they are seeking to detain her for 2 weeks for breaching an import export law according to police documents which the army took power in a military coup and monday. opposition parties in ethiopia's to get a region say more than 50000 civilians have been killed in the 3 months of conflict the ethiopian government is yet to respond but in the past it's denied that its forces have killed any civil rights and the spectre's in the world health organization of visited of around the g institute in the chinese city of work on course for the corona virus was 1st identified the team has spent the last month investigating the origins of cope with 19. we're going to stay with coronavirus

news the african continent unfortunately far behind the rest of the world when it comes to fighting over 196 of the top 10 countries in the world with the fastest rising infections are in africa the mortality rate from covert 9 teams also higher than the rest of the world sitting at 2 and a half percent compared to a global average of 2.2 percent there is some positive you know the african union's secured a deal for another $400000000.00 doses of the astra zeneca vaccine though it could take up to 3 months to vaccinate 60 percent of the continent's population which is the threshold needed for vaccines to work so let's take you around the continent now will start in south africa which received its 1st shipment of a 1000000 vaccines but of course we have that new south african variant which has contributed to a steep increase for the hardest hit country in africa malawi taking a beating as well cases there have doubled in just a few weeks. guinea is the only low income nation to actually have access to the

vaccines but to date only $25.00 people have received their shot and the seychelles a high income country which was the 1st african nation to start a national banks and nation campaign so it varies doesn't it right across the continent we're going to talk to john king who is the director of the africa center the centers for disease control and prevention is on skype from at us and we thank you very much for your time. as i go through and there is statistics it doesn't sound great does it but we must always remember it's a big continent there are varying levels of economy size of population size it is going to be a very big effort right across. indeed it is going to be. historic probably heard effort that a country has never encountered since the independence. as we have stated before is to be able to vaccinate up to about 60 percent of

a population drought sheave population i mean it's you or what is commonly called hurt you i mean if you. are making progress despite all the challenges at the us you at least catered to continue and we have secured about 700000000 doses of those vaccines and they come from variety of sources you heard 2 weeks ago a press that i'm opposed. to african union made a statement that we need to secure 270000000 doses of vaccines and subsequently. 500000000 doses of vaccine from. india so i think we have given up towards that and then we also hope that to go that would infer through to quebec. which prison truly is symbol of cooperation on sort of dirty would be able to meet a continent needs so is it a coordinated effort a sort of think about how we look at the european union in the way it is supposed

to be buying in vaccines and coordinating things across the union is there a way to do that as well in africa is that where the african union gets involved. that is the exactly where we get involved the african union is coordinating this effort through the africa centers for disease control and prevention and the person i'm up was. what we called the african vaccine acquisition task team in abbreviation. and this is a team that is bringing together. disciplined set of people including people like. benedict. ministers to really drive the process in a coordinated fashion approaches 0 it's been what we call it the whole of africa approach which is that really no country. i wonder. are you facing any problems with people who are reluctant to take up the vaccine because it is an

issue there are people all over the world who don't believe in vaccines or who are just a bit cautious about them especially one that's been developed in such short time is that an issue which is strike in africa. it is issue everywhere and we should recognize that their community has the right to know more about theirs vaccines. but it is up to probably had experts and leadership to continue train gets a community in a manner that we can explain. as i'm concerned that they have we the africa c.d.c. have conducted a. national study in gay including 15 member states. of a 15000 people and we are very encouraged. septum of a vaccine it will be range from about 60 percent through 90 percent so we're very encouraged. there's work to be done but of the septum. which means

that we need me to mobilize the community and conduct in the next month what i would call it being for cindy tricity on the continent these vaccines are safe would be good for us a person to take their vaccine once we do get of a labor under country and but again we have to recognize that when they have a few years. respect we must address those concerns and fears. john tanko song is the director of the africa centers for disease control and we thank you very much for your time so thank you one look at pakistan as well which has begun its national backs a national campaign a day after receiving half a 1000000 donated doses of china's sign of fun vaccine a country says it plans to vaccinate 70 percent of its high risk population by the end of this year or from come a hotter in islamabad. the national command an operation center had been d.

note sender of the back against their own why race and of course every day they had meetings with their scotch and see what is happening across the country as far as the spread of this pandemic is going to show progress on had received its 1st batch of 500000 soldiers of the sino farm vaccine i get from china but you start it so i'm free to meet up on your hockey status at our college friends it's a priority a lot of corporations novak sense of actually to from chinese government has a right to be talking sign on top to allow status it's the 1st country universe to receive the chinese government doesn't get back to the bush people could get storage at will be held. as red as the old with the age of 65 where the more value to date is quite high i think it's my place here to look down and became the 1st taken in haiti for my colleagues and my fellows come and

get $1618.00 against a well we don't mean because i think it is that essential for what has get better ideas will get the 60 nations buggers on her guard ready recordable 500 dollars and gates says of the cairo no wires and has been reporting over a 1000 cases per day by day as whole because by your standards also one of the 5 countries where their trials are underway for there can be no biologic rack which of course is reporting a lot of promise the very important facts on the have been getting out a very effective campaign to curtail the spread of disease as well as keeping livelihoods alive for things having problems but obviously that seems with are going to play a very very critical part in providing that safety as you go forward also today is a very significant day in every problem. the vaccination drive has been started at

the same time. that it may be able to get protection right now or. any foreign minister. who. is indeed. contracted to get the. 17000000. 1000000. mark the next few months will be critical. and it will be important to the. vaccine. us president joe biden has faced delays and deadlock in his push to get children back into schools in his 1st 100 days and chicago some 62000 students and 10000

teachers were expected to return to their classrooms on monday but that has been stalled he said negotiations on covert 900 safety measures as many teachers wait to get their maxine's support from john hendren. as chicago demands teachers go back to school teachers like tammy vinson fear their classrooms could become super spreading incubators for covert 19 a lot of kids could be asymptomatic so it could i could have it and i could go to school in inadvertently pass it on to a student they in turn could go home and pass on to their grandmother or their medically fragile uncle or their parents so yeah absolutely one person who wants teachers back in class is president joe biden the president wants to not only reopen the schools he wants the schools to stay open another issue mayor lori lightfoot who has threatened a virtual lock out that would barred teachers from access to the online instruction they've been using she says the kids deserve better fertik. really are black and

brown kids are falling behind in las vegas the superintendent of clark county schools says 19 students have committed suicide since virtual schooling began in march. kids reaching our. hero in school in washington state high school junior lilly via says the end of in person classes has driven up her anxiety and always have some land is equally next to me how i'm just with my cat in my room one issue in chicago and elsewhere is that teachers for the most part want to receive their vaccinations before they come back but for many it could be weeks or even months before they receive their doses . i am so ready even after they do no one knows what normal will look like i don't know if. the desire to get back to what was what was pre-planned to make israel

reasonable because i don't think it's going to happen. a once in a century shock to the education system she says might leave lingering consequences john hendren al-jazeera chicago. people are marching to the capital in solidarity with protesting farmers to denounce a crackdown on the 10s of thousands of agricultural workers been rallying against the new laws which they say will make them much worse off recently security has been stepped up against the. hundreds of people have gathered in the center of new delhi and to march. they say in support of the hundreds of thousands protesting on the street with a very large police presence police and. telling them that they don't have permission to protest that there was a pandemic and that no more than 4 people are allowed to gather there police buses standing by to take people away there's also

a lot of water cannon standing by but the people who have come out say that this is exactly why they hear this because of what they called police. and the government repression against protesters now since there was some between protesters and police on republic day last week have a respite around a 160. charges of writing sedition attempted murder against foreign union leaders also built. security barricades around 3 protest sites today the government of the state of which is the biggest protest site to pre-sell from the border of delhi and. tricity which is a huge concern because there are many tens of thousands of people staying there internet services have been for days at the protest site but despite all of the police action. protesters have only been mobilized many. alleve in their
