alliance for coronavirus vaccines rolls out his plans. a group of ethiopian opposition politicians says 50000 people have died in to gray in the fighting between separatists and the security forces. and italy has a new prime minister the former european central bank chief mario draghi vows to steer the country out of recession caused by the pandemic. i'm satisfied out of plenty of sports coming out the 6 teams from 5 continents get ready to take on to refuse help of copycats out amid strict 19 restrictions. there have been symbolic displays of anger against the military coup in myanmar after calls for nationwide civil disobedience people in myanmar as big a city are banging pots and pans for a 2nd night in a row but there are

a few signs of major street protests earlier the police did file charges against aung sun suu kyi and the ousted president. explains. military vehicles patrol the streets of myanmar they are the reminder the coup may be over but hits against alstad leader on sung switchy and her government continue police have filed charges against her for allegedly importing radios illegally an accusation they will have retained until february 15th some members of her party the national league for democracy now gather in a temporary office and young gone after their headquarters they say were raided now they are telling the people who support the army are celebrating but if we go out onto the streets there would be a clash it would be chaos we fear the military would then use that to extend the coup and legitimize it saying we incited violence we have to avoid that political truck. the announcement follows public displays of outrage against the coup with

people banging pots and pans. calls for civil disobedience are gaining momentum. in the arab league and i really want to we join the protests banging pots until they were bent out of shape it was the only thing we were able to do at the moment we want the international community to be aware of the situation because in terms of power we can't fight back against the military. doctors and nurses and at least 3 towns have gone on strike to oppose the coup an act of defiance with potentially dangerous consequences in a country with one of southeast asia's highest coronavirus steps towards but there are still reluctance to protest openly some analysts say what happens over the next week how people react could define the country's political future for years to come right now i go you know if. a planning something big you know.

my guess is that we go from a box. either this happens in the next or 5 days our it will just move there. here protests carry high risks for years myanmar was ruled by the military dissidents were silenced and opponents arrested on wednesday morning the government run newspaper published a warning urging people to not oppose the coup me on mars a leftist leader and head of the national league for democracy and science which he won a landslide victory in elections in november following a large loss of parties favored by the military they declared the election frontal and now the head of the army is running the country. and mounting international criticism people are now wondering whether their country's brief experience of democracy has perhaps come to an end. to all of this with a young al-jazeera ok let's bring in michael that he sees the asia direct

for the center for humanitarian dialogue he joins us from singapore michael welcome to the news are banging pots and pans we're describing it as being symbolic can it ever go beyond symbolism well i think it's clear that people are very angry i think the question is what is the strategy for any organized protest and my guess would be that the n l d itself and the protest potential protest leaders but probably hoping that they can lol the military into a cold sense of security after a matter of a couple of weeks or so and then begin the protests because coming out straight away would be probably a foolish act but there's no doubt that these pot banging the 2 nights now and probably will continue to indicate the very high degree of public anger what does the military do with unk son suchi in 234 weeks' time. well you know as you've

seen they've they've brought trumped up charges on a very very minor but nonetheless you know tangible offenses because they i think were originally or perhaps hoping that they could charge it with something larger like treason but you know as we've seen in the past it's very difficult to sort of to fit those charges into a legal framework and i think what they've done is they've come up with these relatively minor trivial offenses but will nonetheless be offenses that they can charge her with she did have a symbiotic relationship with the military over the past few years i guess it be fair to say that was there any indication over the last year or so that that relationship was beginning to go downhill and end in the way that it's ended well i think for the last 5 years people have been worried ever since the 2015 elections that the civil military relationship was not being handled well i mean she was

having a very difficult time maintaining a working relationship with the head of the army ming auline she was very stiff in front of him there were very few meetings i think only one in the last year and there was no sort of camaraderie or or sort of socialization with the military and it made it very very difficult to actually engage the military at a working level and i think that's true that that's that's been the deterioration for the last 5 years does that mean though michael that the military has been waiting 5 years to do this. i suspect not i think that the plans would have been laid a couple of years ago or more but i think what really. cost the die was the fact that they military party us d.p. lost very badly in the elections that the army then called out fraud and then the n l d and the civilian government did nothing to address those allegations and i think that was a slippery slope towards

a negotiation that failed and ultimately led to the coup trying to maintain this kind of post grip on a country it never works it always eventually fails can this military sustain what it's planning on doing however i mean is this military coup different to all the other military coups that we've seen well i think the memo military will look to thailand where of course you've had a relatively successful path from coup to military controlled government an election that was held almost a couple of years ago that then installed the military leaders as an elected government and i think they're looking at the thai constitution and the installation of non-elected upper house members of the senate and thinking well maybe we can do it that way because thailand has had a tried and tested part towards ensuring military government and also made it more

acceptable and i think that's past what the haps what the myanmar military is looking at ok we must leave it there michael but here it is there in singapore good to talk to michael thank you very much thank you peter. now the global alliance to distribute vaccines to the poorer nations is aiming to inoculate 200000000 people by the end of june the un led kovacs scheme says is on track to supply 2300000000 doses by the end of the year most of the doses expected for the 1st phase will come from the british swedish drug maker astra zeneca and its partner sarah institute of india today we are pleased to announce the conclusion of a long term supply agreement with the serum institute of india for the coke 19 vaccines to access to vaccine products through technology transfer from astra zeneca and nova vax unicef along with our procurement partners including power hope

will have access to up to $1100000000.00 doses of vaccines for around $100.00 countries for approximately $3.00 a dose for the low end lower middle income country as an employee mean is an advocates on banks anything africa and the director of a med bios has a medical biotechnology lab he says kovacs has taken a big step towards fair distribution of the vaccine. i think it's great news actually because last week's we were given actually through nightmare scene like at all the doors as go into rich countries and lower and lower income countries get in nothing so now i think that the new rich or unicef through the corps parks in this if it's bigger than they think we have to talk about the go be the start of this initiative many years ago through the gates foundation and now it think through

would lots of struggling maybe soon this countries will get to the doors is that i'm still here waiting for them grim and taishan it's easy to say that we can guarantee and the to have the girls as but i think until we see it in africa we will have to wait i think which is a really nice in the government and the unicef initiative and the advocates of the kovacs initiative and just seeing that the forward who are should be able actually for this year to vaccinate at least 20 percent of the population and boxing or the people at risk if we do it the mortality will go down and we can go to the feast true we can go to the other range or of age to get the maximum of the population pakistan started its national vaccination campaign a day after receiving off a 1000000 donated to suits of china's center farm vaccine the government says it plans to vaccinate 70 percent of its high risk population by the end of this year

very significant day in every problem. back to nation started the scene. that it may be able to give protection right now or. any foreign minister. who helped. get the. 1000000. the next. critical battle against corona and it would be important to be. able to go back. plenty more still to come here. to support the. extreme winter weather displaced syrians already

struggling to stay. in. the. position party's in ethiopia's tikrit region says more than 50000 civilians have been killed in the conflict between regional separatists and the ethiopian army the estimate hasn't been independently verified in the past the ethiopian government federal forces have killed any civilians access to the region has been severely limited since fighting broke out in november if the o.p.'s government has responded to the opposition's allegations through a twitter account that it says does a fact checking for the region it says reports of assessments of civilian casualties that's being circulated in various international media. are

unsubstantiated and suffer from unfortunate political motives it goes on to say the fact that we have not found ourselves with significant civilian casualties is testament to the planning and professionalism of the ethiopian national defense force welcome web's in nairobi with more well 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 hunger crisis is 6000000 people more than 6000000 are in need of humanitarian aid as a result of the government we contacted the prime minister spoke the 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 on substantiated and politically motivated and they said also that twitter account did 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 the still massive restrictions on access for journalists for humanitarian workers throughout the ticker a region. malcolm webb reporter well regional violence erupted in northern region in november thousands were forced to leave their homes and access for aid agencies was cut off in january the u.n. reported a high number of rapes integrate soldiers are accused of sexually assaulting internally displaced people in exchange for basic commodities the u.n. also estimates nearly 2300000 people or nearly half of the to korean population as at risk of starvation and in need of emergency food aid let's talk now to forsee her he's a researcher for the horn of africa amnesty international he joins us on skype from

nairobi for tecla welcome to al-jazeera this is an astonishing figure do you believe it. when. we get more that off bob marley jane it's somebody that that's like the no exact city guess i know but if you guess right off the by that. city line if they could i start that in no way back there so they might have that there should age out all. right and make everybody have documented. i mean but i've see them at the ivy so that's sad but i better find them but it's and getting desolate scandals that i thought it was about is easy to do that they needed access. if you got in that

room somebody took you for them and in fact made so. we got a note that if the i'm this time but that's life you know that i was that if you can stand up and you assess it's. as we've been reporting thousands of people have been forced to leave their homes the villages the communities as far as we can tell do we know where those people have gone. yes and us a that's. not the same that all ice doesn't match have a few days i don't think he got it maybe. that's just the 1000 are being active getting sick at that and so now that's admitting that not he's basically been thinking i and that was that maybe i didn't i mean he didn't. but he just. says that in that case if he did the guy it's. a thing that you might

have done because he thought that if it was at any time that we didn't diminish your dad that he suspects that that then that stuff might extend him to give it to you at least a chance or i did and say insecurity so i'm dead so i think it's best that i and i book people something gets more than 2.5 maybe i can meet up in my area at some point or music that i have so yeah i got people out there that night and i did anybody that athletes and also that ok we'll leave it there. in nairobi thank you very much. and. well and 1400 people have reportedly been arrested in protests against a court ruling to send the russian opposition leader alexina volley back to jail.

the court says he violated the probation terms of an early a conviction while recovering in germany from that knee a fatal poisoning he will now spend more than 2 years behind bars the police have been out in force in moscow with the launches protons took place. there's been a bridge around the world the new u.s. secretary of state anthony blinken called the for the immediate and unconditional release of novelli and his supporters the u.k. foreign secretary dominic robb described the court ruling as perverse the german chancellor angela merkel said violence against peaceful demonstrators must stop staying in europe he was lauded for pulling the euro back from the brink the former head of the european bank has been asked to lead italy out of its political crisis as the new prime minister in the last few hours mario draghi agreed to form a new nonpolitical government to steer the country through the coronavirus pandemic italy has been struggling politically since prime minister conti resigned last week

his coalition broke up because it couldn't agree on coronavirus spending a conceptual it's of the emergency in light of this crisis the situation needs to be met with equal action with this hope indication except the call of the president to beat the pandemic to vaccinate our population to offer solutions to everyday problems of italians and to relaunch the country of the challenges we face. live to rome and my colleague our correspondent stephanie decker following this political story for us here on the news it's really needs stability with mario draghi does it have it. well he's currently trying to get the numbers together to be able to finally then give his words to president to say yes he'll do it what he said is he accepted it with reservations because i think he knows just how challenging italian politics can be as currently at the lower house of parliament talking to the head of parliament there he will be

heading to the senate as well and then he'll be talking to all the different parties involved to try and get a majority coalition in parliament in place so that he can actually govern as you say this is such a difficult time for italy many people saying here if you listen to the media and commentators that he may be the last choice peter it may be on mario draghi to try and get things sorted but again he's not a magician he may be an economist but this is a political the highest political pose that certainly will be a 1st for him italians don't generally feel that comfortable with technocrats governments they don't last very long in italy well italian government to last very long anyway but this is a unique scenario a unique crisis maybe he might be the best guy for that job. absolutely i think a lot of italians there are saying that no they're not a huge fan of technocrats people saying yes we should have elections but they understand that this is as you say a unique and unprecedented situation in a pandemic when you have you know the country with its highest public debt since

world war 2 private debt is huge so in that sense there is a lot of trust the stock markets have stabilized peter since the news that he was going to meet president. today so this is this is where they're at now is this the last choice because if he says no where do you go from there who's going to be the next man you got such just just like when it comes to the political parties and it really is also a lot of ego playing that many italians will say yes we're used to the governments coming and going as you say these countries that almost 70 governments in $7070.00 decades however now is not the time things really need to get sorted for example april they need to tell their opinion how they're going to spend over $200000000000.00 the vaccination campaign needs to go on oh there's so many things that need to be addressed so i think that's a priority now trying get a government in place that can actually govern stephanie thanks very much stephanie in rome washington has rejected iran's proposals to help the 2 nations return to

the 2015 nuclear deal the iranian foreign minister zarif had suggested the european union could facilitate a simple taney us return to the agreement by both sides said big reports. it appears a game of who acts 1st and right now neither the u.s. or iran are making a move the us has rejected an offer by iran for it to synchronize a return to the 2015 nuclear deal with the european union with iran for filling its commitments that could have allowed to both parties to save face internationally and at home but the u.s. says it's not ready to rejoin of course though we are a long way from that iran has distanced itself from compliance on a number of fronts and there are many steps in that process i mentioned a couple of them consulting with our allies consulting with our partners consulting with congress before we're reaching the point where we're going to engage directly with the iranians and willing to entertain any sort of proposal the iran deal was

one of the worst and iran began to reduce its commitments to the deal after former u.s. president donald trump pulled out and imposed sanctions on the country the u.s. sees iran's moves as a way of breaching the deal known as the joint comprehensive plan of action a view not shared by iran president has and rouhani says his country is waiting on the u.s. to right the wrongs of the trump era all muddy car yobbo you had made these americans must return to the resolution to international law and a resolution that was passed unanimously by the u.n. security council if we see good will gesture we will show it to you if we see actions will show it as well if we see commitment our response will be full commitment. in recent days iran has increased the number of advanced centrifuges at its main nuclear plant it allows the country to enrich uranium quicker and to a higher degree something that concerns western powers the e.u. is stuck in the middle urging both to talk but with little power to make that

happen. for now nothing has changed president joe biden's administration has not lifted sanctions imposed under trump and there's still considerable mistrust between the 2 countries aside big al-jazeera. u.s. president joe biden has signed a series of executive orders aimed at reversing donald trump's hardline immigration policies they include the creation of a task force to reunite hundreds of children separated from their families under mr trump 0 tolerance policy there will also be a review of the asylum process at the border with mexico. still to come here on the news hour for you off to soaring coded infections in lebanon there's now a severe shortage of medical supplies. to games have to be safe for each stakeholder groups for each participant olympics organizers outline a plan to ensure a safe event with less than 6 months to go in pakistan have a chance to break. that's lasted more than a decade and
