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 feared the military would then use that to extend the coup and legitimize it saying when cited violence we have to avoid that political trap. the announcement follows public displays of outrage against the coup with people banging pots and pans. calls for civil disobedience are gaining momentum. and the arrow are there 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 i think 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 elected leader and head of the national league for democracy on science which he won a landslide victory in elections in november following a large loss of parties favored by the military that declared the election fraudulent 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. this with a gun charges era well the u.s. state department says the coup is a direct assault on the country's transition to democracy the rule of law. we are aware of reports that state council and some suit cheap and president win yet have been charged with crimes and the national league for democracy members of parliament have been ordered to vacate nappa top. we are disturbed of course by

these reports we call on the military to immediately release them all and all detained civilian and political leaders journalists and detained human rights activists and to restore the democratically elected government of power. is an international human rights lawyer he was also sue cheesey legal counsel in the years before she came to power he says she won't get a fair trial in the in the military have completely abandoned the rule of law. no they're looking for an excuse but even their own excuses don't meet their own stated constitution that the military put in place you know the constitution says on the plea that only the president and declare a state of emergency but the president can only be impeached removed from office by the parliament which they stopped from meeting on monday so you know the their attempt to replace the president with an acting president and then to have him declare a state of emergency is alter virus and illegal the police in myanmar report actually to the military and therefore any charges against her or anyone else are flagrantly

illegal in violation not just of the myanmar constitution its own laws but international law as well these are pretextual charges that are totally fabricated you can't even believe necessarily that they even found any walkie talkie and in her in her home as he's been charged with but again as i said regardless these are charges that themselves are illegal because they're coming from a legal authority in yemen or you would not and will not get a fair trial and that usury is not impartial you know or independent and now with the military junta back in charge i'm confident that you'll be convicted of these charges obviously she needs to put on a defense locally and work with many of her lawyers for many many years and undoubtedly they'll do the best that they can but again you know there is no question any objective observer what's going on here and of course you know there will be the opportunity to take her case to an international tribunal united

nations for example the united nations working group on arbitrary detention which found multiple periods of her house arrest previously to be illegal and it violation of international law but there's all this has to get all politically this is not going it's all through the courts in myanmar were brought in there are a number of other things that can be done you know i think you know one of the most important things is to sanction the 2 conglomerates that are owned by the myanmar military there are 2 massive companies that they owned. and run and have offer. revenue from that sells across many different sectors of society on more than 100 companies and so i think so actually in those 2 companies that they can't get as much money directly as many of these companies have joint venture banking surance with the international community that would be very very helpful and then another thing would be to really press for the u.n. security council to. institute a global arms embargo on myanmar and to work for the situation e.m.r. to the international criminal court it will be much harder to achieve because of

china and russia sitting at security council but ultimately i think we have. the kind of extreme set up to ensure poor countries get equal access to corona virus vaccines has unveiled its distribution plans for the coming months the scheme backed by the global vaccine alliance the world health organization and the un's children fund is aiming to purchase $2000000000.00 doses by the end of 2021 as of now they've secured $330000000.00 doses to be distributed in the 1st half of this year these will mostly consist of the oxford astra zeneca vaccine well that would cover around 3.3 percent of the total populations of the $145.00 countries participating but kovacs wants to ensure countries are able to vaccinate at least 20 percent of their populations pfizer biotech has pledged up to $40000000.00 doses in the next few months china has announced a plan to provide $10000000.00 coronavirus vaccine doses while india's seram
