congresswoman under fire for backing racist conspiracy theories waits to hear the phase of her political career. as a world 1st the recipient of a full face and hand transplant is in recovery. there are reports that of arrests across man mas' protests against monday's military coup the pace social media is being restricted and the post leader aung san suu kyi faces charges and continued house arrest searches for governing party has called for a nationwide civil disobedience movement zeros after schapelle reports. medical workers walked off the job at yangon general hospital in the middle of a pandemic believing that this moment is too important to stay silent they wore red ribbons the color of bank sun tsu cheese national league for democracy which is quickly become a symbol of resistance. i meant no no this government was not elected by us so we

don't accept them or work under the command we stopped providing service at governmental hospitals instead will provide free medical services by outside doctors and other alternative services so that there are no problems for the public in this way we're conducting civil disobedience. medical staff in mandalay did the same responding to calls from a group calling itself the civil disobedience movement staff at 70 hospitals participated according to the group's facebook page have it where we are just protesting peacefully by wearing this red ribbon we don't need to speak up to the only know that playing the ribbon is a sign of protest against the military government and the only want our elected government this is a message. facebook services were then cut off across mia mars telecom networks but that's not stopped people from being heard on wednesday prosecutors filed obscure criminal charges against state councilor on song suchi and her ally president

lenient the president's accused of breaching coronavirus measures on the campaign trail last year sue cheese charges stem from the possession of walkie talkies on song suchi has not been seen in public since her civilian led government was toppled international condemnation of her detention has been swift i think the charges filed against her are just compound the undermining of. the rule of law in myanmar and the democratic the democratic process 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 as president biden has said the military seizure is a direct assault on the country's transition to democracy and the rule of law so the calls have yet to make headway with the generals in charge but it's clear that

many members of the public are very angry and willing to tolerate a slide back into dictatorship and chapelle al jazeera. in the capital naypyidaw there's been a rally in support of the military coup crowds carried the flag of the armed forces and pictures of men on line the man who's now in power lines out of school hide the who's following those developments from chiang mai in neighboring thailand scald tell us more about those arrests. major what we know you know we've been kind of tracking this protest at the mandalay medical university over the last couple of hours you know the video that was posted on social media about 20 plus people out there protesting holding banners holding signs and then there are other posts information saying on social media saying that they were then broken up by police that wasn't in the video so we don't really know how it ended but part of it is coming clearer now and that is that at least 3 groups involved in the protests tracking that protest in mandalay have said that 3

people have been arrested so we have a couple of firsts today that is the 1st protest street protest against the coup that went out mentally and then we're seeing at least 3 people arrested those are the 1st arrests since this coup took place on monday facebook and other social media platforms been shut down or. disrupted what can we read into that. well it's a very big you know when you look at social media obviously it plays a massive role around the world but in specific countries it plays even a more elevated role and myanmar is one of those countries because of the 53000000 people in myanmar more than half are about half are on facebook a lot of reasons for that but partly because it's entry reentry into the world after 5 decades of military strong military control and really kind of closed off from the world so a lot of people in myanmar hopped into social media because it's something they you know an outside world reach is something they didn't have for

a while but that has now been restricted so a lot of people are concerned about communication between people within yemen who relied on social media but then also those in myanmar talking to family and relatives outside getting information to them outside so it's a great concern the government said that they had to shut it down the military had said they had to shut it down because there is dissent from ation being spread on facebook fake news they said and that was. working at against the stability of the country that's the rationale they used to shut down facebook they say it's going to least be shut down until february 7th that's causing more civil disobedience but i'd say in the country how much of a threat does the banging of pots and pans pose to the military. right now i mean what it does if that were to happen say 1520 years ago before me and i was really plugged back into the rest the world it really wouldn't have much of an impact but what the impact is now is millions and millions of people tens of

millions of people around the world are seeing these images now so obviously that has got to strike to the heart of what the military is trying to do and that is control the situation right now they've taken control of the country they need to try to they are going to work to try to control the people in reaction to their move so what we might be seeing over the coming days is you know exactly their mechanisms of controlling people and we're seeing that with these protesters being arrested it will be interesting to see what happens with the the peaceful resistance that's going on like the people out banging pots and like the people honking their horns or singing or the health care workers who've gone on strike you know their their social movements their political movement so how is the government how is the military going to react to that and all eyes are watching right now again it's much different than what they had before the military and that's when there are still very isolated nation now the world is watching is there a school highly reporting live from china my buddy thanks to its goals.

see lies or things that are patently false but trying to figure out how you systematically judge that and if you outsource it to a group of fact checkers you know one of the common criticisms is who fact checks the fact checkers and these complicated topics are rarely yes or no answers i mean it's one thing to say that the world is flat versus the world is round you i think there is enough scientific consensus where most people will agree with you that the world is not flat but when you talk about issues such as election fraud climate change coronavirus these are extraordinarily complex topics that are not very well suited to simple yes or no answers or this is factual this is not the key difference with social networks though is these algorithms right i think most people don't really sit down and think that what i see on tick tock and what you see on tick tack tick tock are 2 completely different things or twitter or facebook or really almost any social network those algorithms are constantly curating and cultivating content to present to me to present to you to present everybody individually and that ends up creating a filter bubble and

a reinforcing loop so that if you start to consume content that is of dubious truth will say or outright misinformation you'll get more of it and then the content creators who produce that content are rewarded with greater reach and so there's very much a reinforcing a self reinforcing cycle that when you start to consume that kind of content you're going to get more of it i'm out in the us has received the 1st successful full face and double hand transplant 80 percent of job to me as body was burned during a car accident in 2018 doctors that and more you learn go on medical center so that after 23 hours of surgery to me you can get his life back the surgery happened last august but they've waited until now to make sure the transplants weren't rejected. as soon as i saw for the 1st time i feel. this is this is my face now i just went along with it and i just i just kept on with it straight on board with it you know
