green has been removed from 2 committees a report on the unprecedented measures taken by a divided house. at the debate on whether to remove her from a committee positions at the house of representatives taylor green argued that all she was guilty of was querying established narratives i was allowed to believe things that weren't true and i would ask questions and questions about them and talk about them and that is absolutely what i regret because if it weren't for the face book post and comments that i liked in 2018 i wouldn't be standing here today among the viewpoints that she's expressed support for all of the q and on conspiracy theory and the belief that school shootings and $911.00 were hoaxes these were words of the path but she's also approved of exhortations to kill house speaker nancy pelosi as well as racist and anti-semitic tropes i did not hear a disavow meant or an apology for those things. i did

not hear an apology original it's been for the. the claim the insinuation that political opponents. should be. violently dealt with the motion to reconsider is laid on the table. the democrats are setting a precedent which privately some fear may be used against them if the republicans regain the house effectively demoting someone in the other party for comments made before he or she joined congress but in the case of marjorie taylor green they say they had no choice i remain concerned about house republicans leadership except of extreme conspiracy theorists but green received a standing ovation from republican colleagues at a meeting on wednesday night underscoring republican leader kevin mccarthy insistence that his party wants what he calls a big tent that includes the courtroom base the number one thing that happened in

the conference was unity donald trump remains the most popular figure in the republican party able to draw out grassroots turnout and draw in grassroots campaign contributions but ever since the storming of the capital more and more mainstream republican voters are growing easy with the viewpoints of that core base plus the republican leadership is well aware that donald trump's most vocal supporters are loyal to him and not of them shihab rattansi al-jazeera capitol hill . michael isikoff is the chief investigative correspondent at yahoo news if things action against green is a significant moment in american politics. there really isn't much precedent for what the house did today but on the other hand there's not much precedent for a congresswoman like marjorie taylor green who has espoused the most bizarre

conspiracy theories and more significantly. made comments that seem to threaten the lives of her fellow members in the house and i think that's really what pushed the democrats to do this at the very unsteady hoyer who's the house majority leader that's the number 2 democrat in the house held up a poster of marjorie that something that marjorie taylor green had posted on social media carrying an assault rifle aimed at 3 democratic members of the house alexandria cacio cortez to tell you've been on omar this squad and saying bad she would be their worst nightmare and the image of that assault rifle aimed at democratic members of the house of representatives i think was so powerful and is what moved not just all democrats but 11 republicans to vote to

strip her of her committee assignments for me us president donald trump has rejected a request by democrats to testify during his 2nd senate impeachment trial democrats who dropped the charges have accused him of and danger in the lies of all members of congress by inciting his supporters to storm capitol hill last month. trump's legal team says they said it lacks the authority to try him now the his name on the president the trial starts punches day. let's turn to where a close aide of aung san suu kyi has reportedly been arrested when 10 is a senior figure a former political prisoner who spent decades campaigning against military role you have a call for people to carry out acts of civil disobedience following monday's coup. was a cheese party members remain defiant despite the ongoing military crackdown they met on thursday to show their anger against the. elected representatives was

supposed to open a new session on monday to winning november's election by a landslide and set of course the military power arrested along with others anderson reports. prevented from taking their seats in the new parliament democratically elected politicians from the national league for democracy have met anyway a symbolic session surrounded by armed guards at a government guest house. since representatives from the end of the party are all elected civilian representatives we can call the parliament anywhere parliamentarians are present so we called for a session and signed our oath and we are going to stand as parliament representatives people voted for us to be in office for 5 years and the result cannot be erased no matter what. around 70 gathered on thursday and signed their oaths of office hundreds of lawmakers were detained for a period after monday's military coup. this violates the human rights of the

whole population this is not a coup this is treason against the government i have to say that this is state treason. symbolic acts of defiance by politicians and the public against a military known to put down protests that history in mind people are sticking to red ribbons and 3 finger salutes originally from the hunger games film franchise it was popularized by pro-democracy protests in neighboring thailand all called. to end the dictatorship. thank you then at 8 pm the sound heard round and gone for a 3rd night in a row and local culture it said that banging pots and pans can drive evil from a home thank you note a lot of people who we are. most people across the country are banging poets to drive out the military coup leaders who are not of the seas will keep driving out

these evils until power is a return to our government. and or should help al jazeera. let's get the latest joining us from china my in neighboring thailand scott so it looks like the rest are continuing we've had more leadership from the n l d a rest every night really and yes absolutely and as we just heard one of the top advisers to own song suchi has been arrested early friday morning and that he was actually able to place a few phone calls as the police were taking him so that is confirmed so that is concerning because the nets that the police are casting is growing wider and obviously that's raising concern inside myanmar not just with those connected to the end of the party but also to citizens but what's interesting as well here in neighboring thailand this is the largest x. pac community for people from myanmar in the world and that concern is growing here

and the communities here are very concerned about what's happening next door so we spoke with some of them. praying for peace and serenity in the thai city long known as a hub for me and mars' diaspora through decades of conflict and military coups migrants dissidents and ethnic fighters have found their way to change mine so in the end more is elected leadership was ousted in monday's coup it cut deep into the community here. funk wang was there in 1962 when the military 1st took power away from a civilian government. he later became a soldier in a kitchen ethnic army for 10 years he fought the military for autonomy with his experience he thinks violence is not the solution now and political pressure should come from people like him. i am worried about my country men back in myanmar not just my relatives the military may be in power for many years to come. i do not

support violent protests in the cities but in these people abroad should play a big role they don't have to live in fear from the benny's military. chiangmai has unique history and culture different from the rest of thailand and that's possibly why so many ethnic groups that have crossed the western border have decided to settle here but it's difficult for them to stay connected to their communities in myanmar if it doesn't go some long among gone runs a migrant radio network it was formed 25 years ago in chiang mai to keep the many migrants from myanmar informed the network has been reporting on the coup since the 1st hours of the takeover a lot of the listeners were shocked and worried. i have to keep my listeners updated on the situation they need information to make decisions people are awarded the concern about the future. a show of solidarity in front of the chiang mai myanmar consulate a nighttime gathering of anti coupe protesters thais and migrants making themselves

heard this in support of those who put themselves in danger by going out on the streets of myanmar to denounce the coup. and those growing those protests like that we saw here in chiang mai are growing around the world as obvious is they are on the streets in myanmar but what's interesting now there are there are a couple of i guess symbols for this anti coupe protest movement that's that has started around the world as well as inside myanmar and that is that they are singing the same song this is a song we're told of pro-democracy song sung to put to the tune of dust in the wind we've heard it here we heard it in chiang mai we hear it on the streets of myanmar and its thing so that is becoming kind of the anthem of this movement if you will but i guess the symbol would be people out there banging pots and that happened here as well so i think we'll see that start to grow around the world as people show their support demonstrate their support for what's happening for the protest movement in myanmar because obviously when they go out to the streets on in

myanmar they're putting their safety their freedom at risk scott many thanks for that update scott hyde at that for us. still ahead on al-jazeera. 3 months on and tens of thousands of refugees who fled violence in ethiopia and adapting to a new life. china state. problems with authorities in the u.k. . however there we've got more wintry weather on the forecast for north america big bulge of cloud into central parts pushing across the plains out of central areas of canada and that's all going to make its way further a switch so there's an expansionist snow coming into the northeastern corner snow there north of the border into quebec pushing across towards canadian maritimes and
