factions agrees with interim government today is to unify the country after years of conflict. of objections from the u.s. and israel to an international criminal court ruling that could lead to war crimes investigations in occupied palestinian territories. myanmar's military rulers are cracking down further on social media as anger builds about the seizure of power hundreds of people are rallying against monday's coup in the largest city and gone there calling for the return of democracy and for the release of leader aung san suu kyi on the leaders of the blocks twitter and instagram having stopped access to facebook earlier in the week of 0 florence louis is monitoring developments from kuala lumpur she's with us now live. what's the latest you're hearing about these protests in yangon of how the military has dealt with people that. well we've heard that there are still hundreds of people

out on the streets in yangon and this is the 1st major protest in yangon in myanmar really since the coup on monday and these protests they started out small but they've been escalating throughout the week now the protests are to just the on monday after the coup happened with people banging on pots at home this is a way that people traditionally believe drives away evil so they were banging on parts honking their cars chanting anti clue slogans and then it grew into a civil disobedience movement with medical staff in hospitals across the country participating in that strike and then teachers and civil servants started to take part and then the days on thursday and friday there were also protests on the streets in mandalay myanmar 2nd largest city as well as in dar way in southeastern myanmar but these protests were much smaller than people have been arrested we heard in the earlier protests in mandalay as far as we know there's been no

protests yet in yangon on saturday but we do know that riot police have been deployed now according to a civil youth civil rights group. nearly $150.00 people have been arrested since the start of the coup and local media also reporting that at least 30 people have been arrested in relation to the noise protests so the military is clearly cracking down they want to stop these protests and they are arresting people now and this is a country where people have a history of rising up against military rule that happened in 1988 that was led by students and again in 2007 led by monks these 2 protests were very brutally and violently put down by the military so people here are aware they and they they have 1st hand knowledge some of them and so there's obviously fear and awareness of what the military is capable of but at the moment people are still very angry and they want to make their voices heard so we're seeing this 1st large protest taking part

in yangon on saturday and they could people perhaps could also be emboldened by what aung san suu kyi is said to have said she issued a statement said to be drafted before the coup urging people to reject the coup that is part of the crackdown the military has introduced for the restrictions on social media tell us more about. that's right so it 1st started with blocking facebook a number of extended it to twitter and instagram now facebook is an extremely popular social media platform in myanmar and the military know only too well just how popular that platform is they've been accused of using facebook to spread hate speech and he moved in sentiment in the months prior to the crackdown on the rain in 2017 so the military is blocking facebook and on to instagram in the hopes of being able to prevent protests and. crew and he military messages from being spread

now and what they've done also is they've gone one step further because the ban on social media platforms can be circumvented by using virtual private networks or internet but in a monitoring group net's blocks internet observatory says myanmar is now in the midst of a national scale internet blackout with connectivity levels reportedly falling to 54 percent of ordinary levels now this is going to make communication even harder mobile data internet that's being temporarily restricted so it means that people will not only be able to organize protests all the more difficult but there's also going to be difficult it's also going to be difficult to access independent news. series florence are reporting live from kuala lumpur florence many thanks indeed. india ramping up their protests against agricultural reforms 5 blocking roads across the country months long demonstrations outside new delhi have been mostly peaceful but violence in january when thousands of farmers breached barricades around the capital now they say the government is using repressive measures to

precautions after the some of the violent clashes that took place on india's republic day last week when we saw protesters. breach police barricades and even go to the historic red fortune climb the walls just hours after problems in that interim address the nation from the. what's being made of this this government crackdown on the protests since those republic day clashes. with the government has taken a lot of measures to make it very difficult for people to reach these protest sides for people to join them they have the wrecked many roads. the barricades around all 3 sides thousands of iron nails on some of the roads leading up to some of the sides making it incredibly difficult impossible in some places to get to the water and the tricity internet service to get all of the sites that's a huge concern in places like the to create protest site with his hundreds of

the government will have a large task at hand it will not be easy we have they will be able to make some changes but because it's such a short term i doubt they'll be able to dig. into how much money the only thing we want from this government is for it to bring us elections we want the decision through who holds power to return to the people although hopeful some have doubts that the elections can take place so soon the last government was supposed to stay in power for one year but they've been in power for over 5 years we hope they stick to their promise and help the average citizen and provide basic services after years of violence and political divisions most libyans want something to believe and to hope for and for now many hope that this new transitional government can leave a reconciliation process and bring about elections now trainer al jazeera tripoli the u.n. secretary general antonio held it as a step towards peace. i do believe it is a breakthrough and it is following the successful result of the negotiations

again this is al jazeera the main news this hour myanmar's military rulers are cracking down further on social media they've blocked twitter and instagram having stopped access to facebook earlier hundreds of people are rallying against monday's coup in young. farmers in india ramping up their protest against agricultural reforms but blocking roads across the country they say the government is using repressive measures to clamp down on the protests but in libya rival factions have agreed to an interim unity government until elections are held in december there's hope the landmark decision could stop the fighting it's a gulf country for nearly 10 years. the international criminal court has ruled that it does have territorial jurisdiction in the occupied palestinian territory and this bolsters the i.c.c.

chief prosecutor's efforts to investigate suspected war crimes by israel and potentially by palestinian armed groups this includes the gaza strip the occupied west bank and east jerusalem where in 2019 the i.c.c. chief prosecutor fatou bensouda said that she believed the war crimes have been or all being committed and she asked the court to determine if she had jurisdiction for an investigation prompting the ruling the palestinians who joined the i.c.c. in 2015 have been asking the court to look into israeli military action in the gaza strip in 2014 they also want the court to investigate israel's construction of illegal settlements in the occupied west bank and east jerusalem biden as administration says that it objects to the i.c.c. decision while the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu is accusing the international criminal court of anti semitism the i.c.c. investigators will fake war crimes this is pure anti semitic. the court

established to prevent atrocities like the nazi holocaust against the jewish people is not targeting the one state of the jewish people 1st it outrageously claims that when jews live in our homeland this is a war crime and 2nd it claims that when democratic israel defends itself against terrorists who murder our children rocket our cities we're committing another war crime yet the i.c.c. refuses to investigate brutal dictatorships like iran and syria who commit horrific atrocities almost daily as prime minister of israel i assure you we will fight this perversion of justice with all our might earlier we spoke to says will power from al hakka palestinian human rights organization she says that any further delays in the investigation should be avoided. i think the important thing to know from today the pretrial chamber. treaty has never find the one that created

a great foundation i think so and back at the end of 2019 past the caucus you had already moved into the investigation phase so we can see even a meeting at a coffee shop canal and sessions already infected patients things so i think we're starting to see the popular already had spine which had been identified by the office or the prosecution or i'm at the 5 now taken and ringback i think the one thing that we are concerned surprised about the decision today is back at creech watching for fact that there might be a protracted process. and the types of cases that we've seen coming before the court has gone for years and years and years and what we thought went for trackage that kind just picking fights but also where we're not very much in the investigation stage you know to be present in a very heightened sense of fast because as far as we're concerned we have since

2009 with the 1st premium rate nomination really pushed the courts to open investigation without risk to 3 years neisha we don't have to wait until we have that archway dutchesse and 2015 or 22nd preliminary examinations or from and we think waiting all of the time i would really rank nomination pro at the at the end just 2019 where over a year waiting for at the pretrial chain but you make the decision and we would say we can no longer waste any for their phone number of violent deaths in palestinian israeli communities has been rising steadily for years that's despite government promises to tackle the problem activists play to make sure of well on gangs the lack of action by the police carry forces reports on from northern israel. as most of israel focuses on the covert crisis for palestinian israelis a different issue dominates daily life gun violence this what it was captured in

january in the northern town of all farm in the moments after its latest killing 21 year old mohammed was shot dead on his doorstep he just returned from a protest against violent crime he was the 4th member of his extended family to be killed in just 18 months the family say they don't know why they've been targeted muhammad's cousin and anti-crime activist says it's up to the police to provide the answers. there is c.c.t.v. there is d.n.a. i don't need to teach them their job even if they can find all the evidence 50 percent will be there search and ask and investigate this is your job not mine it's a long running accusation by palestinian israelis that negligent law enforcement allows crime gangs freedom to operate in their towns and villages 2020 was the deadliest year for many with $96.00 violent deaths in our communities there is general agreement about one thing an epidemic of violent crime is sweeping

palestinian israeli society not for the 1st time your forties a promising more engagement and more enforcement the israeli prime minister who unusually has been campaigning for palestinian israeli votes in next month's election has pledged an overhaul of policing an investigation promising to target the violence in the same way as terrorism of all farms mayer says previous such promises have failed to make a difference let's us so that sort of you know that i mean that unfortunately the israeli police treat us as enemies not isms of the state just last friday there was a peaceful protest by the youth in front of the police station and the police attacked with extraordinary equipment and force and undercover officers it's unacceptable an investigation by the our it's newspaper in november found that only a 5th of murders in palestinian israeli communities. resulted in charges compared to more than half in jewish areas. we face obstacles in the arab society

most importantly we need to make clear that cleaning the crime scene hiding the weapon organizing testimonies not cooperating forming the police all of these form an obvious barrier to solving murders meanwhile the violence continues thousands took to the streets in the town of tama to mourn the death of another young man a committed jersey was a 23 year old nursing student a bystander killed in crossfire as israeli police in gauged in the gun battle with a gang who was shooting into a nearby house another young life ended in another neighborhood turned into a crime scene ari force at al-jazeera northern israel. protesters have burned down several government buildings in chile's southern town of. after a police killing of a street juggler but here released on social media shows police officers approaching the artist to reportedly check his identity they fired several shots at the man who seemed to be holding machetes chilean media say these were props for his performance. in the paul supporters of prime minister.
