the brave characters that they had captured through their lenses 30 years earlier. imagine a rising challenge to the official history that denies indigenous peoples contribution to the peace process witness seen again. the in the in the in the in the. 0. 0 i'm fully back to this is a news hour live from our world headquarters in doha coming up in the next 60 minutes. growing anger in myanmar over monday's military coup launch demonstration is stage seen young gone despite an internet shutdown just a few weeks after donald trump state department labeled yemen's who sees terrorists

joe biden's administration changes course also this hour farmers in india brought highways across the country in protest against controversial reforms being proposed by the government and the coronavirus forces an african union summit on the line even as it tops our long agenda for the continent students i'm joined again go with the sports as a new cricket captain smashes a double century to prevent the 1st test against india to. thank you for joining us the 1st major street protests have taken place in myanmar 6 days after the military seize control of the government and arrested is civilian need as thousands march in the largest city of young gone on saturday in anger about the cool heavily armed police brought off main roads is

a sharp escalation from earlier demonstrations which were largely limited to banging pots and pans and online protests anger swell since army leaders broke twitter and instagram after having shut down access to facebook early in the week on tycoon messages had been trending across a profit forms before the. where disabled let's get the latest from al-jazeera is foreign story who joins us from kuala lumpur she's monitoring the situation very closely in myanmar so florence and near total internet blackout is in effect but that's not stopping people in myanmar from protesting what's the latest you're hearing about the situation on the ground well we heard hundreds of people came out on the streets of yangon many of them wearing red which is the color of the national league for democracy. party which it won the election by a landslide now even people who want taking part in the protests show this show their support by offering the protesters food and water and we also know riot police have

been deployed in the yangon they prevented more people from reaching the main site of the demonstration as far as we know no arrests have been made yet these signs of disquiet have been bro ing since the coup started on monday 1st it was people banging pots and pans which is part of traditional myanmar believes that drop that believes that this doing this is noise protests drives are evil and then it grew into a civil disobedience campaign 1st with medical workers in hospitals across myanmar taking part and then growing to include lecturers teachers and civil servants as well now youth activist groups say that nearly 150 people have been arrested and local media reports say 30 people have been arrested in connection with the noise protests so myanmar military leaders clearly. they want to stop these protests from happening very they are still happening and we also know that just a few days ago there were protests also in mandalay the 2nd largest city of myanmar as well as in the way in southeast and here you say they want these protests to

stop happening of course florence we know that the myanmar military has a history of violent lee cracking down on protests how are they likely to deal with them this time around in trying to stop well this time. certain things are different the power of the internet is very obvious now the military knows too well just how powerful a tool the internet can be it used to facebook a very popular messaging app as well as a social media platform in young love to spread hate speech and he moved in sentiment in 2017 before the brutal crackdown on the road so what it's done is it knows the protests can't be and messages the protests and protests can be organized online so it's done so it to prevent that from happening it's shut down access to facebook twitter and instagram but now the myanmar military has gone one step further it is shutting down the internet and a u.k.

based independent network internet monitoring group net blocks says that there is now a near total internet shutdown in myanmar as at 2 pm local time in myanmar connectivity levels has fallen to about to about 16 percent of ordinary levels so the military limiting access to the internet is going to make it more difficult for people to organize and he could protest but also it's going to make reporting and access to news about cooper as more difficult to come by thank you very much for that florence 3 on me on my with the latest on myanmar from kuala lumpur thank you very much florence and the u.s. secretary of state has criticized china's human rights record in his 1st call with beijing's top diplomat anthony blinken told the young chief she that america will stand up for democratic values including in change on tibet and hong kong blinken also called on china to join international condemnation of the military corps in

the anwar he warned that the us would work with our allies against any chinese threat to stability in the indo-pacific region including across the taiwan strait. the u.s. state department is to drop its terrorist designation for yemen's who sees president biden had highlighted the need to find a diplomatic solution to the war in yemen during his 1st major foreign policy speech who these were unable terrorists by the trump administration but humanitarian groups warned this could affect crucial aid deliveries some town a big boom is the advocacy manager for the norwegian refugee council she explains how the terror list as it nation affects humanitarian work even when there are exceptions. the 1st thing to save that this designation was coming at a time when yemen faces precedented set of catastrophe so battered by 6 years of war 60000000 people at risk of starvation that one in

2 yemenis cope with 19 also led to the economy getting more people lost their jobs you also basically the. food prices rising at the same time so for humanitarian organizations what we were concerned about is that even with exemptions made by the us government disowning provided limited protection and we would still it would still continue to delay humanitarian aid operations as we never get these new legal risks and complexities but what we were particularly concerned about is what this meant for the private sector. what does this mean for getting food fuel and medicines into the country what we've seen in other contexts is private sector such as bags of risk averse and any uncertainty caused by about just actions regime and exemptions would have meant

private shipping companies and. commercial companies would be reluctant to bring food fuel and medicines into the country so this is really well decision by the u.s. government and a sigh of relief that the yemeni people in libya rival factions have agreed to an interim unity government until elections are held in december there's hope the landmark decision could start fighting that same goal to the country since the toppling of moammar gadhafi nearly 10 years ago train every force or tripoli. in what the u.n. is calling a historical vote participants of the libyan political dialogue for voted in a new transitional government their objective lead libya to parliamentary and presidential elections in december this is a moment for historic compromise for reaching we've already seen that people are reaching across the divide. you know the guarantee is that what you are doing

now will. serve your people libya has been gold in conflicts for the last 10 years since an armed revolution toppled longtime leader moammar gadhafi in 2011 and april 2019 just days before a un facilitated national conference warlord khalifa haftar began a military campaign in tripoli with support from egypt russia and the u.a.e. in june 2020 they were forced to retreat towards eastern libya after the un recognized government with turkish support retook western libya. here in tripoli most people are hopeful that this transitional government can make some changes. 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 about money the only thing we

want from this government is for it to bring us elections we want the decision for who holds power to return to the people although hope for 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 in and to hope for and for now many hope that this new transitional government can leave a reconciliation process and bring about elections now traina al jazeera tripoli our u.n. secretary general antonio terris has hailed the deal as a step towards peace. i do believe it is a breakthrough and it is following the successful result of the negotiations of the 5 plus 5 the military the joint military committee that led to

a cease fire so now we have a cease fire we have a political agreement about elections we have a new transitional authority being put in place all going to be put in place. to india now where farmers ramping up their protests against agricultural reforms by blocking roads across the country demonstrations outside new delhi have been mostly peaceful but they turned violent in january when thousands of farmers breached barricades around the capital now they say the government is using repressive measures to clamp down on the protests as india correspondent elizabeth cohen joins us live from the poor tell us how the protests are shaping up this saturday alice. hello folly yes we are in gaza where farmers have occupied this key highway going into delhi for more than 2 months but today protesters are blocking highways around the country in punjab and haryana and rajastan in jammu police have detained

protesters in the southern cities of bengal and hyderabad now farmers are asked anyone who supports them to come out today and block highways and protest against the agricultural laws and in response delhi police have deployed 50000 police and paramilitary personnel in and around the capital they closed metro stations certain metro stations have extra drones flying over the protests sides extra c.c.t.v. cameras installed all over delhi they say they are taking these protesters breached police barricades on a public. apology the historic monument just hours after promised in that interim order to address the nation from there right. there for a few seconds just tell us about the government's actions i mean the government has been cracking down on these protests since republic day last weekend and that had a lot of people worried even the u.n.

has issued a statement how is the government justifying this. that's right fawley the government has arrested more than $120.00 people it's charged union leaders with rioting and sedition because it said that they you know that they were carrying out violent acts against the government they have made protest sites incredibly difficult to get to the erected many rows of barricades outside the 3 major protest sides thousands of iron nails on the roads. around some of the sides you know making them nearly impossible to get to that also cut out the tricity and internet services and to mission at sites where hundreds of thousands of people camping out they've suspended hundreds of twitter accounts of people who have supported the farmers protests and that is why the un's human rights office issued a statement saying asking the government to as and protesters to exercise maximum

restraint but also saying that the right to peaceful assembly to expression should be protected both offline and online but despite everything that the government has done since republic day once you do get to the protest sides there are still many thousands of people there and they're just as determined to continue to say that they will be here until the government repeals those 3 recent agriculture goals all right mistake you very much for that update elizabeth live there in gaza. and those last more ahead on this news hour including. i am mama degrees here in nigeria's northwest al-jazeera looks at what transpired in poor communities or kidnapping villages for ransom have killed hundreds in the past one year past maskell strikes back russia takes action against the your nation is accusing them of supporting jailed opposition leader alexei about. an n.b.a.

star kevin durant's offenses anger after being with all from a game because of carnival stars coming up later in sports which are. african union leaders are meeting by video conference for their annual summit to discuss a range of shared concerns including the called the $1000.00 pandemic and the struggle to secure vaccines also on the agenda growing unrest in the region and in the central african republic that seek to markham why oppose monitoring this summit for us from nairobi kenya so a lot of items on the agenda of this summit malcolm how much attention will there be on the coronavirus crisis. one of the key items that's on the agenda and we're expecting the african center for disease control and also the vaccine task force to report to the african union to

update them on progress in this summit comes at a moment where the african continent finds itself at the bottom of a lot of grossly. allocation the distribution of coded 90 vaccines around the world experts estimate that the richest countries will have vaccinated most of their populations at some point later this year and that the world's poorest countries many of which are in this continent will not vaccinate the same amount of their population till maybe 3 years from now or possibly never saw the african union's task force has been trying to collectively buy vaccines on. half of other countries aiming to get about 600000000 vaccines that's about half the number of people living in the continent 1300000000 is the total population that pales in comparison for example to the u.k. which has one of the fastest moving vaccine programs the government there is for about 6 doses for every member of its population the african union is trying to

trying to address this and trying to collectively buy those vaccines some african countries have signed up to participate in the game but we'll hear more about it in the summit later today and tomorrow as well and what do we expect to hear on the various conflicts of course says this trial region there is also the unrest in the central african republic but perhaps even more importantly for the african union in ethiopia ways headquartered the conflict in to greater region what can we expect to hear on that. when on these conflicts officially on the agenda although we can expect them to be discussed maybe at some level ethiopia's officially the host of this summit although it is happening virtually and of course is you know it's in northern ethiopia it's a great province where there's fighting low level fighting still going on right now from the conflict that began in november and in november the african union tried to intervene and start peace talks the chair cyril ramaphosa president of south africa

he's now the outgoing chair of this summit but back then in november he sent 3 former heads of states to addis ababa the capital of ethiopia to try and start those peace talks they each met with ethiopian prime minister of the animated but they weren't allowed to meet with the leaders of the 2 graham people liberation front thus the enemy of the government forces in the to great region no peace talks have started fighting still forcibly going on up till now when the government of ethiopia's made it pretty clear that it considers this conflict to be a domestic internal affair and isn't welcoming any outside efforts mediation and it's not likely that they would happen unless. because the african union is known for putting sanctions a lot of pressure on its different members the less several of its more powerful members or from their powerful allies from outside the continent really had a motive in the political will to try and put pressure to try and bring sides to the table and there's no great signs of that happening with regards to the conflict integrate just ok thank you very much for that malcolm would live in nairobi

projects part between kenya and the cutting of the promoted relations with the nairobi and the president of the region is saying no that is not what the president wants is trying to use up his power in the region and wants them replaced with african union peacekeepers armies of the presently. another issue is the composition of the electoral commission which opposition candidates including former president at least one former prime minister say that it is staffed with civil servants and members of the national security agency and they want that reconstituted again now all these lives somalia in limbo on monday the president's mandate will expire and the opposition candidates are saying they will not allow an extension of the president's monday that they would not want any extension whatsoever of the person from the summer everywhere that missing has collapsed is heading directly to a parliament where he's going to ask members of parliament to extend his mandate

across the globe and we're told it's every west we're told we're supposed to be suspicious of everybody and everything but our government policies aimed at tackling radicalization in fact pushing youngsters to the fringes of society the impact is huge typing on the net there's only so much they can try before you say ok that's me rethinking radicalization of the radicalized youth syrians announces the era. the in the in the. you're watching the news hour on al-jazeera with me for you back to book a reminder of our top stories myanmar's military rulers are cracking down for them

on social media this as protesters have taken to the streets in launch numbers for the 1st time since the military rule 6 days ago. farmers in india ramping up their protest against agricultural reforms by brock in bode's across the country they say the government is using repressive measures to clamp down on their demonstrations and african union leaders are meeting via video conference for their annual summit they're likely to discuss a range or shared concerns including the covert $1000.00 and the struggle to secure vaccines. more on our top story and the coup in myanmar and protests against it both inside and outside the country that speak to bridget welsh was an honorary research associate at the asia research institute of the university of nottingham malaysia she joins us via skype from kuala lumpur brigid very good to have you on she's here as always so we're seeing growing demonstrations inside myanmar and walsall seeing the military being criticize internationally even china signing on

to this u.n. security council statement which called for the continued support of the democratic transition in myanmar how do you think for us the military will be waiting all of this and the need to stop the protests before they become even more isolated. well i think what we're seeing is the military is using an old playbook which is to actually engage in rounding up people and actually putting people in prison and attacking the protesters and cutting down on communication these tactics they've used in the past but they're in a different environment but they're so they're trying to ratchet this up but it's very worrying what's happening on the ground the u.n. security council in statement also call for the immediate release of all those who've been detained including. of course internationally do you think they'll be as much sympathy for her and as much involvement from the west this time around given her fall from grace as a democratic icon because of her inaction and indifference towards the treatment of

the writing. well i think there are 2 aspects of this question 1st is what should be done internationally and in the end so we've seen the un is actually make up polls in terms of condemning the areas i think also at this time it's necessary to have dialogue with the military to assure to let them know that the world is watching you know that these situations continue to escalate i think it's important to have that dialogue but also to begin some of the sticks and issues of sanctions to show that there are going to be specific measures that could be in place to respond i think at the same time we have to realize that increasing the situation now is not about an embracing one person that if there's a lesson from this is that embracing on some suchi or one person is not a way to actually support the system the focus needs to be on the myanmar people the ones that are suffering the most as a result of the coup and so there needs to be more holistic approaches towards direct towards that towards

a situation which involves helping many of the protesters get access to technology also dealing with issues of hunger and also putting pressure on them and then in the military and looking at the situation in a broader way not just a black and white situation about one person write to you do you expect that they'll be any concrete action any formal action from the international community talked about sanctions and possible sanctions but we know that china and the u.n. security council is very mean that tend to impose sanctions if you know they are no sanctions only if they are sanctioned what difference would it make on the ground and do you think it's likely to put pressure on the military or should they be other things that i consider it. first of all there are many types of sanctions so it's very important the sanctions not not target the people in terms of access to goods and access to to to necessary things for quality of life but more we targeted on the military in the military businesses individuals and their families i think

this is an important thing they personally have to feel the risk that responsibility for what they have done in terms of taking power that the way that they have done i think there's also needs to be new measures that are put in place which is to work with other parts of the army as well as work with the ethnic armed groups as well as work with people inside myanmar that are opposing this this particular coup and that includes not only n.l.b. members but also ordinary citizens who are going to the streets today when you talk about working with other parts of the army does that suggest that there is the there is no perhaps unity within the entire army i assume you know this current situation. it's my view that men align who is the commander in chief has put many of his own personal loyalists that key positions and there are other pizza people in the army that are more sympathetic to the issues of aung san suu kyi like the army reflects the society in myanmar and a large sections of people in myanmar do not want to have the military back in

power the way that they have taken power and of course with the record of this military of this particular general involved in the crimes against humanity in helping the military has as been able to count on the support of china in the past do you get a sense this difference it's going to be different this time around that that the chinese support won't be perhaps as strong as it was in the past. i think we're already seeing it's different we're seeing that the chinese signed onto the 1st statement they have not embraced the military in the black and white situation that they did previously they had a close relationship with the on some city government i think there were other chinese government recognizes that the majority of people in myanmar do not want the military in power and it's not in their interest to completely embrace this government clearly that the chinese government will actually have some recognition of the military but not to the same degree that it had in the past and there are a lot of factors within the military that look at china suspiciously as well so i

think it's not as simple as as the fact of what was seen in the past i think it's a different situation and i think it's important for the international community to bring china and russia on board because the fact of the matter is is that it is different we have a situation of crimes against humanity and genocide of which this general what was the general in charge and in the military were the perpetrators so i think it is a different situation thank you very much for talking to us and thank you for your insight bridget's wow stunning us there from malaysia. now the diplomatic fallout from russia's treatment of opposition leader alexina intensifying it comes after moscow expounds 3 foreign diplomats were joining protests against the bombings arrest and now the opposition leader has appeared in court for the 2nd time in a week is accused of defaming a world war 2 veteran andra simmons has the details. russia's foreign ministry says the diplomats had attended what it called illegal demonstrations last month in

u.s. president joe biden has moved a step closer to passage of his $1.00 trillion dollar pandemic relief plan the house of representatives approved the budget blueprint democrats want the deal completed by the end of the month as our white house correspondent kimberly how 20 more. it's a nearly 2 trillion dollar economic plan designed to rebuild the u.s. economy decimated since back in march due to the spread of covert 19 this is about people's lives biden's plan includes direct payments to struggling americans of $1400.00 unemployment benefits would be extended until september $400.00 a week the plan would provide relief to working and middle class americans particularly communities of color disproportionately harmed by the pandemic and i want to say very clearly on this speech very clearly this point is better economics not only addresses the immediate crisis room it's better for the long term economic

health of our nation and our competitiveness. still republicans and democrats are other able to agree on the details so democrats have cut republicans out of the process the vice president votes in the affirmative in an early friday morning vote vice president connell harris broke a 5050 tie in the u.s. senate over details of the rescue plan paving the way for democrats who control congress and the white house to pass their legislation into law if i have to choose between getting help right now to americans who are hurting so badly and getting dragged down the length of the negotiation or compromise in a bill that's that's up to the crisis this is your choice i'm going to help the american people are heard now the relief is badly needed on friday the labor department reported the u.s. had added just 49000 jobs. with covert infections high and businesses shut

down millions remain out of work and economic recovery at best is sluggish there's fear even with economic stimulus checks americans will save instead of spending giving you usually spending a bug every 5 once again better than not getting a and i do need it but it's just not a solution right it's stop the bleeding it's not. a large stimulus comes with risk there is fear of unintended consequences like inflation and a weakened american dollar but democrats in congress and the white house believe that right now those risks are worth it if americans can get back to work can really help at al-jazeera washington and president biden says his predecessor donald trump shouldn't receive intelligence briefings speaking in an interview on

the american network c.b.s. he says trump simply can't be trusted to keep the information confidential. should former president trump still receive intelligence briefings. i think not. why not. because of his rabid behavior unrelated to the insurrection when you've called him an existential threat you've called him dangerous you called and reckless you have are believing what your worst fear if he continues to get these intelligence briefings. i'd rather not speculate out loud i just think of thirds no need for him to have the intelligence for what value is giving him an intelligent question what impact does he have at all other than the fact he might slip in say something. the international criminal court has ruled does have territorial jurisdiction in the occupied palestinian territory as well to the i.c.c.

chief's prosecutor as if to investigate suspected war crimes by israel and potentially by palestinian armed groups and this includes the gaza strip the occupied west bank and east jerusalem. biden and ministration ascended 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. investigates israel for fake war crimes this is pure anti semitism the court established to prevent atrocities like the nazi holocaust against the jewish people is not or getting the one state of the jewish people. first it outrageously claims that when jews live in a room and this is a year from circuit 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 r.c.c. refuses to investigate brutal dictatorships like iran and syria who commit who

refused to trust cities almost daily as prime minister of israel i assure you we will fight this perversion of justice with all our might. south africa has allowed the use of a controversial drug to treat covert 900 patients ivermectin has grown in popularity but it's unregulated use as raise concerns about its sale on the black market. for some johannesburg. ciro who doesn't want to use her real name was diagnosed with copd 1000 and ammonia in january she was admitted to hospital when she could not breathe properly and without the hospital's knowledge began using a drug called ivermectin they organize the. i would make them for me and then i had to be basically smuggled into the hospital which i felt was so i'm tough because. this is something that's going to help
