interview me today yes i. it is normally it happened in the past you know history in burma like whenever people come to demand the rights of the military and . the military normally seems they never be able to tolerate this kind of you know . but one thing my worry is you know ur so far the military also sure you know the street and they're not coming after the crowd but we hear in that there are so many arrests or those who are the student the activist leader those who lead to the demonstration has been arrested few of them have been arrested so we still need to it is very difficult for us to confirm some information as well because of the due to the internet you know like oh so. no

sorry i was just going to say so actually. you know what concerns you is the fact that they might just let these protests they might tolerate these protests carrying on for a bit longer but they'll just try to identify the people that are organizing the demonstrations and target them for erast in detention. i mean this time we find some differences from the military side they are not immediately you know shooting and killing the people as they did before what they're doing is they're using psychological warfare psychological games like. suddenly spread the news there are signs that he has been released or people are celebrating in the came out on the street and they are very happy and this is the mediately those who are active in the and they are aware of their the spread the counter that inform their misinformation and immediately inform everyone by telephones and by messages this is false news and this is

a rumors is not to believe this so people start being over taking the word of you know what's going on there not i mean they're more careful than before and another one point is you know it previous time they mix up their own their goons within the crowd and they start become violent so they give their excuses to the authorities to crack down by a lot leave because you know some crowd has crossed the line but this time we have been very careful and i would like to echo the advice from the student leaders like . what they are looking for 'd is they want the people committed to the civil disobedience especially their government staff those who are you know like doctors like like a transportation ministry of transportation different different like teachers they all boycott the government job and they don't go to their jobs so and the government will shut down and also they are urging the people that 'd share your

whatever you have with those people those who can't go to the job and they may not get their salaries so we are urging international community as well do they are see how responsive our sponsors are people then we saw many thousands on the streets today saying the plan now is to they want to focus on civil disobedience to make life difficult for the government how widespread is that civil disobedience you have any idea because it seems as are the majority of civil servants are still going to work. yeah there is not civil the majority because this gradually expanding is still going on there are many places there are many like many government office there and black teachers they are already issued a statement they are joining the civil disobedience movement so it is gradually getting momentum that we understand that it did exclude the little little time but . it is getting to the point that the government will shut down at some point because that the whole asian comedown thing become

a couple joining us like that so the important thing is you know international rest one is very important because this will encourage the people to step up to step up to step up and do to counter what the government has been you know doing or against them but again they are destroying the democracy and you know taking over taking down the deval patrick the elected government international community immediately need to put the sanction on the economic interests of the military because behind the coup this is one of the main reason why these military generals they want that they want to protect their family businesses in the world this is one of the key point why you know this general dared to do this that would take down a democratically elected government so we must to grasp on international community need to respond targeting their economic interests their companies their cronies thank you very much choice when exactly director of the burma human rights network . well our other top story this hour india's government cutting off internet

the biden administration and just to remind our viewers around the world biden have made it clear over the last several months that he will no longer give. you know a pass to autocrats and that he will no longer coddle dictators he put it in lawless words in the sense that he put the likes of them but the has a notice that he could no longer jail journalists and human rights activists and he can longer continue with the same political repression that he did when trump was enough for us it's also good to remember that the president throne made the press journalists as the enemy of the people as he called it and that coincided rather well with with president sisi but now with the with the by then mrs sheehan and it's clear that someone that would have sain like the rest of us was doing his civic duty as a journalist he was not

a politician he was not an activist he wasn't even a human rights activist he was a journalist doing a civic duty. the latest in a series of demonstrations has seen the center of tunisia's capital brought to a standstill it took place in the same spot where prominent left wing activists chokri belaid was assassinated 8 years ago his death led to a wave of protests just 2 years after the country's revolution more protests have been held recently over poverty corruption and widespread unemployment. and the freedoms are in danger today are remembered bring in similar protests the years following the revolution have never been restrictions on protests what was happening now. that we're involved country we're in the same position we rule choosey it's a real live this cultural freedoms or red line 3 ball fighters to achieve justice through. over 100 members of iraq's minority who were killed by i still nearly 7

iraqi government nor the kurdistan government protected or defended them this is a fantastic. thing the remains of the victims not. just there's no. other victims. who survived and you know will be gone when they do. we can do far more in their. protecting the. residents of the chinese city where covert 1000 was 1st found to have been remembering a doctor who died after trying to blow the whistle on the outbreak anywhere leon was one of 8 people punished by local authorities for spreading rumors as they put it about the illness as it was taking hold in the harm he then called the virus itself and died exactly a year ago his death sparked outrage but also increased awareness of the beginning of the pandemic and the chinese government's response now south africa the

government has allowed the limited use of a controversial drug to treat $1000.00 ivermectin has grown in popularity even though it's not been registered for human consumption and a burgeoning but market is raising concern as for me to many reports from johannesburg desperation during a pandemic could put people's health an even greater risk. 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 ifa micht and. they organize. i would make them for me and then i had to be basically smuggled into the hospital which i thought and so on task because. this is something that's going to help people and something that people who need something that people. think you know is

a criminal even when you would. save your loved one you know at that point. we knew at that point a bit you would do in syria is so convinced the drugs saved her life she also gave it to a parents who'd also tested positive for covert 19 they all use the drug without a medical supervision ivermectin is not registered in south africa for human consumption until now it's been used to treat animals for things like parasites but its popularity and illegal use has for south africa's health products with already to allow what it's calling controlled use of the medicine and in this way monitor its use think about it it's an 8 page form which you have to pull in on line each time you have a patient it takes an hour to fill in the form the requirements to use ivermectin have since been relaxed now doctors can use the drug and covert 1000 patients while they wait for approval but they are concerned that regulations and delays will only

theel the black market rather than control the drugs use this is the 2nd police bust of ivermectin tablets being smuggled into south africa in recent weeks here more than 300000 tablets were brought in illegally from abroad authorities are worried the un regulated you survive the mix and could lead to an overdose and say there's no clear evidence the drug works just. fine and the fact. i'm not. overdosing on the drug can cause blindness you logical effects and liver damage globally at least 5 countries want to use ivermectin to teach close at 19 including india and argentina so africa plans to begin clinical trials on the effectiveness of ivermectin to treat covert 19 but that may be of

little interest to those desperate to get their hands on the drug which they believe saves lives let me al-jazeera jana's bug. brandy has become it at least the 2nd african country to say it doesn't need corona virus vaccines even as cases on the continent rise neighboring towns and there has also said there are no plans to audit doses of the job its president has been a long term skeptic of the pandemic nearly a year ago john mica food he said it had been wiped out in his country is now hauling the vaccines dangerous meanwhile in burundi the health minister there claims that nearly all people who catch it recover well dr harvey monday is a member of the kenya medical practitioners union joins us by skype from acquainting in kenya so there hasn't been any official data on the virus for a while because the government famously declared that it was free of covert 19 but

is there anything you can tell us about the number of covert infections and deaths in tanzania. not really for its lead but i think the number. of. the number. of people that you that neighboring countries and so we don't expect them to be so different. you can you know you see we currently have a boat 101 things are going to be printed. but could it be actually much worse because there is this skepticism towards the coronavirus state shunned lockdowns the president has mocked the wearing of masks and physical distancing of course probably a thing but is our thought likely to be happening in the completion or accord with

regulations of the nec the w.t. or the north ocean do something they are no regulations people continue to dr normally are one of the other countries in africa like in kenya we try to see our whole 1000000 might book in fiction so i think our proposal would have a bigger number in time going up than we have in canal. how worrying is it that there are no plans for a vaccination program. it is extremely worrying. there hasn't been a lot of fear in africa of for quite a long time and it was not just only our 4 cordoning tin box in there has been our dog seems like the tech enough dockside box in and there were rumors that it was left with our fertility hormones and i think i see do and saw when various organizations. the question that they are people about of oxygen is there and i think there are groups that are the talk always being very inflated of this

particular vaccine so i think that's a kink is happening to caliente and they are still sections of african nations under jones that are afflicted by such kind of money but i think i think i think rightly as i mean what if you don't like the government of getting out of the leadership of pick and frankly to ensure that our its citizens are to cut the vaccine but when you get a particular our leader or and then you go for you who keep telling people that it is not government to then you to be very difficult for people that are critical don't look to how do you compare the reaction in burren to how we've seen the government handling the 19 in in tanzania or is it as is it is hard lined are they get completely rejecting vaccines from that kovacs scheme or are they saying all we just don't need it yet is that more flexibility in burundi. i think it's wasn't

good only because when we got these cases enough it got a book that only complicated not read that at the end it gets sort of our cover in the tin we actually lost the plate didn't it i mean we're not going to make many leaders in that particular country so you know where when you look at the president or to learn you know speaking he actually agrees and i remember that tony actually mentioned that one of his son what's it like in the as you so are we see him acknowledging that there is truly a government in but then in who only we don't get such reaction from leaders and you're not people who listen to their leader that's partially african people dr ali was right yes yes yes but just quickly you know i just finished the end of a sentence or so i wanted to say that it think it is this edition could be very worth in only then can be added and then thank you very much thank you dr harvey les for joining us appreciate it thank you very much. it then use our life from

london. b g q's everything including machines and even seeds. we need a farmer is seeing that life's work stolen in nigeria is mine and northwest. for the president's eyes only why joe biden doesn't trust his predecessor the secret intelligence. and the upcoming super bowl is under investigation after a car accident will happen in the sport. but. it is positively spring like across eastern parts of the mediterranean better elsewhere winter really has got his career upon us we've got some cold air across

has got the 1st shot will be able to get a 2nd one on time now normally who gets a 1st shot at the pfizer vaccine should get a 2nd one after 21 days but get insisted that that time frame can be extended to 42 days if necessary and still be safe now most mexicans though are quite concerned of what's happening there also because mexico's plan b. which was receiving a special emergency shipment of the russian vaccine this week of 5 that's also not materialized yet this pipe very big announcement some part of the government after president the president of mexico is obrador personally negotiated with the russian president vladimir putin for the shipment of 24000000 emergency doses of that vaccine so mexicans are quite concerned by these delays at

a time when the country is still dealing with very very tough 2nd wave of infections and having counted more than 121300 sorry deaths on a daily basis in these are just the official count that well most experts believe that the real count in mexico might be much higher. and then what's happening in bolivia because there are now reports that the number of deaths are rising again and funeral homes in cemeteries are overwhelmed yes the situation is again very dire in bolivia in the capital in a number of other cities in the country this 2nd wave this truly affecting battering the already quite weak health system that they have there the numbers of deaths been rising and we've seen some very very painful pictures on saturday of

bodies abandoned in funeral homes and cemeteries cemeteries in a number of cities are completely full and now the government is accusing funeral homes taking more bodies than what they can deal with and they are fearing that these funeral homes could become a new focal point of infections in the country now remember believe is one of the poorest country in latin america it has. had a very hard time throughout pandemic and january has been the 2nd most deadly month since the start of the condemn thank you very much from bogota 100 p.r.t. thank you now last year was one of the most violent northwest nigeria has seen bandits and cattle rustlers killed more than a 1000 people in rural communities a region that was historically the heart of a great empire is now in the grips of

this again is happening and appears just months before the presidential election u.s. president joe biden says his predecessor comp be trusted to receive a cut to see normally extended to a commander in chief after leaving office he says donald trump's behave irrationally sensitive intelligence briefings. should former president trump still receive intelligence briefings. i think not. why not. because of his rabid behavior on related to the insurrection when you've called him an existential threat you've called him dangerous you called him reckless and i have who 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 fusion what value is

giving him in and tells you what impact does he have at all other than the fact he might slip and say something. castro is live for us in washington so a specific reasons given by the president as to why donald trump shouldn't receive classified information why do former presidents get these briefings. well there i am every living u.s. president in recent history has received these daily briefings which is a courtesy extended from the current president to all of the former's as they're called and this is not just a matter of convention but it's also has the practical value of these former presidents are ready to advise the sitting president because they're already informed and ready to offer advice if so called upon now the concern about trump continuing to receive these briefings it's not just from biden but from former u.s. intelligence officials including susan gordon who was the deputy director of national intelligence and one of the chief briefers of president until 2019 and she

wrote in an op ed in the washington post last month that there are 2 things that distinguish former president trump from the other predecessors there's a sense that he has a stated agenda to remain an active force in u.s. politics and she's concerned that he could use or distort american intelligence to serve that agenda which he's been accused of doing in the past and then the 2nd difference being that his business interests have foreign entanglements and he has debts to foreign creditors and has a vestments from foreign investors which she says makes him unusually susceptible and vulnerable to bad actors when he is getting these daily u.s. secrets how unprecedented a move is this by joe biden. yeah there is no history of this happening before because like i said every living u.s. president in the modern era has received these briefings but it's notable for the

practical purpose you heard president biden saying what's the value of getting these 3 things well biden has plenty of other former presidents to turn to for advice including of course barack obama who by it is served under as vice president if he were to make this move and he said that he will this is a unilateral thing that can be done without any other congress or any sort of approval needed and it is something that can happen without president trump really former president trump having any opportunity to object and i should add that trump has quite a history with concerns about revealing sensitive intelligence there was that 2017 incident when he shared with russian diplomats very sensitive israeli intelligence that angered the israelis and then later when he took a photo taken from a classified u.s. satellite image of an exploded launch pad in iran and she brought that out to the world on twitter which may have revealed some of us surveillance capabilities so

biden has a lot of history of trying to call upon in supporting his concerns for not continuing with these intelligence briefings all right thank you very much heidi joe castro in washington. on the news hour norway is 1st inflight to the skiing world cup. the player has that story it's all. ok calm and make sure you're not hyping the situation be part of the debate my main characters are women when no topic is off the table there was in the last allow child marriage to happen legally these are basically archaic walls they are often legitimize and wheedle why is pedophile on air online jumping to the quick section

a speech lute and that's the kind of pressure we want to face. the club world cup is testing a new approach to protect players from concussions now teams will be allowed to make an additional substitution if a player has a head injury andy richardson has this story from doha. the last thing any player wants is to get taken off during a game particularly during its ornaments like the club world cup but when it comes to concussion football authorities are aiming to change attitudes a concussion is often called the hidden injury because people don't limp or bleed or it goes unnoticed often doctors it costs us our sports or sports medicine hospital site educates implies about the risks of concussion is a key part of their job in an english premier league game late last year a head to head collision left will play around him with a fractured skull but arsenal started luis played on for a further 40 minutes the club insists he did pass and on pitch medical check if you

get a 2nd bang to the head before the 1st one is healed then it causes havoc in the brain and that can be it can be fatal we focus on the performance aspect of things because of somebodies brain is not functioning 100 percent it can affect your judgment on the field your reaction time and so on so you won't perform well most probably for the 1st time at a fee for tournament concussion substitutes are being trolled here at the club world cup in qatar it means even if its aim is used up all of its allowed replacements an additional substitute can be brought on if a player is struggling with a head injury a similar system is already used in rugby a key difference in that sport is the use of temporary replacements giving medical staff longer to assess a player before deciding if they're fit to continue. providing temporary concussion a substitute allows for medical teams to take a player off in the quiet confines of a treatment room or the dressing room and assess them over a period of at least 10 minutes by having permanent substitutes what you get if you

do it with that nothing would change that initial assessment is still going to be on the pitch in the heat of battle and that clarity house so ultimately still going to make that decision about whether or not to take a player off o.b. on a permanent basis without giving people an opportunity to make that assessment in the right environment to say the system being used at this tournament is on trial only and more research is needed before any permanent changes to the laws are approved and he reaches an al-jazeera doha. italian champions eventis have moved up to 3rd place in syria after 2 nil home went on saturday against roma all star christian or and also handed you the leave a day after his 36th birthday it's also his 17th goal of the season a 2nd half own goal wrapped up the 2 no victory. spanish champions real madrid had to fight back against west to secure a 21 legal win on saturday after falling behind the rough around that scored twice
