word rob has begun to live you know if you think a lot of the time for most always under lockdown we are the wild traveling from miles where are the media going to go we go there and we give them a chance to tell their story. more process than me and this thousands take to the streets against monday's military coup while an internet shutdown continues. i'm kim burrell this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. anger at police boils over in chile the killing of the street. al-jazeera journalist paul hodes hussein is freed from prison in egypt after being detained

for more than 4 years. plus teachers and students in the philippines say the cancellation of a decade's old agreement could put academic freedom at risk. thousands of people have been protesting for a 2nd day and meanwhile against last week's military coup they're demanding an end to what they call a dictatorship many addressed in red that's the color of the national league for democracy party the in miles army seized control of the government at arrested it's a video this 6 days ago leaders have been false to a near total internet shutdown to try to silence dissent. davey's to hard is the founder of the alternative network on burma she joins us live by skype from bangkok thank you for your time how much are people risking by going out into the

streets and protesting in may and. we have to understand that in the past the military has reacted very violently with lethal force against people protesting the dictatorship at various parts of the most recent history so they are indeed taking a huge risk how do you see the war anticipate the military responding to this i think the military has been trying to create rumors that also suit you was released in order to calm people down and get them off the streets that has of worked and people are very very angry they know this is more than the n.l. the end. this is the future the young people are out on the streets and this military has messed with the wrong generation just remind our viewers of how the country got to this point because the civilian government or civilian leaders and

the military have had a very uneasy relationship haven't they yes the military tried to after much international pressure tried to create this hybrid situation where they were still nominally they were still having a nominally civilian government but the constitution essentially granted them huge powers over how did the country was run and when the n.l. the came back with a huge bigger majority in the general elections of november it became very clear that this would be intolerable for the military what can the international community do do you think that the international community has any sway when it comes to these military general so anon poll. the military leaders dictatorship is gambling on the fact that there will be a lot of statements but no real action it's time to target military companies

because the economics of the situation is an economic power is one of the motivating forces for the military to grab power like this was my next question would sanctions have an effect because what is the economic situation right now in me and mar also with the pandemic. there is an economic crisis going on in myanmar because of how the military mishandled penned they actually had a parallel system to the civilian government which attack to civilians and control them and even blocked humanitarian assistance this mess is hardly created by the military and we really need to ensure that they are targeted economic sanctions to weaken the out hold over the part of me and also very clear guidelines and strict monitoring to ensure any international aid is not nice used by the

regime. we'll have to leave it there for time thank you for that debbie the founder of the alternative r.c.n. network on burma. well it's going to add to our correspondents who is in the malaysian capital quite a long for 7 florence so as we were saying people are turning out again protesting for a 2nd day in me and mark against the what's the latest. yes we're getting reports that hundreds of people are once again out on the streets of yangon and again like on saturday many of them wearing red now holding red balloons as well red being the color of the national league for democracy the party that won the elections in november by a landslide we're also getting reports that dozens of people have turned up on the streets in mandalay the 2nd largest city in to protest and as well as small protests taking place in the coastal town of more than mean so clearly these

protests appear to be spreading across the country and this is not just the only form of defiance that the myanmar military are facing they've also been nightly protests noise protests in yangon people heard banging on parts honking their cars in the believe that loud noises will drive away evil there's also a civil disobedience movement with teachers medical workers government servants civil servants taking part in a strike now the myanmar military have shut down the internet 1st they blocked access to facebook to twitter to instagram and now there appears to be a near total shutdown of the internet in myanmar but clearly that has been enough to stop people from gathering on the streets to protest now we're not sure whether there's going to be any crackdown on protesters we know that the military have arrested people that arrested more than a dozen activists since the coup began and we're also hearing reports that people have been arrested for taking part in the noise protest and also in street protests

in mandalay on thursday now the military have a history of brutal repression they've used violence to put down uprisings in 1900 and also in 2007 so of course that's the fear and that's the chance that history can repeat itself and i think much will depend on just how large these protests are going to be and just how much longer they go on for. france i'm interested what is the reaction be so far from the diaspora. well we've been seeing protests happening around the world since the coup began since the coup took place on monday we've seen protests in japan in south korea and especially in thailand where there's a large community of myanmar people who live and work now and the pressure from the from the myanmar diaspora is not the only form of international pressure against the myanmar military we're also hearing from the international community the u.n.

security council has called on myanmar military to release people who've been detained including all son suchi and the president when they've not been seen in public since monday their lawyer says he hasn't been able to speak to either of them more than 100 people are still being held as far as we understand and that those numbers are coming from an activist group in neon ma the u.n. secure the u.n. secretary general has said that he aims to or he wants to try to unite the international community and create conditions that would. encourage or enable the generals to reverse the coup but. the myanmar military have been in power were in power for nearly 50 years from 1962 to 2011 until they willingly handed over power to send a civilian government and even then they had created conditions of this system of governance in such a way that they would still have political relevance that wasn't enough for the myanmar military they want to complete control and hence the coup on mondays it's

really kind of difficult to predict at this juncture what's going to be enough to persuade the generals to give back power to a democratically elected government can think of that fun story they're. covering developments from kuala lumpur. the killing of a street performer in chile has triggered protests against alleged police violence the 27 year old juggler was shot dead in a southern tell off the offices say he resisted a routine identity check emily soon reports. anger in the chilean capital over the police shooting of a young street performer police used water cannon as hundreds took to the streets in santiago to the bank parts and charge that officers the protesters wanted to show solidarity with 27 year old francisco martinez will marrow who were shot dead by police on friday officers say they opened fire because the juggler refused to

force under intense scrutiny with local and international watchdog alleging excessive use of force and she likes violations. it's always been like this in the last couple of decades because the police institution has never really been reforms there's a lot of human rights violations a lot of repression by that you know in police going on in the shanty towns near the capital and in the small and neighborhoods the poor neighborhoods which we never hear of well those living mpeg mourn the death of the young street performer but many are hopeful it will bring what they say is the much needed police accountability sue al jazeera. i was there a journalist muffled hussein has been released after more than 4 years in prison in egypt he was arrested in 2016 while visiting relatives in cairo was never formally charged with a crime or put on trial for ports. home at last and the joyful welcome for mahmoud hussein after 2 years in prison. multiple

it made not much sense to begin with because in essence it's taking asylum seekers from one of these central american countries and shuffling them back and forth with to the other countries involved after they've been rejected after seeking asylum at the u.s. border but what made little sense in that matter was that none of these countries are really safer than the other which is why these policies were criticized by humanitarians as deliberately putting vulnerable people back in danger biden ending these agreements now really changes nothing on the ground because there's still no decision on in his administration is part of what to do with the thousands of asylum seekers who are waiting at the southern border who are in mexico as you'll recall biden has pledged to undo all of trump's conservative border policies but there still has been no decision about how to resolve them and what is the

other option but what is assured is that there are thousands of migrants who are now journeying north and are now at the u.s. border and they are growing by the day and this is putting an immense strain on the border and pressing for quick solution from the biden ministration as even in the 1st few days of his time in office already a new border crisis is there confronting him. corpses of piling up in bolivia as a coronavirus overwhelms funeral homes and cemeteries bolivia is one of the america's poorest countries the recent increase in infections has pushed its health care system to the brink of collapse that obviously were. wrapped in blankets or plastic sheets or left. on the floor of cemeteries and funeral homes of the capital and other hard hit cities as bolivia struggles to deal with the 2nd wave of corona virus infections deadlier than the 1st. government officials fear the backlog could
