feel one. everyone. laugh at the. police fire gunshots into the. i'm our arrests in mandalay as thousands across the country. to protest the military coup. for their more carl this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. setting a precedent hong kong's highest court denies bail to media tycoon jimmy like he's

facing challenges on the beijing is controversial national security law. following the attack on january the 6th there must there must be truth and accountability. in the stage is set for donald trump's senate impeachment trial his lawyers deny he incited supporters to storm capitol hill plus. i'm a little bit random in northern india where rescuers are attempting to free dozens of people trapped in a tunnel since a catastrophic flood ripped through this mountainous region. but again a man ma where warning shots have been fired in manaus capital and. the military is cracking down on protests. these 27 people have been arrested in the

2nd largest city in mandalay and demonstrators have been hit with water cannon activists have replied pelting police for rocks and rubbish as they ignore bans on gatherings to demand the release of deposed civilian leader aung sun suu. against the joint has also been growing overseas in the last few hours new zealand has become the 1st country to announce action against the military every new zealander would be devastated to see. years of working so hard to build a democracy in me and to see. what we've seen in recent days unfold by the military . strong message is we will do what we can from here in new zealand and one of the things we can do is to spin and their high level dialogue at a political level we can put in place travel bans and we can make sure that the aid funding we put into me does not in any way support the military regime as go live

down to scott hi there he's following all the developments from bangkok and scott very dramatic pictures that we've been getting from the capital was you hearing about what's actually happening on the streets right now. laura right now as we can see from from the images we've been watching that things have definitely escalated now it depends obviously where you're talking about some areas there is still peaceful protesting go on there are still peaceful gatherings but in some places and at some periods of time there have been clashes you know we as you mentioned we had live fire shot warning shots at in the capital neighborhood or water cannon in multiple locations gone they put or as well as mandalay who had rubber bullets in mandalay that's the 2nd largest city in myanmar there are reports of at least 3 people wounded by rubber bullets and those arrest 27 at least 27 people have been arrested so it's definitely escalating when you look at you know

the images back over the weekend when you know these protest movements the civil disobedience movement really started tens of thousands very peaceful very little security presence security force presence on the streets that is slowly and steadily ramped up but today is what we're seeing really the crackdown that has now started and we saw a little bit of water cannon on monday nothing compared to what we've seen over the last hours today on tuesday now it will be interesting to see how this goes forward what's going to happen with the protest movement they are resolute they will definitely continue with their their mission if you will but will they change tactics what will they do coming in the hours and days ahead but really right now what we've seen is the security forces taking a stand and pushing back whereas before they were letting the protesters go and march and gather maybe thinking that thing was things would fizzle out that clearly has not happened and who is dictating how these protests pan out who that will get

eyes in them and how are they getting the message around. well it's interesting there's an organization called $88.00 generation of this is goes back to a group of protesters pro-democracy protesters back in 1988 there was a bloody crackdown by the military forces then and there are still some of them out there helping to organize they issued a statement end of last week over the weekend that pretty much said we've got experience in this kind of protests and what you need to do is organize so there was a kind of a call from them to organize but what's interesting is there hasn't been 11 or 2 leaders that have kind of surfaced and stand on the big stage and give big speeches that hasn't happened yet but what it made might not ever happen but what has happened is different groups from different walks of life trade unions teachers unions civil servant groups students they have all come together and have joined forces together for this civil disobedience movement for these protests so that

seems to be the way that this is really kind of swell the numbers is that you have different groups that have their own organization and then they have joined the overall movement now what's going to happen moving forward will they continue to keep it that way and we're not sure but again you're not looking at really kind of a 0 a single figure or a group of figures that have kind of risen to the top and orchestrated everything this seems to be pretty fairly organic as it is now but one thing that is constant with all those different groups is they're resolute in their mission and that is to reinstall the democratically elected government that was ousted from power last monday absolutely opposite to me i put the whole goal is one thing in common how do they reinstate saying the government and the de facto leader on the song suchi who was democratically elected in november have we heard any well from her posse the l.d.n. for the pos few days. well through the process

they have been really more back last week maybe mid last week early last week just after the coup they were demanding that the end of the leaders be released on suchi be released as far as their direct involvement with this protest movement there hasn't been any kind of voice coming out official voice coming out from that political party saying this is what we need to do this is where we need to go a general call went out saying this needs to we need to protest against this there needs to be civil disobedience against this wrong as they saw it the military coup and one person who was saying that a top advisor to on song suchi he was detained a couple of days after he made that kind of statement so one thing that we really need to remember going through this process is it. was very very popular at the end of the was very very popular inside myanmar you know that they want to landslide victory back in november the military party they didn't do well at all so when you look at the sheer number of people coming out on the streets and mentally that is

indicative of the support the love that a lot of these people have for the end of the end for unsung suchi so that i believe other than that they feel as though their democracy is being eroded by the military that i believe is one of the main reasons why they're out there the emotion of why they're out there because they see so many and a party that they voted for that they that they follow that they support has been taken away from them so that's why they're out there in the streets in big numbers absent in ok scott for the moment thanks very much for bringing us the latest lines that from by and cook so a human rights activist who is involved in the 1988 people's uprising he says young people are leading the fight against the military. this brazing what is different from what we. experience in 1980 s. that a lot of the young people especially the young people who go to. vote in

the previous go with 20 alexis family been as young as that 18 need to be a little over 18 years old and then most of the people involved in this 3 of the at the moon base in protests in young go between 20 and 38 of the young people so it's very encouraging to see that we call it the 10 reasons that people are leading the democrats in every way. hong kong's top court has denied biles a media titan jimmy lime is accused of fraud of conspiring with foreign sources on the beijing controversial national security law she is the most high profile person among more than 100 people have been arrested under the new legislation the 73 year old is to remain in custody until his trial is. on today's ruling is likely set a precedent for future trials as it upon and reports from hong kong. to realize i was in 4th for less than 10 minutes before you found out you would not be given

bail so he has now been taken back into custody presumably presumably until his trial on april 16th this is also the 1st trial by. new chief justice who took the helm on in january and he's told jimmy lies legal team but they can challenge this but not back at the courts of final appeal but so that sets a nother dilemma for jr and his legal team that's if you recall in december he was granted bail by one of the lower courts that was challenge by the department of justice who said that the lower courts did not understand the tenets of the national security law and this is why jimmy life took his case or took his challenge to that ruling back to the courts of final appeal now this sets many kinds of precedence for one thing there was a lot of attention being paid to this it was the 1st case to reach the national

security law case $3.00 to $4.00 courts of final appeal to me alive also had gotten bail but also said in another precedent meaning that those charges on the national security law would be able to get bail but this ruling now essentially means that. unless you have the resources and means to challenge the national security law and the rulings given even before trial it is very unlikely you will get bail. because in india trying to find 197 people missing 48 hours of drug last collapse and triggered flash floods. because of believed to be trapped in the tunnel at least 26 bodies have been recovered 2000 soldiers and police officers helping with the rescue efforts this is a problem as at the size of those rescue efforts and top of that the latest. we're at the tunnel where hundreds of rescue workers are continuing their search for

around 35 people who were working in the tunnel when it flooded on sunday a rescue was worked throughout monday night they say one of the biggest challenges is the amount of mud and slush that's inside the 2 and a half kilometer long tunnel they've been able to enter about a couple of 100 meters and but they say any time they clear the 4 to 6 feet of mud and slush more as falling in from the inside they haven't been able to establish communication yet with anyone inside the tunnel they said that that could be because it is 2 and a half kilometers long and they might not be any cell phone signal they're worried that workers could be suffering from hypothermia with temperatures dropping to below 0 degrees at night now away from here there is a humanitarian mission going on to deliver food rations to people in around 13 villages who have been cut off after bridges were washed away this latest disaster in that icon the has led to many people many environmentalists questioning why

these hydro power plants and these dams continue to be built in the himalayas which is known as a very ecologically fragile sensitive region they say that they should not have been built here protests in the past have managed to stop other dams from being constructed but despite that there are around 50 dams and power plants including those under construction in this region and that are cut and. run to man and as a senior fellow with the center for policy research and she joins us via skype from new delhi good to have you with us how much hydroelectric dams to blame for this disaster. i hang slapping me international it's clearly not possible to save that data are the only cause of what happened in the unfortunate event that is taking place in for a country on sunday but clearly they have a board to play in intensifying the scale of impacts that the whole region is

facing now. have been contentious the world and in all the kinds of ecological and social impacts that they have caused for decades. and these ecological and social impacts are most of that i understand when these projects are planned and approved by governments. but more importantly once what's critical is that with climate change playing a very important role in how our environments are getting transplant there is a huge effect that climate change has on how these structures can be expected to operate the planet changing not been warming has pretty much mendo and all the logical view that we have quite useless and so it becomes extremely difficult to. put out projects and to exit get them in

a way that's planned and to not face these risks and on so i would say. other than the any moves by by the government by engineers to reassess the dams and how they work and reassess new plans for them. yes so in india there was a point you know towards the only 2000 when there was a mutually assessment of dams because of the balance of social any logical impacts on that in india unfortunately one of the. one of the outcomes of international climate policy has been acceptance of dan's part of you know the energy policies of countries and that is us seen now as renewable projects and so despite the kind of serious ecological and social

issues that the now have in the area it's downs are seen as an important. as an important technology to reduce our carbon emissions and so that reassessment that is unfortunately has been more in then feeble rather than a critical assessment because of the impact do you expect that now to change in light of this disaster. whether it will be difficult but not impossible i think because it's not that these dams especially the ones coming up that they might have not had of hormones at the highest levels of the government. or your water sources minister he has been very much against these projects being put up on these. and there's a lot of not a lot position to these projects because of the kinds of consequences they have for

their livelihoods and for people living in these godowns and for workers so we hope that there will be you know your sets meant of these projects like there was only yes that's meant all of these projects are there the 20 per diem that not plans that took place in the same region ok manjit menand thank you very much taking the time to share your expertise with us there from new delhi thank you. still ahead on al-jazeera iran begins rolling out ok the 19 vaccines frontline health care workers get the 1st jabs. and we look as one of the fastest growing sports in the world title. the show is a gathering in the philippines and i think was popular particularly as the line
