where an outbreak has already killed 3 people and infected several several others. dozens are killed in yemen's mara province as the rebels scale up their offensive to capture the northern stronghold of the internationally recognized government. and the race to models why the red planet has become the focus of multiple space missions. but we begin in myanmar where there are fears of a violent crackdown 2 weeks after the military seized power in a crew u.n. secretary general antonio tera says he's concerned about the increasing use of force and the reports of all of vehicles on the streets of major cities there a convoy was seen in the commercial capital yangon what's believed to be the 1st time since the crew the u.s. is warning its citizens there to stay at home and the internet has once again been

shut down across much of the country. all at one demonstration on sunday security forces fired shots to disperse a crowd which is gathered outside a power plant was given a voice was. it's unclear and the footage that was also live streamed on facebook whether they used rubber bullets or live ammunition there's been growing defiance and public protests over the past 2 weeks more than 380 people have now been detained while army generals have now also given themselves new powers to monitor search and arrest demonstrators front slowly reports. i wasn't of people gather in different parts of god but all with the same demands they wanted leader aung san suu kyi and others detained since the coup to be released and for the military to hand back control. was with me. i am. sure there are some of. them agree that. i was right.

in mandalay students on it a young protester shot by police during a protest in a.p. during last week she remains in critical condition this is the 9th consecutive day of mass demonstrations across the country. some protesters held signs that read stop kidnapping people at night a reference to nighttime raids by police when activists and protesters are arrested in some neighborhoods people have banded together to form watch groups to warn each other when security forces are coming but also to look out for criminals in this neighborhood of yangon residents say they court 4 men they suspect of planning to carry out an attack. they believe the men are recently released prisoners freed under an amnesty announced by the military on friday. we think the military intends

to cause violence with these extreme and knows by getting them to infiltrate the peaceful protests in the military will have a reason to extend their power to crackdown on violence. his claim cannot be independently verified a group that advocates for political prisoners in myanmar has expressed concerns that the pardon for more than $23000.00 prisoners is too clear space for the detention of detainees during the current to protest the military is also bringing back repressive laws used by the previous military giunta including a requirement for people to report overnight guests in their homes to authorities around 360 people detained since the coup are still being held but neither the risk of arrest no fear of a crackdown on nuff to deter these protesters from taking to the streets florence italy al-jazeera or let's speak to scott hyde and i he is monitoring things for us from bangkok and neighboring thailand scott obviously with this internet blackout

across the country i know it's hard to get information out but what do we know at this stage about what's happening there on the ground. the study we were actually able to make contact with a part of our team on the ground in yangon within just the last 20 minutes now the internet blackout as you were talking about really goes on for another 30 minutes we're i was able to communicate with him and he describes a very sleepless nights he said in yemen gone there were at least 15 patrols going around the city he didn't mention apc's own personal carriers that we have evidence that they are in yangon but he said these patrols are police vans and water cannon trucks and obviously that's concerning but particularly when you have a night where the internet was shut off and he said that the biggest concern are these patrols going after government workers who have joined the civil disobedience movement so that was the big concern overnight but as you can well imagine a sleepless night and one thing that's very interesting going into this internet

blackout at the end of sunday the a group of embassies in yangon in myanmar issued a statement and at the end of it said the world is watching so a definitely the world is watching and the government the military government in myanmar is trying to prevent it from watching but still word coming out against sleepless nights protests are going to be planned again today but they haven't sort of form yet but again will start to probably hear more in the next half hour when the internet is supposed to be shut back on well there have been 70 arrest and detention under what they have charged her with my man standing is supposed to expire today monday but there is this mounting international pressure as you say on the generals do you get the sense of that's making any difference. the international pressure really hasn't seemed to alter the way that the military has been reacting to this this protest movement and the civil disobedience movement

what we can maybe expect today you know that as we heard in florence this piece that the military is kind of making up the rules as they go along so even though on song suchi and those others who were detained the 1st day of the coup hours after the coup was staged that they might just alter the rules to make sure that they're allowed to that they are legally able to keep them in detention so i would really look at that as like ok it's been 2 weeks she's supposed to be released there might be a hearing there might be just another announcement of a law or a rule that will extend that detention but yes that's it's concerning because not only are we looking at those those democratically elected leaders who are still in detention but we're talking about the hundreds of people who also have been rounded up if you will since then and again you know we don't really know the details but the theory the idea is that that probably continued last night scott had had there with all the latest for us from neighboring thailand thanks so much scott how

the world health organization is planning a rapid response to an abode outbreak in guinea the fast resurgence of the disease there and 5 yes 8 people have already tested positive for the virus in the country southeast 3 have died at least $11000.00 people died during and of aila epidemic in west africa between 2002016 and now liberia is stepping up efforts to try to prevent the virus from crossing the border have a look at this map the deaths in guinea were reported in a town close to liberia and the country was declared free from about 2015 noted cases have been detected this since. well a 4th case of a has been confirmed in north kivu province and democratic republic of congo a new outbreak was announced a week ago now the world health organization says as many as 180 people might have been exposed to the virus already and health workers are now racing to vaccinate people to prevent a big outbreak has this update for us from dhaka and get the following test made on

the individual these tests that were made in blood tests. machines that we usually use for the current outbreak were used to confirm that person had died from. that all started that person is a nurse that fell ill in january and she was taken to hospital and zurich or a she was suffering from vomiting bleeding diarrhea and a week later she was buried nearby in a town nearby and it is jury that funeral that 8 other were infected with the virus now the minister of health says that it has dispatched at least 30 health workers to investigate and to try to find contact cases to trace and try to contain this outbreak meanwhile neighboring liberia has put its health authorities on a higher alert because if that funeral happened just very close to the border of

liberia and worth remembering during the 201320158 bold outbreak in the region well it all started in that very region and and these funerals that were super spread were 60 percent of all infections came from funerals and that's because of the practices that happened during those burials of. people washing their hands in common basins and then touch the body of the deceased and then there is the washing of the body itself which favors the transmission of the virus. now syria says israeli jets have struck near the capital damascus after flying over the occupied golan heights the syrian army also says ed offenses intercepted most messias activists say israel has targeted iranian backed militias in recent weeks while dozens of people have been killed in fighting in northern yemen who the rebels have intensified their attacks against forces from the internationally recognized government victoria gate b.

the national army and popular resistance along with the on astroids we're all standing in defiance defending the city it is and will always be the heartland of our republic. saudi arabia has invested heavily in the recent is the saudi coalition has intensified as strikes to stop the hit these from seizing the city but i think it goes to show that you know there's much work to be done you know on behalf of the yemenis to advance peace and shows that you know the who these have made in amends you know they have a lot of momentum militarily but you know the international community needs to do what it needs to do to support diplomacy in a peaceful ceasefire negotiation. but the upsurge in violence comes is the u.s. is due to lift its terrorist designation for the his these on tuesday. president joe biden the united nations and aid groups say the designation is worsening an

hello again i'm a saucy attainder let's remind you of our top stories this hour the u.n. secretary general says he's deeply concerned about all of vehicles reported in various cities in myanmar a convoy was seen in yangon earlier for the 1st time since a military coup 2 weeks ago. the world health organization is planning a rapid response to a bold outbreak in guinea the 1st resurgence of the disease there in 5 years 8 people have now tested positive for the virus and $3.00. dozens of people have been killed in fighting in northern yemen the rebels are trying to seize the city of marriage than have intensified their attacks against forces from the internationally recognized government. exit polls and catalonia are projecting the 3 main separatist parties jointly winning a majority of seats in the regional parliament that vote could reshape the

political landscape socialist party p s o e is projected to win the most votes bonce separatist parties are expected to claim up to 60 percent of seats in the parliament and barcelona far right party vox is also likely to get representatives elected that for the 1st time modern era vacas is a professor of constitutional nor at barcelona university and she says separatist parties have dominated these elections. that means that they are not moving on as the socialist party leader wanted to were claiming you were saying that we needed to move on and many people things that we need to move on here in catalonia but the fact that more than 50 percent of the seats at the cut on parliament still go for in the bin and this part is that means that catalonia it's not very great to move on without talking about. the current situation the thing is that since

282017 before previously in 2017 all parties were sticking together but right now there are a lot of the visions because independent is movement here in catalonia it's a very diverse movement it comes from the far. left to the to the right so they're all types of in the bend of this party so that means that all these the visions have brought. different 6 different parties 3 now we have 9 different parties at the capitol parliament in trying to get them our independent this and all that and there are more than 50 percent of the seats but these men also that we have no cattle in parliament and a string through the right wing party that west not previously repair center tear at the cattle parliament but i don't think it's also a reaction to the fact that all these independent the small man that wants to do to

get out from a strain this has been are actually from the part of the. population that doesn't want these independents. preliminary results and cost of those elections suggests there will be a major political change there with a victory for the anti establishment of a friend party early vote counts give that left wing party led by former prime minister alvin kirti just over 46 percent of the votes he's promising to fight corruption but also to take a hard line and relations with serbia the semi autonomous region of kosovo declared its independence and 2008 but serbia doesn't recognise that now of dan's arches in the capital pristina he says a victory doesn't mean it will be easy for cathy to form a couple of. his supporters are already celebrating despite these are the preliminaries. they are on the streets of the british and they are the sell everything but for many of our reveal be a long and probably complicated process as a course of

a parliament has $120.00 seats and house passed one is needed to form a government so the other cortical probably. will probably need to have some part in god how can that be it's too early to say in this very moment but what we know so far is that he's lost the governments that was forming october 2019 almost a majority by this. partnering the time democratic legal. issues of dealing. with also the issue of. the projections are the outcome will probably complicate. of course beyond their future relations as i said before and on the lines to be. independent it is that there is no proof there is no space for negotiating on the

other hand. they are willing to negotiate on almost every issue except to recognize. he is foreign minister has told al jazeera the government is listening to the divans of protesters after weeks of unrest and calls for the president to step down. as opponents say he stayed in office illegally after his time ended a week ago but says he still has one year left to serve he also says he stopped a plot to overthrow him but human rights activists say he's rather going off to anyone who opposes him to raise the bar reports. clashes between protesters and the police have been ongoing in haiti for the past weeks. the opposition in the country says presidency of an illinois mandate ended on february 7th while the government says it has one more year left. the discussion is over when he's time began and

maurice took office in 2017 because of the political instability in the country but protesters say the constitution says something else a deceiver spoke to foreign minister. over the political crisis in the caribbean nation the large sectors in the country that say that what's happening now is illegal and the president said that there was an attempt on his life that are cool it was being set up in haiti 3 judges from the supreme court were removed one of them was detained so if haiti is democracy at risk haiti is not a democracy at risk what the government is trying to do and we are doing our utmost to keep it is to preserve the marcos in haiti. we have seen over and over how of us some politicians in some oligarchs are 'd trying to lose all illegal means

to actually claim power in haiti so this is exactly what is going on now but foreign minister you're talking about oligarchs and about how they handle power in haiti but when you look at the streets of haiti the people of that are on those streets demanding change demanding action criticizing the president are actually demanding that their lives improve i mean they're not oligarchy so i mean what do you say to them no they are not oligarch and all democracy it's not only here in the united states of great democracy how you can call it you have people of. testing and some of them are not i should say use of violent means but the entrusting thing here is that the government is paying attention to what the people asking they are asking for they lived to be improved

those are legitimate concerns and we agree and the government is a walking on the president says he will call for a referendum that would lead to the reform of haiti's constitution and says legislative and presidential elections will happen this year the international community including the oas and the u.s. seem to support the president's move on the streets discontent is on the rice and people say they will make sure they won't be annoyed. for many an independent media has been one of afghanistan's biggest achievement since 2001 but it's come at a price afghan journalists especially women have been threatened intimidated and even killed especially at the only all female station than t.v. . reports now from kabul. in the basement over houses not. had ever hope to be but the been demick and financial problems forced

the founder of the all female station to reduce the staff and cut costs and when the targeted killings of journalists began some women left and others were told by their families to stop working so hard some are ask the government for help this is the muscles of the government for all the t.v. station by the weapons where somebody would get the license but even with the license the report that the weapons but even with the license we need to just wait for the government that would be the shouldn't it is the promote. the permit for the workers the license. on t.v. went on there in 2017 with 70 staff and only few men the international community and afghan officials pledged support but now all that has changed. this is done t.v.'s new control room former journalists are supposed to be broadcasting their programs it's small and basic not only because the new facilities are limited but also because only half of the original staff remain at the station. about

a dozen of them work out of another couple station while they wait for security to improve and move to their new facilities 80 percent of the station's programming has been dropped and he broadcasts online for only a few hours a week those who are left carrying on is risky so i want to ask. when i leave my home my father asks me where am i going if i'm going to zante who is with me if i have my colleagues with me not only my family where all those women who are working in the media in afghanistan their families are concerned about their safety. facing threats of targeted assassinations the women here say they are scared but refused to stop one day our director told us the be careful all with yourselves because we faced a treat and also there you know all of that we face feel like we will

die like we feel like that but when we see a country situation when we see or woman those who can't work those who need to writhe the our hands so we save or with ourself if we stop or a way so we can trace the our hands one local organization that supports media in afghanistan says 7 media workers have been killed recently within 9 weeks the director says the government must protect and support journalists and fears much progress in afghanistan's media over the last 20 years could be lost more than 15 of. best join a list of the khan they said goodbye maybe tens of them they are working still they are observing to change the field of working. they are observing

or thinking or deal making decision on how to change it this is the catastrophe that could i could see it and it's them in concert. but for now it's on t.v. everyone says they'll keep the station alive no matter how difficult that is fully a contraflow al-jazeera kabul. now the united arab emirates has released the 1st image of mars taken by its hope probe it reached the red planet's all this on tuesday hope was the 1st of 3 missions in really quick succession of china's chan when one rover arrived in orbit the very next day the nasa rover perseverance will touch down there on thursday with dr keith smith has been following all these mars missions closely and his capacity as editor of science magazine he says there are several reasons behind the growing interest in the red planet. well has been an increase in the number of different space agencies are spending probes to mars in

the last few years and part of that is the fact that the cost. has come down because of commercial. but also there has been an increase in the number of different countries around the world who see value in doing this sort of science in sending our spacecraft to other planets to learn more about them and part of that is to do with the scientific things we can learn and we can search for signs of life on mars and we can understand how it's climate has changed and things like that and some of it is to do with generating our high tech industry for their economies now the u.s. space agency was only set up in 20 quarter in and this is its 1st mission anywhere and it's extremely ambitious of them to have gone straight for a mission to mars and so far the race is doing extremely well and part of our is

they've collaborated with other countries on this as well they've worked with. people in the u.s. to help build the spacecraft and they work with the japanese who provide the launch vehicle and so forth and as a result they've been able to learn a lot of the skills necessary to transfer the number and this is the benefit of doing it this way is that you can learn how to operate a spacecraft that way much more quickly than if you're having to do with the u.n. charter never. heard of alice al-jazeera and these are the headlines u.n. secretary general antonio terra says he's concerned about the increasing use of force in myanmar and of what's of all of vehicles on the streets of major cities there are concerns or violent crackdown on dissent 2 weeks after the military parent the internet has once again and shut down scott highly is not a chain or.
