now to david kampala who's following developments from hong kong interviewer what more do we know what's the latest. well our sources on the ground say that those bullets fired in mandalay were rubber bullets security forces and police also used catapults to disperse crowds there they also tell us that journalists have been particularly targeted there with the rest maidan journalists being beaten meanwhile over and yeah and gone for the 1st time we've seen quite a heavy presence military presence there with tanks on the ground and armored vehicles now the protests numbers have somewhat. become smaller in the many cities across me and mar but what we also know is that there is in tandem a civil disobedience movement which means civil servants have not been showing up for work and trying to cripple several government functions but despite the show of defiance that seems to continue regardless of whether there are troops on the

ground or warnings from the military journal there is a concern and a fear that the situation could escalate particularly because those troops and those soldiers on the ground now are very visible are mostly from a unit known for their quite brutal campaigns against ethnic minority and protests in the past. has been pushed notes away. and the idea of what's going to. once again everything's up in the air and it's very unclear particularly because that military government keeps moving the goal posts whether it comes to rules for the protesters or the legal system or anything in general because they can then. lawyers say well the state has been set for wednesday it's still unclear whether it will be moved again or whether she will even be given a chance to appear in front of the courts now the gentiles presumably very

concerned about any kind of appearance for her in a public forum even if she doesn't speak just having her visible as she is seen as the symbol of the democratic movements could to galvanize these protests and also of concern is the latest changes in the laws we've seen over the weekend which are it can impose harsher punishments on protesters or any kind of dissent and also now allow security forces and the police to conduct searches and arrest without charge or and without without warrants and that's going to worry many of those protesters particularly as we come into the into the night when the curfew has been imposed many of them will be heading back home the streets will be quieter but it is also in the darkness in the cover of darkness where we see those arrests being made security forces and police and homes and taking people away without reason

and without any indication of when they will be seen next to give thanks for that devika parliament in home call. now the american ambassador has been summoned to turkey's foreign ministry to explain to us statement 12 to 13 turkish soldiers were executed in iraq the bodies were found last week in a cave in northern iraq during a turkish operation against fighters belonging to the kurdish workers party or p k k which is bounded to president reza typer the one described the u.s. statement condemning the killing joke he called on the united states to be the stand with turkey or against it so let's go live to city of course you're live in istanbul the city and tell us more about what's been happening. well nic since is to do for us it is a critical time for turkey because the turkish officials have been actually openly. accusing the west for being. being blind that

the case assists nations against the turkish people so today we heard the turkish foreign minister and turkey's friends than deck using the western countries and the united states then present our dance said that if you want to continue our alliance globally and nato then you must stop siding with terrorists he sat in a picket is listed as a terrorist organization not only in turkey but in the e.u. and the united states as well about however the syrian kurdish fighter group why p.j. which turkey emphasizes that it is organically and directly linked with the p k k is the international coalitions and the united states major partner in syria in the fight against iso also in iraq as well against isis so to end a turkish officials have been have been actually emphasizing that those weapons provided by the international coalition and the united states to the y.p. e.g.

in the fight against eisel will be we were turned against turkey and that's why prisons are gone actually has has criticised today and the u.s. statement a condemnation statement was released by washington but in the statement it's sad if the reports that those 13 turkish citizens were killed are true so this if words actually is the main reason why the turkish president lashed out today and the foreign ministry didn't state whether the summon is on this u.s. statement but it is most probably about the u.s. statement and the word if the reason why the u.s. ambassador is someone to foreign ministry today rose who will look into the splits from the u.s. government. oh well turkey has been fighting against the p.k. k. for at least 40 years and tens of thousands of peoples lost their lives in this

long fight against the scoop and the white peachy for turkey is direct the link with the p.k. because due in their camps you always see the picket kaley interest pictures and. if for instance the leader a muslim kolbein is used to be a former commander under leader upload your last saw turkey says you enlist the p.k. as a terrorist organization like we do i am your ally and i'm your nato ally as well but you are supporting the wife e.g. now you have to make a pick you have to pick either your nato ally or an armed group as your partner and those arms that you are providing to this fighter group is turned against us this is why this is what turkey expects from the united states to choose between turkey and the fighter group student loans that sucrose who the reporting from

istanbul. lebanon's nationwide covert $1000.00 vaccination program is underway bringing with it a sense of hope for the crisis hit country but with vaccine hesitancy running high and uncertainty over the supply of migrants it's feared that immunization could take a long time so to reports now from beirut. it's a start to end the coronavirus pandemic but the battle is far from over the elderly and health care workers have been on the front lines of this fight i the 1st in line to get the vaccine lebanon has seen some of the region's highest cases and deaths and now in january almost everybody every person has a family member or a relative what a friend because a coil of it might better have a quote covered but don't. know i'm secure from god but we feel it now and i would hope but not everyone is convinced about the vaccines the public is showing hesitancy so far $500000.00 lebanese have signed up that's less than 10 percent of the population. and i won't take now because there are still

a lot of question marks i will wait and see the lack of trust is also because of what many regard a corrupt system. and more of course i won't take it the fact the government is giving it to us for free means there will be a price to pay later. it seems the international community has little faith as well the world bank which is financing lebanon's purchase of vaccines will be monitoring the program to ensure a fair and transparent distribution the world bank didn't mince its words saying there will be no wasta that's arabic meaning you won't be able to use your connections to skip the line it's a common practice in lebanon where politicians have long been accused of favoritism . they're also blamed for failing to secure enough doses to inoculate 80 percent of the population by here and the state is nearly bankrupt would probably invite thing the public or the philanthropic sectors of the public to but it's

a pain to ensure the 40 of the the 4th but a cent more than needed but that presumes the private sector secures vaccines in a competitive market the government is also trying to get funds to vaccinate the hundreds of thousands of migrant workers lebanon is home to more than a 1000000 and a half syrian and palestinian refugees. on an off lock downs have led to economic devastation and death experts warn a patchwork response in the vaccination campaign as well would keep lebanon stuck in tragedy senyah for their beirut. still ahead here and out there as regional leaders arrive in china for the g.

on that he's been vilified that this is propaganda and there's a political agenda there are also many people who sympathize with him and said that he does want to appear at the commission with swelling with his rights at the same time he's not here to a summons which was issued by the commission and also previously the constitutional court had said he should appear at the commission and not doing that was undermining the law so we would have to wait to see what the constitutional court says next to to see whether or not zuma does continues to defy the commission as the commissioners and i have said he is doing or if he maintains it is right not to appear. the leaders of 5 countries in west africa chad the g 5 summit comes as attacks by armed groups to be increased in the region for as president a man or micron is expected to join the conference by video francis to put thousands of soldiers to back local troops but preparing to reduce its presence in

a feeling in france that we could governance and certainly fueling instability in the region michael also very keen to try and urge european partners to do more in the region on the ground but there is some good news says the least and it seems they say that at least we are seeing the reengagement of the u.s. in the region under donald trump interest in the so how a crisis certainly waned but it seems to have taken a turn with the biden administration and we understand that anthony blinken the new u.s. secretary of state will send a video message to the summit for tuesday. we're getting conflicting reports of hundreds of people may have been killed or wounded in fighting in german's mother province the rebels say they've taken control of a military camp while advancing on sarwar west of markup yemen's internationally recognized forces have reposed. both parties say the saudi coalition has conducted strikes in the area. syria says israeli jets struck near the capital damascus off
