disobedience campaign seems to be shaping up again what's happening now and also where it is on concert she. kim yes it's shipping up to what we saw a really kind of form over the day on a wednesday yesterday what's how it started both they started is this broken down car campaign where hundreds if not thousands of people in yangon drive into the center of the city and just pretend that their car is broken down obviously this is to stymie flow of military vehicles and also just to kind of create a little bit of disruption if not a little bit a lot of disruption and then what they did today thursday's took that a step further after they finished up finished their the campaign of the broken down cars then they just drove very slowly again to really kind of disrupt things in the center part of yangon and what's interesting is that you know yesterday part of the reason they did that was to get ready for a large protest movement and that's what we're seeing again today in yangon and

elsewhere around the city not just in the center part we're seeing again them the protesters the anti who protesters gather in front of foreign embassies this today this time around it is the russian embassy this is part of their their effort to raise the international view of of what's going on in myanmar raise what's going on there dissatisfaction with the military coup to the international community so they will do something and obviously we have been hearing from different nations we have been hearing from the united nations but they continue to do that and really stage some of the larger protests out front of these embassies as to young son suchi she is still being detained she was detained in the very early hours of february 1st the 1st hours of this coup and there was an initial charge brought a lot brought on her and then we heard a 2nd charge brought on that now officials are saying that she won't have her hearing until march 1st and so there's been a restaurants as we mentioned issued for. supporting the protests i mean is this

now. beyond just the politically connected. it is it's going to people who are just participating encouraging participation in this protest movement so it's really interesting when you you know you can kind of look at it particular when you talk about you know maybe some celebrities well known inside myanmar being targeted by a military giunta it seems to be almost desperate they're worried about you know maintaining their profile their position as the as the leading organization of the country but then you have this massively growing protest movement so they're doing anything to stop that but it's clear that they're just not able to do that when you look at the streets right now when you look at what's unfolded over the last 2 weeks plus so it appears as though what they're going to try to do is go after these high profile people and then just really kind of make an example of them hopefully to stoke fear in those who are going out on the streets so far that

tactic has not worked. ok scott heide across developments from bangkok thank you jailed hong kong media tycoon jimmy lie is back in court to make a fresh appeal for the bail he's accused of holding conspiring with foreign forces on the beijing's controversial national security bill nye is the most high profile person among more than 100 people arrested under the new legislation adrian brown is covering this for us from hong kong. arrived here at the high court in central hong kong a few hours ago he's appearing in court because he's trying to get the judge to overrule an earlier court decision to deny him bail in his national security case not this legal odyssey that jimmy lie actually began back in may and i remember at the time asking him whether he thought the various charges he was facing could possibly be politically motivated perhaps even backed by china and he looked at me

and said you know what do you think and that's certainly the feeling of many of his supporters they feel that he is the victim of of a deepening political vendetta last night also came word in the local media anyway which is yet to be confirmed by hong kong police the jimmy lie has been charged a 2nd time under the national security law with helping a group of activists to flee hong kong by boat so if you're a betting man i think it's fair to assume that you know jimmy live really is facing the prospect of a very long time in jail if he is convicted he is facing multiple trials at the moment he's accused of fraud taking part in an illegal assembly and now 2 violations of the national security law cambodia's government has unveiled plans to set up a fire wall 'd some lists china's to control and monitor on traffic officials say

decision means. i think the fact that they've had some success in google announcing that they had signed deals for similar sort of commercial revenue sharing with other media and overnight we hear news limited around the world to murdoch's empire that the fact that it's been possible to make a commercial arrangement there i think makes it much less likely that the australian government would. back down they're not really facing a united front here google's worked out ways of essentially coming to terms with their request to share the online ad revenue and facebook in a sense has. played a very strong hand and demonstrated that it has unilateral control over content that everybody sees basically in every country around the world but they have a bit on the nose lightly so it's going to be interesting busy. these are global
