their dreams 21000 was a year of development and 2020 there was coronavirus and we were all thinking about the future but everything is gone now everything we were hoping for is going to be destroyed that's why more people are joining the protests than in the past in kitchen stays in the far north a tense standoff between protesters and police this is one of the areas where the military has struggled for years to suppress ethnic and rest but now there's news men most diverse ethnic groups have signed a nationwide ceasefire to unite in opposition to military rule. so let's get more now from tony who is in the thai capital bangkok is there now a worry that the military could start to crack down much harder on the protesters using more live ammunition. i think that's the concern something that i think many people are worried about outside memo we've seen wall.

from the united nations the state department many countries in the e.u. but also particularly within me and mark people have been very aware that as they've gone out on the streets we're now entering the 3rd week since the coup these protests have got bigger and bigger the military we have seen them cracking down but not with the kind of severity i think that many people imagine but yesterday's crackdown was clearly intended the 11th light in the infantry who appear to be behind this crackdown are well known for their return to they've been engaged in various actions and in border areas against ethnic groups particularly against the ring in 2017 when they were notoriously brutal. so they were. away from their base which is just outside yang go on we've also seen footage emerging overnight of soldiers going around in a very organized and turman manner firing live rounds so it appears that this just

wasn't a flash of a handful of soldiers that got out of control that said that was the only place where it's happened there were large protests also up in the far north think of chin state in knepper door the capital the largest protest took place in yangon the old capital where protesters told me yes the they felt relatively secure the security services with their in relatively large numbers but they said they didn't threaten a tall now whether the intention of the military here is to fire a warning shot as it were to get the message across to protesters around the country that this is what was to come or whether the this is the start of a much wider crackdown isn't clear yet much of myanmar has been in the dark of the night with with an internet shut down that's been going on for the past week but today protesters say they are going to continue those protests and we'll wait and see what the reaction is going to be

a force here tony as you say we've seen strong international condemnation at the killing of those protesters but is that likely them to bring yet more people onto the streets. it may well do and some of the things we've heard from protesters is that they are more and more determined. we've also seen this campaign of civil disobedience which seems to be having a fairly profound impact people just refusing to go into their jobs and this is affecting particularly badly transport systems the banking system understand that the railways in yangon now effectively shut down we've heard that flight schedules in for domestic flights in myanmar have closed down with pilots refusing to turn up many civil servants going into work and now while it is a huge problem for ordinary people it is also a major problem for the military who i think were trying to sell this coup as a recess seeing that they would get life back to normal relatively quickly well it seems that most people are determined to put up with these discomforts if it

forces out the military and i think that is going to push the military into a corner. where they will either had to come out fighting or they'll have to back off or attorney general in the thai capital bangkok tony thank you. russian opposition leader alexina valmy has suffered 2 legal defeats in one day kremlin critic lost an appeal against his nearly 3 year jail term and was fined for defamation in a separate case as more. alexina valley knows this drill well he's been in the defendant's cage of a russian courtroom so many times before you know those judges almost never overturn a conviction you know the chances of vattel reaping smaller for the kremlin's most high profile critic. so novelli listen to the expected rejection of his appeal and gave a customer really sarcastic reply they reduced my sentence by 1.5 months great he

welcome back a quick amount of our top stories here at this hour international condemnation of me and mass military is growing up of the bloodiest day in more than 2 weeks of protests 2 people have been killed in violence in the 2nd largest city manager and . russian opposition leader alexina valley has lost 2 legal battles in a day the kremlin critics appeal against a jail term of nearly 3 years has been rejected and he's been fined for defamation in a separate case large chunks of an aircraft engine up for them to the suburbs of denver in the u.s. after one of its engines caught fire the boeing triple 7 landed safely at denver's airport but one large piece of the engine not only missed our home. several hits have hit an iraqi military installation injuring at least one local contractor and the group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack on balad air base north of baghdad hours earlier iraqi security forces raided an iso hideout an heiress around

are ready to talk but are taking a cautious approach not to undermine their negotiating positions. i think what's going to happen is that both sides will end up having to move just enough at the same time that is what has happened in the past when they've gotten stuck in this way and that is likely what is going to happen this time brummel we do have is the complication with maginnis all of this says that a significant degree of the inspections are going to be halted from tuesday and on words i suspect that will happen there is that the iranians will not halward as much as the 1st but it will go forward a little bit as a result of the proposal to meet this is similar to what the u.s. has done young that if the u.s. is not on the full way when he comes to rejoining the agreement but instead is offering to talk while it continues to have the sanctions off i don't think the iranians do not want to engage the problem they have is that if the starting gauging biting restrictionists they're continuing to pursue trumps policy that will

both undermine their negotiating position and it will significantly put their rouhani government under attack at home so the idea is to find some sort of a choreography that allows both sides to save face move forward but not in such a way that it undermines the negotiating position nor undermines their domestic political position remember what the biden restriction is concerned about is that it would rejoin the agreement too quickly and because of all the criticism you will get from isreal from saudi arabia and from republicans in washington d.c. u.s. president joe biden has approved a major disaster declaration for texas freeing up in the agency federal funds to the states deadly winter freeze millions of people have had to deal with days of power and water cuts after a massive snowstorm overwhelmed utility power plants are back on line but blackouts persist and many people are still having to boil the drinking water. well u.s. congresswoman alexandra cortez has raised more than $3000000.00 towards relief

what the biggest need to be to get so-called herd immunity or to get the numbers that we need to see to eventually open up international borders or prevent these snap lock downs of cities that we're seeing when we have small outbreaks of closed 19 so if we don't know the actual figures as to how many people need to be vaccinated these trailing government is putting it in the people's hands to say the spec scene is safe. argentina has put a new person in charge of its coronavirus response the health minister has been replaced opera vaccines gamble where influential people were not to jump the queue down osama reports now from capitol. hill and the origin time president obama too often and is swearing in his new health minister call of the sortie king to put behind him a scandal over his government's handling of the covered 900 pandemic. just a few days ago the now disgraced former health minister genius gonzalez garcia was
