largest crowds despite a police cordon around the soon go to the crowds just move down the road chanting for the release of aung san suu kyi she remains under military detention and there's a campaign of civil disobedience starts to impact transport and banking systems across myanmar some feel they have nothing to lose was young people have their dreams $29000.00 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 the tense standoff between protesters and police this is one of the areas where the military has struggled for years to suppress ethnic unrest but now there's news men most diverse ethnic groups have signed a nationwide ceasefire to unite in opposition to military rule. but as we mentioned

international. it is islam is getting stronger following saturday's violence the u.n. secretary general tweeted his condemnation of the use of lethal force the u.s. state department says washington is deeply concerned and that it stands by the people the u.k. says it's considering taking further action against those who it says are crushing democracy and the e.u. has called on the military to end its action against civilians its foreign affairs council will meet on monday let's get more now from attorney cheney in bangkok tony so how worried are people there at the military could start to crack down even harder on the protesters using live ammunition again. i think that's the big concern certainly sideman my you heard those condemnations antonio good good here is saying we condemn the violence he urged all parties to respect the election results and for a return to civilian government but i think people in me and within me and my will have been very aware of the danger they face the dealing with

a military that has shown no qualms in the past about cracking down with lethal force and i think when they went out on the streets to protest this coup they will have been acutely aware of the fact that these were the dangers they were facing that said we have seen today people going out back on the streets in yangon on in mandalay where the crackdown itself happened yesterday apparently an even greater numbers than they were yesterday up in the north in kitchin state in darwin so people don't seem to be deterred as you heard in the piece i think people are very aware that this is a coup which threatens all of the gains they have made both democratic but also economic in the last 5 years and they are prepared to literally put themselves on the line to make sure those are lost tony as you say we've seen strong international condemnation of the killing of those protesters is that likely to give them impetus to bring more people back onto the streets.

well again i think we're seeing today that facing those threats people are going to make their voices heard even louder than they have been in the last couple of weeks the numbers do seem to be coming up but i think they're also going to be targeting those sort of those pressure points that they think will yield best fruit stand from contacting young gone today that instead of targeting downtown where the major protests have been over the last week they're actually going to move towards the chinese embassy there was a small protest there yesterday apparently even more protesters are expected today and that is to pressure one of the few countries that they know the myanmar military is very reliant on both in terms of support but also in terms of logistics arms weapons things like that the chinese themselves have said they have no

interest in supporting the military in particular but i think the protesters know that china is a country that can make all the difference in myanmar and if they try to pressure their will take a particular toll on the military but also we're seeing this civilian civil disobedience movement being widely followed throughout the country and that is health impacts as well people refusing to go to work in key industries transport is being brought to a hope the banks are shut for most days in the weeks now and that although it's going to have a hugely disruptive role ordinary people's lives will also bring a lot of pressure to bear on the military or attorney general ifas there in the thai capital bangkok tony thank you. now protests against the jailing of a rapper accused of insulting the spanish monarchy have taken a nasty turn at least a battle of protest as a boss alone or as anger grows over the arrest a public hostile alexander by reports. a 5th night of violence over the arrest of

a risk was the last straw. the. protests have extended to other cities in spain including the capital madrid the government is now trying to curb the political fallout and she said i must remember you can change children's brains democracy has this pain and task there is one consensus in spain were they to put freedom of speech so that our regulations are in line with other european countries. spain's government announced it would change the law and remove prison terms for offenses involving freedom of expression but no timeframe was given and the announcement appears to have done little to calm the social tension alexandra byers al-jazeera. russian opposition leader alexina valmy has suffered 2 legal defeats in one day a kremlin critic lost an appeal against his nearly 3 had jail term and was fined for defamation in a separate case really challenge as mine. alexei novelli knows this drill well he's
