at a time when the rest of russia isn't back plus the rise of means stops with there's plenty of money to be made and almost none of it is about the core business. counting the costs on al-jazeera. defiant and determined protesters in me and back on the streets a day after a military crackdown that kills 2 people. going from doha everyone on canal santamaria this is the world news from al-jazeera they head of the un's nuclear watchdog is in teheran ahead of iran's plan to partly suspend inspection of its nuclear sites. all set to elect

a new president the polls have opened in may lead to the 1st peaceful transition of power in 60 years all that plus. a miraculous escape for passengers and people on the ground after a passenger jet engine explodes over the u.s. city of denver. well over one a day after the worst violence yet since me and miles military coup earlier this month and protesters have returned to the streets in their thousands soldiers fired tear gas and live rounds killing 2 people and injuring dozens more on saturday. these are the scenes from young dawn where people remain defiant in their opposition to military rule calling for a return to democracy and for the deposed leader aung sun suu kyi to be released

she is of course been detained for nearly 3 weeks now people are also out in the 2nd largest city mandalay with the protesters were killed on saturday dozens of people have been injured there in the past week and a funeral is being held in the capital. for the 1st protester who was killed in the violence that was 20 year old put. to it kang who died on friday after she was shot in the head earlier in the week she has become a symbol of the opposition to military rule. tony chang is in bangkok for us this sunday monitoring events hi tony let's put this up into the protests and then the military to protest 1st of all the fact that they keep coming out and i've said this to you i've said this to scott had lots of this to so many of our correspondents it is extraordinary the resilience they seem to have. it is absolutely they are 1st thing to the in mandalay where we saw those scenes

yes of what appeared to be a sustained crackdown that wasn't just a brief lapse of military discipline looking more of the footage we've seen coming out of the night you can see this was something where the military clearly had a plan you can see the police at the front but they appear to be directed by the military we understand that the 33rd light infantry division and have been operating behind the scenes they are a division which is particularly well known for their brutality they were operating against they were hanger in 2017 have been deployed against other ethnic insurgence and they are notorious there are we've seen lots of footage of households of bullet holes in them 1st hand accounts of people being beaten up by the soldiers and the police. despite there in mandalay they were 1st thing today we've also seen people back in the streets in kitchens state in the north in delhi in the south in the old

capital yangon and in the door there was a huge funeral quote for the young student who died more than a week ago the 1st person to die in these protests and the voices that are coming out to a saying that if the military think they can do this to deter us it's not going to work so clearly people are there they're coming out in numbers and they are very determined to get their message through to the military generals that conducted this coup they will not put up with it. we have almost almost perversely tourney been waiting for something more to happen from the military side because it was just so expected tell us about the levels of force they use i mentioned briefly in the intro live rounds and tear gas. you know we've seen all sorts of stuff being deployed by the military and the police they've been using slingshots the lots of pictures of of hard steel balls of the been deployed

in the sling shots other improvised weapons is nails that have been fused together and shot of the protesters or the sea water cannons we've seen the tear gas in the live rounds so i think they're all manner of things being deployed by all sorts of people and i think the fact that we are seeing divisions like the 30 light infantry that cloyd suggest this could be scaled up now and serve just using thugs for intimidation there is the suggestion that the military now could be planning something altogether more serious with altogether more military precision that said . they have stayed away from the central protest in yangon we were speaking to protesters yesterday and today as well who said that they feel relatively secure that the military presence hasn't increased that much while they are still very much a presence in the city and apparently they've been referred to the police and being reinforced with 20 trucks coming to the city early this morning they don't feel the

crackdown is imminent and one wonders how much the military have thought this through this is a military who are very used to getting what they want the generals in charge i think used to their commands being being a paid but has changed a lot in the last 5 years people have seen the opportunities that what limited democracy they've had can bring and i think at this stage they're very reluctant to give a back and snap back to me and now that we knew in the ninety's in the early 2000 which is very much under the jackboot a military control that is tiny change in bangkok keeping an eye on events in me and i will talk to again later tony meanwhile the u.n. secretary general has condemned the use of lethal force by the military in may. and mob adding to growing international pressure on the military the u.s. state department says washington is quote deeply concerned and that it stands by the people or the u.k. is considering taking further action against those who it says are crushing

democracy also the e.u. has called on the military to end its action against civilians its foreign affairs council is expected to discuss that when it meets on monday tom andrews now un special rapporteur on human rights in me and man who told us it is likely the crackdown will actually get worse this military is capable of just about anything and then massacre protesters in the past in street street they've killed monks in saffron roach protesting and of course we've seen what they're capable of doing with the ethnic minorities including the ethnic minority so this is a very dangerous situation and the nightmare is made even. more frightening by the fact that they are now deploying these army troops these these deployments sort of in this case the 33rd light infantry division this was the very division that is accused of and was actually involved we know in massacres against the regime or

ethnic minority tremendous atrocities so now these hardened soldiers are being deployed from the coastal areas and from the the areas like rakhine state in the north into these ribbon areas that you confront these these protesters who are peaceful protesters there's no question about that. now the head of the u.n. nuclear watchdog is in teheran on deadline day the one iran set for u.s. sanctions to be lifted welfare grossi is expected to discuss his agency's ability to continue inspections as set out on the 2050 nuclear deal iranian legislation comes into effect on tuesday which will suspend some inspections if american sanctions are not removed iran says it still studying e.u. proposals to hold an informal meeting between the u.s. and other participants in the nuclear deal u.s. president joe biden says he's willing to rejoin talks to save the agreement his previous answer of course donald trump withdrew from it in 2018 and re imposed

sanctions and iran has been winding back its compliance ever since history to pass even the quincy institute a u.s. think tank who says iran and the u.s. are ready to talk taking a cautious approach. 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 drama we do have is the complication with maginnis this says that a significant degree of the inspections are going to be halted from tuesday and on which i suspect they will what happened there is that the iranians will not go whole would 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 they knew us 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 that biting restriction is still continuing to pursue trumps policy that will both undermine their negotiating position and it will significantly put that 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 missiles from saudi arabia and from republicans in washington d.c. . several rockets have hit an iraqi military base injuring at least one local contractor groups claimed responsibility for that attack on the air base north of baghdad hours earlier the security forces raided an isolated hideout in areas
