7:02 am
3 weeks ago the army has issued threats international broadcast on sunday night saying lives will be lost in confrontations let's get more of this stuff and turn to change our correspondent in bangkok and they bring tyler did other big day really of demonstrations expected the big question will be the numbers. so they will those threats by the military issued last night on state t.v. don't seem to be put. people off there going out. in dar way down in the south in yangon the former camp little we've seen coming out and kitchen state in the far north many other parts of myanmar so people are coming out that general strike that they called for also seems to be being a fairly universally around the country and said everything from food delivery services to public transport public health services the civil service all of these things seem to be coming to a grinding halt and i think the hope is from the protesters they can bring
7:03 am
effectively bring the country to a standstill and put so much pressure on the military that they reverse this coup they're calling for a general strike in much the same way as there was in 1088 when they were also calling for a return to democracy fortunately then followed a very bloody crackdown from what we've seen over the weekend the way the military . the protests in mandalay i think there is considerable concern they could respond in the same way again but this is a very different myanmar it's a myanmar where people have seen the fruits of democracy over the last 5 years and they seem to be very determined that they're not going to back down if you talk about. tony i mean there's a real worry perhaps about how far these demonstrations can go did the volume of numbers knowing that as you mentioned the military's patience is running out.
7:04 am
there is and i think there were some very ominous signs in that statement we saw from the military hunter last night none the less they are going to be in a very difficult position if the protests to do continue to keep up this momentum we've seen the protests during the large numbers out on the streets they haven't been put out the voices that we've heard from the protesters saying that they realize that they are in great danger in yangon we understand that the security services have been drafting greater numbers into the city convoys of police going in there have been reports of armored vehicles which have been painted white from the military originally sort of repurposed as police vehicles so they certainly have the capability to crack down that said again this isn't a situation like 988 this is a very different world this is a different country there is a huge amount of international pressure as well i think we've seen. calls from not
7:05 am
just the united states the united nations but i think there are questions also even china which i think many people see as an ally of the myanmar military would not want to see a return to the dark days of the eighty's in the ninety's were burma as it was then known was a pariah state china very much wants me to be part of its growing silk road that is expanding its economic clout in this region and around the world as a part of that and i think the military will also face a very tough choices if they are going to put these protests down because it will have to be very sustained and it will return. to dark days indeed that said the longer these protests go on and the harder it's seems to see to see a peaceful solution and a reversal of the. causal coded to follow the day's events to the joint force in
