the military but it's me begins our coverage. on the streets of yerevan on thursday i mean as prime minister was defiant in the face of calls from the military for him to stand down. i think i thought that it it's 10 spoke we all agree there should be no clashes nicol passion and told his supporters passion young has been under pressure to resign after his country lost blast to his war with azerbaijan over the region of nagorno-karabakh. human civilization and consequent what is happening now is the statement from the german stuff calling for my resignation i considered an attempt at a military coup you know that i took all responsibility for what happened and tried to do everything to answer all the questions myself now we have come to a stage where we cannot avoid questions towards some of our high level ranking military personnel more than 3 and a half 1000 damini and soldiers were killed in the 6 week conflict a significant number for a country with

a population of under 3000000 how should we on was forced to cede large swathes of territory around the going to karabakh that armenia had controlled for almost 30 years since the end of the last war with as a by john. that prompted weeks of protests led by the opposition. rushing out to push them from power in 2018 in what was called the velvet revolution after an attempt by the previous leader to stay in control beyond his term limits the prime minister and of government have diminished why people are ready but the alternative the discredited political opposition has much less support though in general there is little alternative who partially own or his government while this is unprecedented in terms of a military record the government much greater and more grave than anything the discredited and unpopular political opposition good mom. what's not clear is

whether the army is willing to use force to back its call for the prime minister to step down passion jaan says he'll announce a replacement for the head of the army in the coming days the crisis he says will be resolved constitutionally but it smith al-jazeera. oh well i mean canyon is an associate professor in the department of social policy at the london school of economics she says nicole passion young still has significant support but as for lupton to call for a snap elections. based on today's rally that appears that he has substantial still substantial support from a segment of the population but it's difficult to know he's been reluctant to cause napal lections not parliamentary elections some people think he fears that his support which last year last summer was around 80 percent this was before the war 80 percent approval rating what it is anyone's guess right now but he hasn't called for sample actions at the rally today he spoke you know to to the people gathered

there and said would you like snap elections and you know when people began to shout no he said right then ok we will have snap elections but he did call for having dialogue with the opposition what that dialogue will look like we don't know moreover you know whether the opposition wants to engage in dialogue with the she is also unclear because they've taken quite harsh with some of the opposition leaders calling for violence against pushing out as an individual so i think it's a quite a dangerous situation i think the opposition does not have very strong support if we look at the size of even today's rallies question has really was much larger despite the fact that many are unhappy with the way he handled the war the opposition include 17th political parties some of which are established parties such as the republican party and also the armenian revolutionary federation but there are also parties that it's

a stretch of the term to call them parties their one man show. and moreover many people in armenia are reluctant to support the opposition because they see that as a paving the way for the return of the former regime while moving on to man law where supporters of the military who marched in the largest city young on and faced off against opponents of that power grab by land spoke out in some parts of the city these tensions come with facebook has banned me and was military from the platforms scott hytner reports. early on thursday about a 1000 marchers took to the streets of yangon voicing their support for the joint to end its takeover of myanmar's democratically elected leadership they were flying the flag of the tatmadaw the official name here for the military they were met by some protesting against the coup later photos appear to show military supporters with knives and other weapons witnesses said they threaten journalist then came reports of scuffles an attack by supporters of myanmar's john to against anti coupe

row tess's was caught on c.c.t.v. the video shows a man being assaulted by an armed group. despite this antic you protesters gathered at the university of yangon said they will continue with their peaceful civil disobedience movement an issue the police attempted to block them from leaving the campus but they made their way out to join other protesters. a few days after the coup facebook limited content from me and mars military on its platforms but now it's banned them altogether. for years myanmar's military has waged a very sophisticated communications campaign weaponize and very social media platforms and using them to incite and glorify violence some feel this move by facebook needs to be part of an ongoing process as these accounts have been blocked

and removed as much as we might laud their removal we also need to ensure that they are preserved and that facebook makes them accountable for future criminal or human rights investigation while the military has used social media platforms as a tool for its agenda it also recognizes how vulnerable it will be if they're taken away scot hodler al-jazeera. well there's plenty more ahead on this news hour including china's president declares victory in eradicating poverty although its criteria for that claim of being questioned. lifesaving delivery we talk to doctors in senegal about the challenges of getting coronavirus vaccines to its most for march benefits and in sport capacity crowds could be back at cricket stadiums and pakistan and he will be here with that story for you.

and india and pakistan have agreed to halt fighting along that disputed border and kashmir there have been several exchanges of gunfire that in recent months the 2 sides also agreed to more diplomacy to avoid further violence tension has been highest since india revoked the autonomy of indian administered kashmir back in august 29th teen and both countries claim the entire region but controlled parts of it has more now from islamabad. they stayed indeed an important development given the fact that the 2 military director general military operations have not gone over the hard line for months and there's been tension along the line of control just last year by august on reported what feeds 5 are legion and richard says graney 6 people located 260 seriously wounded but the conversation between the director general military offered a general there is a critical time when there has been an exchange of fire along the line of guns

drawn border director general military operations saying the day should take steps bridge are beneficial and pledged a neighborly in order to reduce the violations along a line of control at the same time the pakistani military chief had already said that father son wants to extend a hand of friendship to its neighbors but there should not be construed as a weakness also the pakistani military spokesman bobber if their card saying that tensions were with india were running high dead words just on race day before the director general of military operation hard line communication. went to india's government has announced tougher new rules covering social media streaming services and digital news outlets to stop what it's calling and t. national propaganda platforms such as facebook what's happened to s.m.s. to now and raise content which it considers an awful the times affects india's

sovereignty and integrity critics say it's the latest in a crackdown on free speech online this comes shortly after a dispute with twitter which refused to remove some posts link to the ongoing family's protests which the government had demanded. that embodying the ordinary users of social media and other intimate reads you must have a robust grievance redressal mechanism. in shooting the complaint within 24 hours within 15 days. you must have a key for compliance officer for a significant social media you must go in order to conduct person you must carry that it shouldn't be one suffers at all there's a thing in india and you must give a monthly compliance or for all we can now speak to sanjay head day he's a senior lawyer at the supreme court of india and also a former advocate on record for the state of karnataka he joins us now from new delhi mr hay day this is really quite an escalation from the standoff that we saw

with twitter as a lawyer at the supreme court is this a legitimate national security concern or is this censorship with this is the opinion of the village as far as censorship is concerned the government of india is asserting its the right to continue which is seen within india that it's on social media or on over the next arms or even in the digital media space did did have been regulations as fighters g bill is concerned the similar acknowledged that now be starting to be involved in cyberspace as we're. or what we also saw the recent arrest of a ravi right that young activists the 22 year old she posted a protest talk at online many would argue that this is all part of a broader trend towards authoritarianism do you think there's any truth to that. well of course we've for the pastor of since 2014 there has been

a slow clamping down on dissent. believe in doors for dissent and i've been shocked one by one and on lange's is has been sort of a regular dirt are the bees in these norms also will make it much more difficult for people to remain anonymous. this requires. black songs to get a government would who uploaded the 1st read your ongoings of things that devil is in the us and as they work out what we are doing is probably building china's version of a wired internet one god in the didn't we are. enforcing a kind of silicon curtain around. in the. day it's really hard to imagine these big social media giants actually complying with their thoughts specially given the

stance they've taken on free speech elsewhere but conversely endears also clearly a huge market for them so what sort of legal recourse might they have here i'm not sure that they want to pick up a fight. the have in the past no didn't say separate stands. in the us and separate stands. no triggers especially and facebook have been more than willing to cooperate with a good government. it's only the events in the united states which they set up different standards in so fight as trump was concerned which others saw possibly set alarm bells ringing in the indian establishment that. speech of an eye of the nationalists kind of an overtly next move this kind could come within the within the norms of censorship by the platforms themselves i think the

government says that if government of india wants to say that anything dealing with censorship. of online content that governments want to see necked and the platforms to listen to what the government wants or this all comes also as we've been watching a standoff between facebook and the strain in government that has like a very different issue around payment for content is the indian government then using the conversation around heightened regulation of tech giants around the well there's as cover for its own local politics well i think it's a bit of a perfect storm coming together the indian government has been feeling threatened with free speech online there have been bees move these regulations in the street and i i bet that similar demands will be made by the indian media as well and the government will say that it looks at endorsing exactly what the assyrians are doing and we want

a similar deal for our media. there is now a sort of consensus among various governments. about tackling ali ali social media janks whether it's facebook google or twitter or anything else. these scott but nations which are the gatekeepers of free speech online are increasingly being subject to government to control. but are these good. do you want to fight. with the. debt and. be very interesting to see how that all plays out sunday had day there a senior lawyer at the supreme court of india speaking to us from new delhi great to get your thoughts here on al-jazeera thanks for being with us. thank you and i are returning to our top story that standoff between armenia's prime minister and military leaders our producer get him on the air now joins us on the line from

the most hated against ocean young. after role with after november they do the stuff to do all the big you know you know. crew of increased working all the big talk their actual. no. profit for all. sorts of different go trento for every day or a new day or treat our crew and. they. would be easy to continue the struggling created. through to. make pushing and going to leave because well we'll continue watching the whole situation very closely indeed our producer they gave him bought a neon on the streets of yarra van for us with all the latest thanks so much to go .

all out trials of johnson and johnson's one shot target 19 vaccine have shown it's highly effective against severe cases the product is also proving effective against new a variance now unlike the pfizer biotech and madonna vaccines that need to be stored at very low temperatures this one can be kept in a normal fridge it's yet to be approved for use there well senegal is saying it doesn't have the capacity to store all types of carbon 1000 back scenes a lot of cold storage facilities guaranteeing those low temperatures needed to store specific vaccines as a major stumbling block to immunization efforts in many developing countries because hawk reports now from senegal suggests recent region. i don't know it's common sense shouts street comedian sun everyone should get vaccinated your mother your cows the chickens even your ugly neighbor he says this

meant to protect our children against diseases at kobolds health center mothers with their babies have been waiting for a nurse jones arrival since dawn the vaccines are to immunize the children against tuberculosis an infectious disease that kills a staggering 1400000 people every year. it's through campaigns like this that so they go has successfully immunized most of the children in the country people want to get vaccinated that charlie want is to get those vaccines in remote health centers like this one. frequent power shortages make storing doses in health centers challenging in the capitol deckard you called storage facilities are being built for the new covert 1000 vaccines some of them will need to be kept at minus 70 degree celsius. that's for new given our inability to stop vaccines at the quantity that we have we will have to prioritize who gets it that means that not

everyone cynical can get vaccinated some rich countries ordered 3 even 4 times the covert 1000 vaccine they need senegal like many other west african countries will receive barely enough doses to protect its health workers for comedians on a go this is no laughing matter but a source of shame with a lack of cold storage facilities many in remote areas who need to be inoculated may not receive any vaccines at all nicholas hawk al-jazeera chess senegal. well as u.s. states like california and new york continue to battle the 19 a significant migration is underway wall street firms tech companies and the wealthy are leaving and opting for places such as florida where the weather is warmer and the taxes are lower and as andy got of reports florida is embracing that . tearing down the old to make way for the new miami's construction boom was already well underway before code 19 hit now it's ramping up

as businesses keen to escape high taxes cramped cities and expensive real estate look for new opportunities this whole area went away it is going to be a new episode of construction for miami across miami spaces of being snapped up faster than they can be built it's all part of a potentially seismic shift as money moves away from states like new york and california that have been decimated by coke at 19 i would say utter wild west it's completely 180 from what it was about a year ago when. all of a sudden you have every tech firm every major hospitality firm every restaurant group all coming and not just miami of south florida we're seeing a huge increase in numbers and for order del del ray boca raton palm beach no inventory it's a mass migration city officials a keen to embrace the is that been trying to convince businesses that florida has

more than just beaches and sunshine one of the most vocal proponents of making the move is miami's mayor francis suarez who's promoting the city in more expensive states like california i think if we're able to continue to capitalize on this moment and truly converted into a movement where things tectonically shift i think miami could catapult very quickly to being one of the most important cities on the planet the exodus includes tech companies from silicon valley as california continues to fight covert and wall street firms ready to embrace remote working in take advantage of florida's lower taxes it's not just miami skyline where you can see the changes here on the waterways of miami beach there's so much more traffic the people that can own or rent boats that local residents are complaining but with so much. wealth and power moving to the city what about miami's low income communities affordable housing has been a long term issue here the prices of shop lee rising across the city much of the

state is driven by low wage service industry jobs already hit hard by the pandemic something out of a kits for cheaper housing say needs to be taken into account we have over and over and over need in the state of not factoring in who lives here now how can we improve the lives of people who live here now instead of driving and asked and so this is you know we've made that mistake many times enough to learn that us threats and has to be part of the deal and so as we look to redevelop for example publicly on lands rates you you know create more units of housing right it's got to be built in and we need housing that is resident more affordable level the rapid growth in investment here seems set to continue for some time the state's less stringent approach to tackling the pandemic and keeping businesses open is also attracting new residents in stark contrast cities like new york and los angeles experienced

long shut downs something that many business owners push back against miami's mess as all those factors make this city attractive and will benefit new arrivals and those already here and what some content to provision others call economic opportunity and the ability for upward mobility so it's really hard when you talk about income inequality and you talk about poverty to create opportunities if you don't create high paying jobs and obviously there's a 2nd piece to it which is making sure that there's an educational system in place that allows people to be successful and that's something that we're going to continue to work on to make sure that we're on the cutting edge of that as well the pandemic has changed the lives of millions the way we work and where we live what miami becomes in the years ahead is anyone's guess who benefits and who's left behind may be more consequential and gallacher al-jazeera miami florida. well still ahead here on al-jazeera searching for their loved ones we'll have more on

the human cost of a gold mine collapse and. how a migration crisis the pandemic and flooding has put brazil's northwestern state and create into a state of emergency. and these well john can football let's get their hands on yet another trophy all the details coming up and. once again we've got a little bit of unsettled weather into parts of the middle east but for the most part it is looking fine and dry with some pleasant sunshine got a brisk wind blowing through the gulf it lifted just the sand possibility of a lot shower actually just around the side of saudi arabia maybe a spot so it's a bit of light rain once again into kata seen a few spots of rain some wintry weather there through iran over the high ground

the coronavirus has affected every corner of the world. people in power look back to the early days of the pandemic and examines where the air is and delays at the world health organization may have made the global spread of the virus inevitable to steal. i can say it's no. human teeth into this mission chronicle of a pandemic people in power on al-jazeera. the u.s. is always of interest to people all around the world this is been going on for a number of them with tear gas being used to fight but. you know reports stories through an international perspective to try to explain your new board and why it's important how did it impact your life at the height of the storm the water was to high it would be to buy hey this is an important part of the world people pick a book on here now does it is very good to bring the news to the world from here.

you know again i'm starting a tender reminder about top stories here the foul armenia's prime minister has accused military leaders of trying to carry out a coup they call passion and has fired the military chief after the army corps for his resignation passion and self has been out on the streets addressing thousands of his supporters in yerevan. supporters and opponents of the military coup in myanmar have held rival protests in the main city young gun violence broke out in some areas 3 week. after that power grab facebook now says it's banned me on miles military from using its pop forms. and india's government has announced tough new

rules for social media companies to stop what it's calling and 100 national propaganda they missed out raise content which it considers unlawful critics say it's the latest in a crackdown on free speech online. well more now on our top story that standoff between armenia's prime minister and military leaders a media has experienced political turbulence and recently is the call passion and was elected prime minister by parliament back in may 28 teen after leading weeks of mass protests against the then ruling party in december that year he called a snap election to remove the republican party majority in parliament his step sorry my step of lions won by a landslide the republicans won no seats and promise to maintain armenia strategic alliance with russia but then he faced calls for his resignation in december 2020 agreeing to a moscow broken ceasefire with azerbaijan following military losses and we can now

speak to robin forester walker he joins me from tbilisi he's reported extensively from armenian also covered those mass protests in 2018 that brought nicole passion down to power robin i recall you also interviewed passion and shortly after he took office a lot has changed for him since then and he does appear to have evolved as a leader as well what kind of a man is he and what's going through his head right now. people who know nico passion and well have told me that he is a very tough individual very strong very headstrong and perhaps not always easy as person to work with and you get a sense of that kind of a character with his defiance that we see at the moment and that we have seen since the end of the war over new color karabakh with azerbaijan the peace deal that he saw and had very unfavorable terms for armenia and it came as

a shock to the armenian nation but to give you an idea of the sort of character that nick oppression yannis he he never accepted any responsibility for that and has been very defiant in clinging on and insisting that no such move such as a election or an early election was required and he's been saying the same thing today utterly defiant and also he's a man who likes having the popular people's kind of movement behind him he loves being out on the streets he loves his megaphone it's his sort of signature look what walking down the streets that's how he came to power all those years ago back in 2018 and the same happening today people power behind him to stand up to the generals to stand up to the church and even the president of armenia now who wants him to step aside and allow for fresh

snap elections but if there's if there's anything that we know about nick oppression and he is a very stubborn politician and i think he he's shown that today again resisting the the calls on him to to resign and to to hold fresh elections rather than if i recall after. the nagorno-karabakh conflict ended with that cease fire the military did kind of admit that it was almost the right call that they couldn't of one that war so where do you see this now going from here can passion win back support from the parts of the military who've now denounced. well it's that that sort of that that. mentality of that way of basically taking charge and not necessarily listening to the military that may have brought him to this situation because this whole thing erupted over him firing the deputy head of the

armed forces of the general staff over. an issue related to the to the weaponry that was used during that war a lot of it was russian weaponry and he had been criticized by the senior officials for the way he had been talking about the way the that armenia had handled the war and so he lost his trust now he lost the trust of those generals. but again going forward mr. is going to clearly hope that his president will sign that. dismissal statements that will require the head of the armed forces to now stand down otherwise he has a constitutional. conflicts going on where he's up against all the elites but still he's shown that with those large numbers of supporters

that he brought out onto the square today that he may although he's lost popularity because of the war he may still be the most popular politician in armenia at the present because the polls suggest and i've seen some of these polls that suggest that he has lost his popularity but the armenian public may not be ready for the kind of politicians that missed the passion you had on seated back in 2080 that were discredited for mismanaging the country and for the corruption that armenia had become famous for back then and since then has sought to carry out reforms that have improved armenia standing economically rather than feisty walker they're reflecting on how passionately and fast from tbilisi thanks so much rather. and i'm moving on and guinea is government is hoping its latest of a vaccination campaign can stop the virus spreading by april the drive started on

tuesday in zurich or a way the feste cases were detected almost 2 weeks ago now 11000 doses and 200 health experts landed in the capital conakry on monday at least 5 people have died in this latest outbreak while france to block is an epidemiologist at doctors without borders and she says about teens are really only part of the needed response to. the vaccine is an extremely useful new tool to and. break but it is not the only real or often the response under essential aspects of an ebola response need to happen as well and it always comes back to community engagement if you have the community on board the human you kills heard and respected the response will go well if the community is distrustful the response will have some challenges with or without vaccination and therefore doctors without borders would be very happy to support or help in any way

for. nation but we know from experience that you need to have a 2 way conversation with the community. or for its to be at effective this. serious start from scratch. but it is a bit too early to say we are in the 2nd week of the able i'll break we don't know if we're looking at a small break but can be easily controlled earth something bigger and more complicated but we need to be ready for both. the surveillance has started and so it has for us the bits for it or we don't know for sure. now china's president has declared a complete victory and his government's campaign to stamp out poverty she is in being lead a ceremony in beijing marking the country's accomplishments but many of questioning the authenticity of government figures and whether the initiative is that standard

harms schools factories and roads it's a textbook. on how to get people out of poverty and i think getting people out of poverty is perhaps the more single important thing that any state can do to advance its social economic progress the united nations has been trying to reduce extreme poverty around the world and china says it's achievement covers more than 70 percent of the un's goal but it's a benchmark for poverty a daily income of $2.30 it's below the world bank standard the high income countries critics of the initiative say it's unsustainable with many villages relying on government support to prop up newly founded industries and sump. people have been unable to adapt to their side jobs while others have complained of forced relocations this is a much needed winds of the chinese government and it comes at a crucial time they jane is pushing to revive the economy following the pandemic and to lie is marking 100 years since the founding of the communist party xi
