morning they say the police and the army around the city trying to round up any protesters they can still hear explosions going off which suggests that they are still firing rounds against protesters that have been out on the streets to do it all stirred and started much earlier this morning at about 8 am local time when protesters came out on all across the country again in the southern city of daraa a large group of protesters were met by soldiers and police who fired on them live rounds included in their current down we understand from a local medic there that 3 are confirmed dead in yangon the same thing in that lay down district live fire was used on the streets we have confirmed wonder but there are reports of several others and in mandalay in the last couple of hours people have described the city as a battleground one man appears to have been killed in that that is not yet

end before i went to bed last night you know treat it then fade a short notice that the burmese military is going to show its you know fascist character because this is the institution that was founded by the fascist japanese did during the 2nd war as a local proxy against the british rule in burma and now the you know we have among our people in the country and on social media platforms we begin to use that turn him to be tied fascist dumbledore dumbledore is that that the military uses to name itself and so you know i'm horrified i lived through the 1st military dictatorship i saw soldiers shooting you know in previous waves you know this is been going on for almost 60 years that this 3 generations of dissidents and protesters made it clear that we do not want to live under any thumb of military rule and that the burmese are determined despite you know risks do their

lives and livelihoods you say that the turbaned will this violence qual the protesters will they be more reluctant to come out onto the streets now. i don't think so you know that the burmese have been doing this as i said over 3 generations and you know that many of our relatives or friends and families are served you know 20 years behind bars in exile lives destroyed their livelihood destroyed the people this time are you know using this slogan the more you repress us the the fiercer our resistance will become and so that this will this is going on for 28 days that you know that since the 1st of of ferry and that the military gets progressively more brutal and the people i am sure in great determination even young chill i mean young men and woman this say that you know we know we will be

shot but we will not leave the country for the next generation to be rude brutalized and economically raped by this institution called the middle we do not have a national army that is sworn to protect the people that you know they're turning the guns that gains them on armed protests or as if like protesters are you know target practice that's what's happening what more should the international community be doing to pressure the junk in myanmar despite almost universal condemnation of the coup doesn't seem to have deterred them at all. well you know like it 2 days ago the u.n. the burmese representative at the united nations you know defied the order from the generals and then call for you know deal to my singing and you know basically de krentz credentialing. memoir from the united nations not expelling

expect expulsion require security council you know endorsement in china and russia will veto that and so what needs to happen is to not a septum them a coup leaders and whoever they pick as representatives as either as ambassadors to different countries or to the united nations that is going to be a huge blow if the international system of governments unanimously you know barring russia trying a few rogue regimes in the world i think that will strengthen the burmese people's resolve that is you know short of military intervention i think denying recognition that this is a legitimate government is a very very powerful message that needs to happen and of course that you know the the different governments the including you know different regional bloc such as

european union should don great diplomatic relations and that they just arrest at the troops the rest at a u.s. diplomat in the end go on today and they're put you know that the regime has put snipers on the roof you know of all of the different buildings the different cities there are a lot more shooting and killings with live musicians across the country not just a handful that have been verified really good to talk to so many facts day manzoni that a lot of thank you. around 50 home kong pro-democracy activists and former politicians have been charged under the contentious national security lawyer imposed by beijing or were detained after being told to report to police stations across the city they're accused of participating in unofficial election primaries the territories let's just fold the territories let's the last year it's the largest single round

of charges on the the new law let's go live now to hong kong i was there was a very and brown can tell us more adrian that been so many arrests and so many charges over the past few months what's the significance of sunday's developments in hong kong. well adrian a few months ago the authorities here in hong kong were focusing very much on the leaders of the pro-democracy movement people like jimmy ly joshua young they were rounded up they were arrested and of course shot wrong is now in jail he's also one of those who has been arrested again today and charged now with the authorities are doing is they're focusing on the foot soldiers the young activists who rallied so often so frequently on the streets of hong kong in 2019 and in the weeks and months following that they have been charged with inciting subversion they were told to appear at police stations across hong kong on sunday it's not quite sure why the

police to side to ask them to appear at police stations today because initially they were told they would need to report to police until april so we don't know why everything has suddenly been fast tracked in this way we met one of those activist lester show who's 27 year olds and has been involved in political activism now for 7 years he was quite defiant he said the people of hong kong should not give up hope of sidon which is life of 2 weeks and of course if leicestershire is convicted he responding the rest of his life in jail it's not just his career his political career that's now over it's also possibly going to be his freedom as well to remind viewers these activists were arrested back in early january they were charged in connection with being involved in a sort of primary an unofficial poll that was held in july to pre-select candidates for elections which would to to happen in september those elections were canceled

by the government citing coded 19 so these activists have been charged with taking part in an unofficial event linked to an election that never happened now in the eyes of hong kong's government. say that the strategy of these activists was clear they want to the pro-democracy camp to gain an overall majority in parliament so they could block legislation and eventually force the resignation of the chief executive kerry lam now in democracies in other parts of the world these tactics are the norm but in today's hong kong that sort of strategizing is enough to get you arrested and charged and that's what's now happened i was there as adrian brown reporting live there from hong kong adrian many thanks. it was the news hour for marcella still to come on the program. violence spirals in given's marriage private province where government forces are

trying to save the last central stronghold from could the rebels. the u.s. cross emergency approval to johnson and johnson single dose shot giving americans a 3rd coronavirus vaccine. the italian champions could have done with some more of this kind of brilliance from the start man football action coming up later and the program. saudi arabia says that it's intercepted several air assaults by hooty rebels in yemen who targeted riyadh and cities in the kingdom south of who it is are stepping up an offensive in the every province of marib or is there a shot at palace reports. saudi arabia intercepts rockets over riyadh on saturday night we're going to have to go after the omaha saudi state media say they came from yemen fired by hoofy rebels several explosive laden drones

targeted other southern saudi cities. the attack came as hootie rebels pushed forward in the northern yemeni province of merit. they launched an offensive against the saudi backed yemeni government here in early february excess a day was the most violent day yet many fear my reap front is one of the hottest war fronts since the beginning of the aggression on yemen this is been the situation since the beginning and except for a small period. after more than 60 years of war the who these more merit because it's the yemeni government's nost northern best un to capture it could bolster the who thinks at the negotiating table this is a very critical battle making plays. it looks like i both sides would like to be in the stronger bargaining position and. these thoughts the problem of course

is that these short term gains they are thinking of could actually derailing you the straw says launched by new u.s. administration the yemeni government has issued urgent coups for the who these to stop their offensive they wound of a humanitarian catastrophe merab is already home to the largest concentration of displaced yemenis and he's to make his 2000000 people. still the government is fighting back and says a day they reported killing 350 who the fight is unjust. and cobra benefits a suicide mission and they're not going to come back when the yemeni government urges them into the fighting it's not a sign of weakness we make these calls out of responsibility but regarding the fighting forces were few in numbers and they were defeated for 2 thirds of the population some 20000000 people food is what they need the u.n. estimates 400000 children under 5

a severely malnourished and that they are in the last weeks and months both sides say the opposite putting civilians at risk and yet neither stop shelling shallop ballasts. sultan barakat is the director of the center for conflict and humanitarian studies he joins us now live via skype from but oh how good to have you with us again so yemen's parliament called on the government of the presidency to provide weapons and equipment to the national army and nara boats what's the significance of what's happening. well but to that so it's significant and as your report mentioned this is the last stronghold of the organizers of the national good nice government in the north so if it does fall it will open the way for how these 2 push further into the south and most important thing it will be a unitarian disaster which we can talk about later in

a minute but in terms of the parliament call itself i don't think it makes a huge difference to him in parliament calls for this it has been weakened over the last few years greatly so far and our county who is the head of the parliament has been calling for support for the armed forces for a long time and marib as it is already holds the most loyal forces for president had the and as such for the record nice government so there is no other issues there. payments for civil servants and military forces that have not been. issued for a few months now and i think maybe there's an opportunity here to call for for that to happen in order to raise that more of the soldiers who are defending my right so what about. what about the humanitarian situation that as we were hearing that the something like a 1000000 people that who already dire need of food. in

the governorate there are more than a 1000000 displaced persons from all over yemen particularly from some region and as you know over the years mary has managed because of the balance of power there within that city has managed to keep itself it's out of the country and has provided safe haven for many displaced but also importantly for many international community that he says most of the headquarters in the north are operating from within their marriage and both would be threats in the heart of the work to push any further into the city and of course the question really is why are they doing it now and what can be done to stop this crisis and i think to answer the 1st question is it's it's largely because they fear that they may become the low hanging fruit in any of the united states and iran and therefore they have to prove themselves on the ground and strengthen their position and of course it is very

similar to the situation that we witnessed 2 years ago in her data. and it does require a major international intervention diplomatic intervention and i suspect the hard things will be willing to listen the same way they were willing to years ago in her data driver of the human crisis ok. as always by the facts dates all time back out that. the u.s. has approved johnson and johnson's covert 19 vaccine it's the country's 3rd at its 1st single dose jab the pharmaceutical giant says the vaccine is effective at preventing severe kovac by untamed symptoms including new a variance 4000000 doses are ready to be shipped to serious gave us although in washington explains why the new vaccine is effective. the big difference with the johnson and johnson vaccine is it is only one shot to get and then be vaccinated

that's different from the moderna and pfizer vaccines which both take 2 different shots spaced out about 20 to 30 days apart also the johnson and johnson vaccine does not need to be stored or transported at freezing temperatures so that will make it easier to move around and get out to places and into the arms of people that need it is you know the pfizer and moderna vaccines both need to be kept in complicated freezing storage temperatures bottom line though is is that health officials here in the u.s. say all the vaccines do the job the f.d.a. has just announced merchants to use authorization of a 3rd of x.e. for americans this one made by ensign also called johnson and johnson it's always a but this is really good news that means we have the opportunity for even more people to get immunized as soon as possible against their pandemic early on

saturday the house of representatives passed joe biden's 1.9 trillion dollar covert relief package it now goes on to the senate where it will be perhaps met with some resistance from many many republicans however the bill as a whole is viewed very positively by most americans and by almost all democrats it would call for many things but primarily a one time payment of more than a $1000.00 to all americans it would extend unemployment benefits as well as put money into schools and local governments to meet shortfalls as well it will now go to the senate and on saturday this is what joe biden had to say to senators as a approach a vote on this bill. now now the mill moves the united states senate where i hope will receive quick action. we have no time to waste if we act now decisively

quickly and boldly we can finally get ahead of this virus we can finally get our economy moving again and the people of this country have suffered far too much for too long we need to relieve that suffering the american rescue plan does just that relieve the suffering and it's time to act i thank you all for being 14th that is the date that millions of americans could potentially lose some of their unemployment benefits unless this plan is passed so democrats feel they have about 2 weeks to try to work out an agreement with the republicans in the senate to get this on joe biden's desk for possible signature the world's 1st study into mixing and matching different coded 19 vaccines is underway in the u.k. the trial will examine the best dosing shuttle for the phase a astra zeneca jeffs. the animal reports now from a hospital which is one of 8 taking part of the trial. it's

a race to beat infections with injections and volunteers in the u.k. and now helping scientists to determine how to get optimism immunity from approved vaccine $820.00 people aged over 50 are taking part in the study testing the efficacy of alternating between the pfizer job and astra zeneca as compared to giving 2 doses of the same vaccine just say no. pain i remind myself of the final scene for the trucks will be oxford happy to head to head thank you. for volunteers like katrina is a chance to contribute to the fight against covert research is needed i'm generally a healthy person so i don't think it's going to cause me too much problem and it's nice to give something back and be able to connect help right away can you know i'm not working that moment so i'm very well you know i think you might have to do something to help this trial this testing to dosing schedules one with

a 4 week interval between 2 injections another with a 12 week gap these volunteers won't be routinely tested for kovac instead they'll be giving regular blood samples to measure the levels of antibodies and the mean cells t. cells that the blue vaccines produce against the bio participants watch a consent video that also spells out the value of the trial it is being able to find a vaccine to this week returning flecks as it should prove to people to be immunized . did told when they get the next vaccine but not which brand i'll get my 2nd job in 84 days where some people are just going to get this after 28 days. scientists hope that combining 2 vaccines will strengthen immune responses by harnessing the best features of each we've got very good reason to think that by using one and then the other that well 8 immune systems respond even better both

in. it's ability to remember corona virus in the future but also in the reduction of the immune response to those and they plan to add new vaccines like no vaccine young person to the trial once approved. the ability to mix and match parents could make back to nation programs more flexible speed up the process and reduce the impact of any disruptions in the supply chain with the u.k. vaccination program well underway the results of this 13 month trial won't have any impact here but with initial findings expected in the summer it could benefit poor countries in the global fight against coated. al-jazeera southampton. the philippines has received its 1st vaccine shipment president were to go to turkey have a ceremony is welcomed the arrival of 600 thousands 1000 doses of side of back from china the philippines has ordered 25000000 more. ecuador's health minister has

protests against handling of the pandemic are increasingly common use one on saturday and one osiris is there but if they give it to the president and the vice president then ok but they shouldn't vaccinate the deputies or the ministers that's no good i'm almost saying one message on from i've got any side information from independent media that the pandemic doesn't exist it's just tests there to fill the hole. or they're angry with the government some still believe the pandemics is a hoax but others are against the vaccine and whatever else people feel their impatience to put the pandemic behind a frustrated by the slow pace of the vaccination programs confused by contradictory information and i angered by corruption in their governments the road towards normality is still fraught with obstacles. on their al-jazeera want to cyrus the weather next here on the news than. in the french
