people were wounded as authorities used tear gas stun grenades and live ammunition in cities across the country and in the past day alone 92 people 85 of them medical professionals and 7 journalists were detained adding to the month long total of more than a 1000 of arrests tony chang now reports on a day of urban battles across me and why. medics struggle. to treat a wounded protester shot in the chest and arm on the streets of dar way in southern myanmar and the security services crackdown early on sunday police supported by the military firing tear gas rubber bullets and live rounds. but despite the dangers protesters still turned out in large numbers to oppose the military coup. thank you on live rounds used in yangon a man wounded in the streets of playdown district as protesters tried to give him

1st aid and get them to cover. as the tear gas rained down they ran for shelter elsewhere hid behind improvise shields but if the intention was to get the crowds to disperse it failed regrouping out of range of the guns the protesters remain defiant the crackdown has been widely anticipated and the crowds are fully aware of the dangers they face down or. we the public are only protesting peacefully and now the military has come to crackdown they're just here to give us trouble we want peace we have nothing but still they come to crack down on us. we want to protect our people because the police aren't doing that they're attacking us instead as you know the jointer is doing illegal actions so the citizens need to protect themselves. the campaign of civil disobedience has been widely observed against the military coup on febrile the 1st

in many areas people block the roads with obstacles and cars the progress of the police hindered as they tried to clear a path in some places the protesters tried to take a stand throwing projectiles a molotov cocktails at the police. but it seems a futile effort as they attempt to stop a military government prepared to use lethal force against its own people tony chang al jazeera. well earlier i spoke to a protester in young goal new has been demonstrating almost every day this month i began by asking her how the day of protests unfolded as early as 8 am this morning we were getting news that they were cracking down on any protest areas even prior to everyone starting to protest and as the morning went on we heard about the gunshots. the use of tear gas and the beatings of several civilians and

protesters in the streets. i've been looking at your instagram account and you've been very active in the past few hours both posting pictures of the violence around me and law and also trying to coordinate the various protests or at the very least alerting people to where the police and or military walls how important has social media being and i guess spreading the word and also keeping everyone safe for our fight is not only on the ground in the streets the civil disobedience movement much of the work and much of the fight is also digital this is our digital revolution and our battleground is also on social media where we have to ensure that this information doesn't proliferate and that we can share information as quickly as possible in order to ensure not only the safety of protesters but also the safety of civilians. as we continue to engage with the military and the police

through social media has played quite a political role for us. both on the local level but also for us on the international level. at this current moment the military is still trying to manipulate the narrative of what is happening on the ground here trying to minimize our experience and the levels in which they have terrorized us so for us social media is also a method to share the truth to share what is truly happening to us and what our experience has been. amongst this hellish for these past 28 days if you say the military's trying to change the narrative or what are you seeing on the streets of young going and what are you hearing is going all across the country. currently there is a muzzle on the media right now and then my most international news channels are

blocked. and so for us we have most of the information that is from the military's perspective it's from handling such as melody and my t.v. and the way that they present the narrative even with what happened today late this evening we received the news your corage from their perspective they were sending police to take care of the mobs that were in the street so they were fired as thugs as mobs of people who are just wrapping the pieces of the state which is the complete opposite of what the truth is so they made the military may describe you as thugs involved how would you describe the protesters why are you protesting on the street so for us protestors for me personally i am in the streets i'm trying to help organize because i want to be able to help build a country

a true federal democracy where we can see that everyone who has historically been marginalized in their mind will receive the tools. and knowledge to know the opposite. that is a lot of the reason and motivation for all of us being in the streets we are not fighting just for politics anymore earlier fighting for our lives our lives under the military these past 28 days have been some of the worst days of my entire life and i cannot see any of us wanting to stand to live this way anymore so that is a lot of the reason why we are in the streets fighting in my view you are not bob we are not. we are civilians who care deeply about the future of this country and not of what we are fighting for. we've seen the deadliest day of violence after nearly a month of protests in must be

a very frightening time for you and protesters like you yes the temple has steadily increased but today was the deadliest there particularly and then gone other cities such as me to now and mentally have also experienced violence in these past 2 weeks even hire a teenager get shot in the head and die on the spot and all of that was recorded on video for all of us to watch and now we are saying the same thing here in the city that i grew up in. so it is quite a shock for all of us and it has been a blow but i know that we will take our moment to mourn to think about the people who cannot come back home the way that we are able to and we will have to continue to move for tomorrow and the days after me and laura is no stranger to military rule it was under military rule for decades how does that affect the protests right

now because what really struck me looking at some of the images that you posted on your instagram feed was the ages the age disparity from very young to very old protesters how does that impact on the protest movement i think we draw a lot of strength from the fact that it is not just one generation that is in the streets right now we have people as old as 80. as young as 10 who are in the streets fighting for our democracy. i believe it was a true cost generational leadership that we are able to draw from because so many generations are within the streets and as you touch on yes we are not used to military violence to terry to pay to ship but it is because of that we can draw on the lessons from generations that came before us and not the same time we can draw

on the innovation and creativity of the youth of the younger generations who did not grow up muscles the same way that previous generations said we can draw on their passion because they know what it's like to live in an open your mind even if it was only for 10 years so i believe because of that we can draw a lot of strength. it's me speaking to a protester in young go on a little earlier who asked not to reveal her identity for security reasons. in neighboring thailand the anti government protesters have clashed with police outside the prime minister's house in bangkok riot police used water cannon tear gas and fired rubber bullets at protesters activists say elections in 2019 were rigged to favor the ruling party and they're calling for prime minister. to resign

school when the gunman broke into the school there were more than 550 students 317 of them were herded together and drove into the night by these gunmen 3 days after there is no story about their safety or when they're coming home as a result the government of them for a state has shut down all public schools and this is having an effect on public education in the nigeria minutes caused are being shut especially in neighboring states for fear of the repeat of this institution and this incidence the kidnapping for ransom the attacks on institutions of learning is coming at in the region why our school enrollment is low the literacy level is lower than the rest of the country and of course government is struggling to raise up the level of involvement and retention as well as graduation in schools there are concerns now that this development world's top or interrupt education in nigeria especially in the north

to revive the 2015 nuclear deal between iran and major powers their fate a bump in the road iran has ruled out an informal meeting to discuss possible ways forward a move the u.s. has called disappointing is under joins me now from washington d.c. so gabriel an informal meeting has been ruled out but is there still room for negotiations to continue in one way or another. yeah most likely there is that mean this is probably a little bit of posturing a little bit of posturing on both sides quite frankly washington and tehran the big picture here is that both tehran and washington have said that they want to return in some way shape or form to the 2015 deal it's just a matter of how they get there and how they begin any sort of talks what tehran basically rejected now is preliminary talks there were going to be brokered by the

european union talks that were going to be the 1st face to face talks between the new it by administration and their counterparts in tehran these are just preliminary talks tehran basically saying no not quite yet not quite want to return to those talks quite yet in this format and washington said that they would so this is a temporary setback but it's seen in the medium to long term as not necessarily a major potential setback now the u.s. did respond the white house giving a statement how dizzy or what was white house spokesperson saying that they are disappointed in iran's response we do remain ready to engage in meaningful diplomacy to achieve a mutual return to compliance with the j c.p.o. way commitments we all will be consulting with our p 5 plus one partners on the best way forward the p 5 plus one of course being the 5 permanent representatives of the security council the us china france russia the u.k.

and germany so bottom line here is these talks probably will go on at some point or another both sides still indicate that they are potentially open to it but there's certainly going to be a lot of back room and behind the curtain if you will discussions probably moving forward on how to move it how to get the talks for iran's basically saying to the u.s. we want sanctions relief before we come back to talk to you face to face the biden ministration they've only been in office about 6 weeks now is saying no we're not going to agree to that let's meet face to face and then we'll talk about everything so it's basically a game of who will blink 1st and that's what you're seeing right now. with the latest on that story from washington d.c. thank you salvia arabia says it's intercepted several rockets fired by who the rebels from yemen it says riyadh and cities in the kingdom south were targeted the incident comes as the who the step up their offensive in the yemeni province of mighty but one of the nation's main oil

the who thinks at the negotiating table this is a very critical thinking place it looks like i. would like to be in the stronger position and. these thoughts the problem of course is that these short term gains there. could actually hear a thing you the stresses launched by new u.s. administration the yemeni government has issued urgent calls for the who these to stop their offensive they warn of a humanitarian catastrophe merab is already harm to the largest concentration of displaced yemenis and he's to make his 2000000 people. still the government is fighting back on saturday they reported killing 350 hooty fighters in just 30 hours and cobra benefits a suicide mission. when the yemeni government urges them into the fighting it's not

to roll out its coronavirus vaccination program after receiving its 1st batch of vaccines from china 600000 cinna donated by the chinese government were greeted by the president that manila airport the philippines is the 2nd worst hit country in southeast asia but the vaccination program has lagged behind many of its neighbors well it's set to start in the capital on monday but as jim now reports there are concerns over when it's going to reach areas. this is one of the most advanced and sophisticated vaccine storage facilities in the philippines. around. we have. the.

funds have also been allocated to purchase growing virus vaccines for millions of its people but the situation isn't deceiving many rural towns in this small town the. province villagers say they are allocating about 10 percent of their annual budget to the purchase of crew in the virus vaccines it's money that was meant for infrastructure and education. and i think. we know that the philippines. the national government going to that says that this way we decided to contribute for the good the power constituents. in. this refrigerator is a lifeline it stores of vaccines for paul. and we'll be able to keep. that don't need sophisticated cold storage systems. other wealthier cities are able to set up

separate vaccination facilities rural health clinics like this one will have to serve as main back to the hub at least for now but this by meager resources help workers here tell us they are ready and all they're waiting for now is for the corona virus vaccines to actually arrive the government says it expects to vaccinate 25 percent of its 110000000 people by the end of this year but while other countries have started in occupations vaccines of not even their rights in the philippines we've been on our fears but i must thank you for hours a day. it's really very exhausting the vaccine is very busy start the solution for the pandemic but it surely will offer a very significant solution to this and very still the prospect of them provides hope to millions of filipinos already weary of the

been anticipating this this is the key don't speech so they're just waiting for him it is point to talk and we have seen some excerpts of what he's about to say one of them is that in his opinion my 1st month in office has been the most disastrous in modern history he says we can expect him to attack his detractors it is republicans who voted against him and he's with those who have been critical of him as intially the moderate wing of the party who in his address according to the excerpts he is expected to call a bunch of political hacks in washington but there is a kind of call for unity in which he says the republican party is unified except for those so-called political hacks so what he's really calling for is i concede. to unite the party behind him and there have been suggestions that he will come very close to announcing some kind of activity for the year 2024 when it's been

speculated that him he might run again or another trump might run again or john jr but he will not cross that line at least that's what we're told nevertheless this is donald trump so we never really know what it is. he's going to say he's the ultimate decider and now we no longer has a white house team to put that together for him but he has been. talking to advisors it's very clear that he wants to play a prominent role in the republican party paid you heard his son john jr the other night call this sort of super pac 2 pac maybe the trump political action conference so we'll hear from the president relatively soon kyra rhetoric i think is very likely because he hasn't really spoken since he left the white house his speech is likely to be longer rather than shorter. an hour and a half. as much as. he do an interview with

a friendly american network after that would have to wait to see whether he actually announces anything substantial that we know that he's going to call for unity in the party but behind the trump wing of the party and not the moderates but you've been critical of him and he has been critical as well and john right behind you there were a couple of flags that said trump 2024 i have to say i haven't seen any of those yet but certainly there are people hoping that he or some trump will run for the president presidency in 4 years time john hendren in orlando john as always thank you. well let's go back now to the story that we have been following in nigeria the kidnap of more than 300 students from a school security forces are continuing their search as families of course wait anxiously for news well a little earlier i spoke to an cassie will do the new voices fellow at the aspen institute i asked her how authorities have responded to the recent surge of mass

kidnappings especially in schools in the region. what's important to understand that does issue a bundy to me is something that is about to go off and i mean i'm not on spawn more than to yes. rejoin whereby. communities and also be engaging in different acts of could not of victims and then ransoms out besides it was negative situations where that up article ocelots of ungoverned spaces where it's mostly for people too few travelled by route and this of this of hoping for quite some time now and it's the government's response. has been really to value and security beefing up security can see fine response in that you've got the full 2 years now it doesn't seem to stem the situation because it keeps getting worse it doesn't heed and we heard in one of our

reports from this one school girl that actually managed to hide when her her fellow students were being kidnapped saying that she is hesitant to go back to school unless the government makes sure that schools are safe for me schools as they are soft targets anyway probably one of the reasons that they're being targeted what impact do you think that this could have on all education in that area. i mean even it's quite boring because. into global estimates you dismiss all munis of nigeria and particularly the modern rejoined. abysmal. rates of out of school children more than 10000000 out of a dream into who of managing out on different schools have been targeted primarily their signature company jews the upper title students. parents would not want to give their children to school. because of the lack of safety and the security that

is there so what i would see that it would significantly on on on on a not on school not in the hands. when people think of kidnapping of schoolgirls in nigeria of course many minds are cast back to that school girls that were kidnapped by boko haram in 2014 more than 100 of them still haven't been traced do you think these cases are comparable in any way and if not why. i mean so in terms of the fog it sees the desire non-state actor those targets in. germany who are part of one soft targets in this situation and using them as a means to secure the release of all of the leagues or to actually get to drown soames that's where the similarity release what in terms

of. ideology it's in the arts and so many people who are on is actually quite different from bandits i mean in terms of the fun. for more religious ideology that's that's not actually. a rigid ideology that's. what we've seen because of pundits isn't informed by john of ga all of the situations where the science happened it shows that it is purely economic this is a criminal enterprise and the commune on the walk they have access to small arms on light weapons vast amounts of trifles hands were bound. to move freely with particular i'm very new to do seans around in most was done with john and the group will treat violence on the innocent people. israel says it will begin vaccinating palestinians but only those officially working in illegal settlements in the occupied west bank the country has faced criticism for excluding gaza and

london to aberdeen all of those cases self isolated the 3 english cases 2 of them are for the same family same household at least in south gloucestershire the the 3rd case is perhaps the most worrying of them all because they haven't been able to trace that person yet they didn't fill out fully their test registration card and so presumably they don't know yet that they tested positive so the author of these health authorities in england there are skin granny one who took a test on the 12th or 13th of february who didn't fill in their test results and come to the details to get in touch with them as soon as possible they are also. basically trying to trace and test anyone who was on a flight from zurich to london on friday the 10th because that was where most of these english cases were detected from. salvadorans are heading to the polls on

sunday to elect $84.00 members of the national assembly polls indicate nearly 7 out of 10 voters favor a president that naive party and as matter whether apple or that reports their sphere of the vote could destabilize nearly 3 decades of democratic order. it's mid-term elections in el salvador this year many people are expected to vote along party lines and the new ideas party led by old salvador's president. is a favorite to win. a president who clearly is very popular among voters and even though the president is not on the ballot the logic among many here seems to be that a vote for the president's party is a vote to support the president's national agenda man up in the president of the letter but it's important for us to vote i think president is very capable he has shown us that he can make our country succeed and everyone trust him we know he's going to do good. last november the president will kill his approval rating was 96

percent according to a gallup poll and congressional candidates are hoping to ride on the coattails of that popularity and seize a congressional majority for the president's party isn't it isn't there might be. some analysts however say controlling a majority of seats in the salvadoran congress would further consolidate the powers of the presidency a slippery slope toward the politics of the 1970 s. and eighty's when the president held absolute power he would shout out the thought out if you listen to the propaganda from the new ideas party the only thing they are proposing is to help the president and exist only to carry out the interests of the president by offering no other pragmatic the latest out of purpose. since becoming president in 201990 people killed his popularity has only grown much of this is due to the success of his government's anti-violence initiative which cut

homicides in the country. by almost half. however book killer has also clashed with political opponents and has been criticized by human rights groups who have accused him of having an authoritarian streak pointing to the treatment of gang members in the nation's prisons and last year book ella drew harsh criticism after he brought armed soldiers into will saboteurs national congress building to pressure lawmakers into approving a new security law is having. someone who does not respect the rule of law respects opponents these respects the national and international press and differ specs every person who has the courage to post. some political observers say sunday's municipal and congressional elections could prove consequential for the future of el salvador's democracy. opinion polls project the president's new ideas party will win between 43 and 56 of the 84 seats up for grabs in el salvador as congress one of his lap al-jazeera. so the comment here on
