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. 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 and for the 1st in many areas people blocked the roads for the stickles and comes the progress of the police indeed as they tried to clear a path in some places the protesters tried to take the stand during projectiles among the top coat tails of 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. correspondent tracking the story this from bangkok scott good morning is this likely to stop people from going back to the streets either today or in the days to come peter there is no indication that they're going to stop coming out on the streets and actually there are indications today monday that they will continue to do that that they've started to gather actually in yangon we know they are going to go back and down in the south we're hearing reports that they are also heading already back out to the streets despite the bloodiest day since the coup on february 1st one thing we are hearing from from our contacts on the ground in yang gone the one thing they might change they the protesters is they might have more defensive apparatus if you will what that could entails we don't really know because what we've been seeing over the last couple of

days particularly sunday it's very makeshift they have kind of work hard hats and makeshift shields and clearly that's not enough when you're dealing with security forces from myanmar so that is something we're looking at right now we do expect them to come out when they come out in the same numbers we've seen over the last couple days that's left to be seen but peter they are resolute in what they're fighting for and they say they're going to come back out and have started to indicate that they will peter we've heard a lot of strong international condemnation scott how do you think that will be received particularly by the military in me and. well peter you know we've been hearing a lot of rhetoric condemnation from the international community over the last 3 weeks since the coup took place 3 weeks plus and it really hasn't changed the way the military has been cracking down over the last maybe 4 or 5 days against these protest movements so there's really no indication from them that they will change their tactics right now even though the rhetoric is increasing and ask the united

states is saying that they're going to take further actions against what's happening in myanmar i don't know exactly what those further actions can be probably another round or tougher sanctions but it appears as though the military really isn't responding to that one thing we're keeping a very close eye on tuesday in the region there's going to be a aussie on the regional block meeting to deal with the situation to discuss the situation in myanmar it might be interesting to see if maybe regional players have more of an influence with me and mar but again when you look at the regional players they also have vested interest in a peaceful me and mark particularly here in thailand that is very large trade with the nation to the west so it'll be interesting to see how that's all kind of unravel but at least that will be another discussion with other bodies other entities other nations discussing what's going on on the streets of myanmar right now but again peter it there really hasn't been much reaction or change in the way

that the security forces the joint to have been handling the situation after all this rhetoric we've already heard the condemnation it really hasn't done much ok scott we'll leave it there many thanks to the reporting live from bangkok. $47.00 exodus some from the politicians are in court in hong kong being charged under the national security law they're accused of taking part in an unofficial election primary is the latest group of government critics to be detained under the will imposed by beijing hundreds of the supporters of gathered outside the courthouse as it was correspondent adrian brown joins us live from hong kong a of us will cruise through what's going through in the. courthouse today. well it's what's happening outside the courthouse peter that's interesting if you mentioned in your introduction hundreds of people have gathered outside the west kalou magistrates court to queue stretches right around the block and a lot of the people are shouting some of the slogans that you used to hear during

the protests in 2019 ike fight for freedom stand with hong kong slogans that are now basically borderline seditious there is a heavy police presence and in the last few minutes the police have been asking people to leave the area warning them that they are breaching social distancing rules so something of a standoff taking place outside of the court but it does show the enormous interest there is in this trial before he 7 activists and politicians who were charged with violating the national security law are due to arrive here at the court in the next few minutes but on top of that there's another trial taking place involving 57 activists connected to the protests in 2019 so you have what more than a 100 people appearing in court today which means it could take until this evening for all these cases to be processed and it gives you another graphic tangible reminder of just how clocked up the legal system is going to become in hong kong

allies iran's foreign ministry says it's too early to be back at the negotiating table tehran wants the u.s. to lift unilateral sanctions 1st now iran is warning it will respond accordingly if any action is taken against it by european countries the warning follows reports suggesting the u.k. germany and france are working on a resolution they planned to present to the international atomic energy agency that was censored iran over its recent steps last week tehran stopped voluntary cooperation with the agency ending all surprise inspections and disabling cameras set to monitor nuclear facilities the international atomic energy agency chief rafael grossi reached an agreement with iran to continue those inspections for at least 3 months the agency's board of governors is shuttle to meet on monday morning to discuss iran's nuclear program let's bring in trita parsi he's the executive vice president of the quinsy institute he joins us from washington d.c.

welcome back to al-jazeera so a saying the process a stalled could we say should we be saying the process is dead. it is certainly not that this is extremely unfortunate this is not helpful what the iranians have decided it is unfortunately not surprising however from their perspective the biden restriction is continuing trans sanctions policy and just as trump sought to have dialogue with the iranians while he was sanctioning them with crippling sanctions in the midst of a pandemic and they said no to that they are refusing to engaging on that if there are no signs from biden that he will lift the sanctions if he rejoins the deal and this is a by administration on the other hand feel that they should not have to give any concessions to the iranians before getting talks started this is getting serious it is problematic but this process is far from that ok parts of the serious aspects of

this is iran warning it will respond accordingly what does it mean by that. well i think one thing that is really on helpful here is that the europeans have decided to go incident board of governors of the i.a.e.a. and start a century a new conflict there which seemed to have complicated matters tremendously we have to remember that the iranians have reduced some of their obligations and they're going to get censored for that according to europeans the united states has ended all of its obligations and has not gotten a sense that forage so i think that move in the midst of this very delicate dance to try to get the 2 parties to take initial small step not so much she didn't lose face but enough to get the process started has really not been helpful and perhaps it will be withdrawn but it is part of this very problematic opening to this diplomacy at this time both sides should be doing goodwill gestures rather than taking these type of measures looking back between where we are today or where we

were in the dying days of the trumpet ministration 2050 seems to me you had the iranians on one side the americans on the other side and the europeans in the middle are the europeans now repositioning themselves in effect in behind the americans here and adopting a tougher stance a tougher position with the government in tehran because they have to and that's why they're going down this road of hinting or signaling we will censor the iranians even though that might not be very helpful in the immediate short term. well i think the europeans have always been on the american side what they managed to do in the past however was to facilitate and help come up with creative solutions in the background the iranians had an easier time politically to talk to the europeans directly then with the u.s. so that was a very helpful role that the europeans played particularly after did he come out getting any and the e.a.'s in the past that unfortunately seems to have been

somewhat handicapped at this point and it is unfortunate i think that's part of the reason why we see some other countries stepping up and doing some mediation part of the reason why it seems like the i.a.e.a. is doing some of the mediation right now which is not really its role in all of this we really need to have all sides walk back from the brink because soon enough this can become really serious particular mindful of the fact that the iranians are having their presidential elections and they will end to their election season in roughly 3 weeks and at that point it may not be any ability to resolve this for the foreseeable future at least for the next couple of months and the pending on what happens in the iranian elections we manned up having a party on the iranian side that is actually far less interested in negotiations with the u.s. and the rouhani government is always good to get your clarity on this developing changing by the hour it seems sometimes story good to talk to trita parsi the talking to us from washington thank you so much. if europeans in the northern

different major government hospitals here in the in the capital manila now why is there this level of anticipation it's because health care workers here in the philippines as well as general public have been waiting for these corporate name back scenes for months and. there's a lot of criticism of government officials bungling these hope it 19 vaccination efforts they said that $1000.00 vaccines were arriving in december it's now march the philippines is the last country in southeast asia for all out over 1000 back scenes but it's also important to note that these are only 600000 those as of the chinese that seem manufactured by the chinese part of which would have a company sign of that and these were not bought by the philippine government these are donations by the chinese government so there's

a long way to go before the philippine government and vaccinate all of its health care workers as well as well as the general public. but to me thanks very much donna below the reporting live from minute. u.s. border patrol agents of recorded nearly $80000.00 migrants along the country's southern border with mexico in january the highest figure for the month in at least a decade is forcing president joe biden to confront a growing border crisis after cancelling the hardline anti immigrant policies of the trumpet ministrations al jazeera as i did to castro reports now from brownsville in texas. they waited 2 years for this moment the 1st steps of freedom in the united states. it was just this morning these families woke up in a squalid camp across the border and matamoros mexico under former president donald trump they'd been forced to wait there for a chance to apply for asylum in the u.s.

far by donor ministration is very focused on family unity and protection of human life so i think that that that. it's a process that. i just hope baby doesn't take too long for those children to be in that place jostling zamora and her 2 year old daughter had waited out from the presidency in nicaragua where they've been threatened by gangs now they've just crossed into the us with little drama. but there were no before we were scared we'd be returned to our country where we could have been harmed now it's much better we can be with our families in a much safer place humanitarian groups are helping migrants get kovi tests and bus tickets to head toward the american interior there with relatives or friends who long awaited their arrival eventually have a chance to see an immigration judge who will then decide if they can stay heidi
