a defensive posture or defensive maneuvers i should say by the protesters they've built more fortified barricades to try to keep those advancing security forces back at bay we're seeing more shields more steel metal shields that they're using but again you know when you talk about military force you talk about a police force those can only do so much and again we're seeing an aggressive posture from the security forces and we're hearing you know heavy use of tear gas and young gone and we know that in other cities around the country too there has been pushback almost immediate pushback from those security forces come on ok let's talk about unsung suchi then more charges brought up again so we should remind people that the charges that have been brought already were what was it importing walkie talkies or something like that. yeah now there are 3 charges come all the 1st was that one importing illegally imported walkie talkies 6 of them that was

her very 1st charge right after the coup on february 1st then another one came out there was a hearing. that no one really knew about even her attorney till after it had concluded that added another charge a 2nd charge about going against the restrictions when she was campaigning for the election in november and this last one is something that dates back to colonial era times publishing information that could stoke fear or concern so that's the 3rd charge the now she's facing 3 charges come all ok thanks for the updates scott heide lawyer in bangkok. announcer hong kong $47.00 activists and former politicians are in court after being charged under the national security law they're accused of participating in an unofficial election primary is the latest group of government critics to be detained under the law imposed by the government in beijing hundreds of their supporters gathered outside the courthouse as well also there adrian brown reporting for us tell us what's happened today jane.

waiting for proceedings to begin and of course it's going to be a very long process because of the number of people involved this represents the largest mass charge against the pro-democracy camp there are $47.00 activists and politicians inside that courtroom but we're told that the procedures may not begin until 330 in the afternoon my time 4 o'clock perhaps and it could go on well into the night and let's remember kemal more than 10000 people have been. that since the protest happened here in hong kong in june 2019 the chief executive kerry has also said that when the nationals look security law came into effect it would only affect a small number of people so far more than $100.00 people have been arrested under that law and half that number have been charged. thank you adrian but i'm sure we'll be talking to you again later on in hong kong if europeans here in the

trump they'd been forced to wait there for a chance to apply for asylum in the u.s. . now problems on the other sort of finally over after so much suffering and waiting thank god we've triumphed. and it's so amazing to see how far you know them can come to know this president joyce the moment when they're a contrast to the border wall the legacy of trump's crackdown on immigration biden's dramatic pivot away from those policies include a proposal that would eventually offer citizenship to the $11000000.00 undocumented immigrants currently living in the united states that plan if it becomes law would not help the migrants who are arriving now but they're coming regardless the u.s. border patrol reports a surge in migrants inspired in one office many of them children traveling without

parents that's led to the reopening of temporary shelters for migrant children the same shelters that drew protests when they were opened by trump what i have seen so far you buy into ministration is very focused on family unity and protection of the human life so i think that there is that is a process you have to. just hope baby doesn't face to long for the children to be in bad 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

conservative crowd that includes the head of the proud boys who calls establishment republicans rhinos republicans in name only and i get it from 440. 7 5 right right. right right. right here that we're going to vote right now already. happened. i want to broaden the party now. but whether the party's 2024 presidential standard bearer will be named trump or which trump donald don jr or if he didn't say who do you like to see leave the party in 2024 is there any leader. and what about the other. john jr. i hope they run for 28 in his 1st public address since he left the white house rejected by voters trump ease the minds of many republicans with a call to unify the party across the bitter divide he helped create the republican

party is united the only division is between a handful of washington d.c. establishment political hacks and everybody else all over the country i think we have tremendous and. the call for unity behind trump is a challenge to those republicans the party behind someone else and it was. but the former president isn't releasing his vice like grip on a clear majority of republican voters every party but now especially the republican party has to look inside after january 6th and say what have we become what's our great history and how do we go forward from here and reaching out to donald trump and more of the same is not going to do that as expected in his kitchen sink his speech trump attacked his rivals promise to defeat them and repeated baseless claims that he won the past election actually as you know they just lost the white house but he also left the door wide open for another run in 2024 who knows

i may even decide to beat them for a 3rd time ok i. it was a welcome message for everyone in attendance but for other conservative voters and politicians it's a worrisome reminder of the widening rift in a bitterly divided republican party john hendren al-jazeera orlando florida. efforts to salvage the 2015 nuclear deal between iran and major world powers have stalled the white house says it's disappointed iran's ruled out informal discussions with its european allies iran's foreign ministry says it's too soon to return to the negotiating table teheran wants the u.s. to make the 1st move by lifting unilateral sanctions iran says it will respond accordingly if europe takes any action against it follows reports suggesting the u.k. germany and france are working on a resolution they plan to present to the international atomic energy agency it will

condemn iran for breaching the deal last week to iran stop voluntary cooperation with the agency and in all surprise inspections and disabling cameras which are supposed to monitor its nuclear facilities the agency chief or a failed grossly reached an agreement with iran to continue those inspections for at least 3 months the agency's board of governors is also scheduled to meet later on monday to discuss iran's nuclear program let's hear from trita parsi executive vice president of the quincy institute who says both sides need to make goodwill gestures if they want to see some progress. 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 justice 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 the buy 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 one thing that has really unhelpful here is that the europeans have decided to go to the 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 and that all of its obligations and has not gotten sensitive for it so i think that move in the midst of this very delicate dance to try to get the 2 parties to take in this will small step not so much to be a loose face but enough to get the process started has really not been helpful and

perhaps it will be would draw on 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 the syrian military says its ads offense has responded to an israeli strike near damascus state media say the missiles were fired from the occupied golan heights but most were intercepted in the vicinity of the capital has been no official response from israel which rarely comments on strikes against syria. coronavirus news and millions of people are in lockdown in brazil's capital to help ease pressure on health facilities many hospitals in brasilia are strained to capacity with kovac 19 patients the 2 week lockdowns angered some with hundreds protesting against the restrictions. he has a report on the firing the latest restrictions hundreds protested in front of the governor's mansion in brazilian sunday with one clear message.

and the lockdown governor we want to work listen to the voice of the people we want to work we want to work. angry at the latest lockdown imposed on the city to stem a rising wave of infections left hospitals on the verge of collapse. the current restrictions mean only essential services will be allowed for didn't next 2 weeks the same is happening in dozens of other cities in states across the country. but despite the risks protesters in brazil are not the only ones concerned about the economic impact. and friday president just. threatened to cut off federal and aid to states there are imposing lock downs and curfews to quell the surge was you know millions you know emergency aid will come for a few more months and from now on governors who close down their states and governors who destroyed jobs will have to provide for their own emergency aid.

but the brazilian red cross is urging the government to take the crisis seriously. to my health is much more important than the economic situation the country has a sick economy people working in infecting others will not help us so we call on the government to take precautions. a vaccination campaign is under way but delays in deliveries have a time slowed down the rollout to a trickle on saturday to new batches of ingredients to produce the chinese scene of act vaccine in brazil landed in rio renewing hope to jumpstart the campaign with. a core of a 1000000 brazilians lives lost from cope with so far and more than a 1000 still dying every day the road ahead remains fraught with sorrow and pain. the philippines has begun vaccinating its population against covert 19 1st batch of

the chinese made sign about jobs arrived on sunday the philippines the 2nd worst hit country in the region and its vaccination program has lagged behind many of its neighbors. vaccination center in manila. there is a lot of fanfare around this called vaccination rollout here in the philippines today we are at the long center of the philippines which is one of the main hope in 1000 hospitals in the country over thinking vaccines are being rolled out in the 6 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 to philippines as well as general public have been waiting for these calls with my team back scenes for months and. there's a lot of criticism of government officials bungling these posted 19 vaccination

efforts they said that will be making vaccines were arriving in december it's now march the philippines is the last country in southeast asia for rollout 1000 back scenes but it's also important to note that these are only 600000 doses of the chinese vaccine manufactured by the chinese part was that of a company signed of that and these were not bought by the philippine government these are don't need 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 the general public. and these ilands prime ministers are urging people to report lock down rule break ins just in their own don't address the growing anger about the 7 day lockdown in all city 2nd in a month which is prompted by a single new covered $9000.00 infection. our plan is for short and sharp restrictions in order to break the chain of transmission but rule breaking can

prolong that plan. so that is why i'm asking if anyone now more than is that to continue to bacon support one another. and if that means calling a family member a work colleague out for not following the rules then we should do that do it with kindness but do it. finally some news in the golden globe awards where filmmaker closures are made history by becoming the 1st woman of asian descent to win the award for best director it was for the film nomad land also the black panther star chadwick boseman won a posthumous golden globe for best actor in a drama film winning the award for his role as a horn player in the film ma rainey's black bottom of me died of colon cancer last year at the age of $43.00. past the hour and these are the top stories prosecutors in may and mara filed
