international pressure builds against the joint and its increasingly violent crackdown against protesters some feel it might prompt the military to dig in deeper the worse case scenario is when you try to put a hot plate on a military person you know sometimes the outcome is not what you expect they may. get matt and instead. followed a way that international community stand out once they do opposite things. he went on to say the best approach with the military is a regional war with nations myanmar is familiar with and views as allies that process is to start on tuesday when the regional bloc of southeast asian nations known as ossie on is due to start talks on me in mar scott hodler al-jazeera. let's speak to another of our correspondents covering the story tony chang tony to talk us through these new charges that on concert she is facing and also how man mom

moves past the standoff in the streets. well the 1st charge relates to the walkie talkies that she was originally charged with importing illegally that it's related to using them to broadcast illegally the 2nd charge is that she has. published information that may cause fear alarm or disrupt public tranquillity i think that appears to relate to. the mation from her party published in the in the run up to the elections in the member that the military are contesting with no evidence but. i mean we've seen today these clashes are continuing the army and the police are pushing back the lot of tear gas fired on the streets and still huge crowds and i think the concern is that as this continues to mount the pressure builds up things have enormous potential to spiral

out of control we've seen sanctions coming in from the united states from the e.u. and the u.k. but they haven't worked in the past tomorrow we're going to see a meeting of asean leaders in southeast asian nations within their group the one country that really could have an impact the thais thailand of the sea went through a coup itself some years ago and those same generals are still in charge they also have a personal relationship with the senior generals in myanmar whether they can actually persuade them to stand back is another question and they haven't shown themselves to be particularly managed to particularly on the world stage they aren't very good at thinking where the other nations can persuade them to take on their role is debatable china are also could step in the chinese are known to be very influential but they also don't have a particularly good relationship with me

a man's army they fought many battles in the past and china has huge economic clout . in myanmar but i think at this stage the chinese are is confused as everybody else and just sitting sitting back to see how things develop the problem is with the amount of violence we're now seeing on the streets things could spiral out of control and so no one can intervene. ok thank you for that tony chang there across developments from bangkok. and breaking news a court in france has just handed down a guilty verdict in the corruption trial of former president nicolas sarkozy he is convicted of offering a job in monaco to a judge in exchange for information on an investigation into his campaign finances that's go live straightaway to natasha butler who is in paris natasha i don't know if it was this a surprise was this verdict expected and what sort of sentence might we expect.

well it's obviously a devastating blow for nicolas sarkozy a former french president the 1st former french president to be served a jail term because what we understand is the charge of the court has given the nicolas sarkozy a 3 year jail term 2 years to be suspended one year to be served in jail although we understand it could be carried out as a form of house arrest he is expected to appeal but of course this is not the news that this former french president wanted because all along in this trial which began in november nicolas sarkozy had proclaimed his innocence now he's been found guilty of passive corruption and influence peddling and this is a case which dates back to 2014 in which he was at that is it's a marriage that so cozy try to influence a magistrate by offering him a job in return for information into another investigation because police were carrying out into sol cozies campaign funding well in terms of sarkozy as i said he

is expected to appeal of course in terms of his future political ambition this will be a blow to that he has been trying to stage a comeback of since he left the elites say in 2012 he was voted out he even tried to run for the presidency in 2017 but you'd have to think that any form of reappearance or the stage politically for sarkozy is really out of the question now all right thank you for that natasha and paris. $47.00 prominent activists are in court in hong kong after being charged under beijing's controversial national security law they're accused of subversion to taking part in an unofficial election primary last year it's the largest use of the law to date against pro-democracy activists brown has more from hong kong. there was a heavy demand for seats at west kalou magistrates court on monday morning the queue stretching around the block dressed in the uniform of the protest movement then mood was defiant like many of those now facing charges the police tactic was

constructive discussions and to preserve the work of the agency for me that is important of course there will always be opinions on what the impact of what is going on at this a this point in time there are many things influencing us you know the if you run should they should there at the capitals there is this process days jay should be a process that of course people will have views on how one thing impacts the other like a greater scope of the our shammy joins me now from vienna where grassley was holding that press conference and there are what else have we been hearing from the i.a.e.a. . well actually the i.a.e.a. has tried to stand on to equal distance from all the parties here because it was also intention by 3 of the countries which are members in the. meeting today we saw

france germany and the united kingdom to actually issue a statement within the itself as an official stance towards iran and this the i.a.e.a. itself through its chief. said in the press conference that they cannot be used as a bargaining chip and when it comes to you know issues like this these are political stances not for the agency itself to say but still nonetheless the chief said that they are you know has to worry about the developments in terms of the iranian nuclear program and he said that the agreement that was reached about 8 days ago in thought on with the iranians at which kind of extends for 90 days this space that the agency could work with despite the idea that the iran has stopped working with the additional protocol it kind of shows that they is a possibility for diplomacy but still this needs to be worked more in his opening

remarks actually a grossly also mentioned that they are questions that haven't been answered by the iranians in reference to 4 different sides which are believed to contain nuclear material but the iranians haven't given any on says even before his visit this was not responded to at the same time he conveyed to the iranians when he met them on the 21st of february but he still believes as to what he mentioned in the press conference that the options are state of there for a diplomatic solution and there was also something mentionable by the european union today been a kind of mediator between the iranians and the americans which was said in the daily press conference by the spokesperson press the foreign affairs to stand which you mentioned that this by the iranians. now in saying yesterday that they will not be sitting at the moment with the americans on one table before these sanctions are lifted that there is still an on on you know an on going kind of diplomatic effort

to actually still bring them together so he mentioned that the iranian stance towards this issue the idea of bravado even back of the 2015 nuclear agreement and having both sides the united states and iran be on the table that's still ongoing but still the gross either of the agency said that they are concerns on what the iranians could be doing now because the possibility of verification and monitoring is not as the same as it was before and still there is a possibility to bring everyone back on the table hopefully very soon thanks for that time to be there live from vienna. these really prime minister is blaming iran for an attack on a cargo ship the israeli owned vessel was damaged by an explosion in the gulf of oman on friday of last left holes and it's how the ship is now docked in dubai and who wouldn't be drawn on direct retaliation iran's foreign ministry denies that the country was involved well time now for the weather as everton. hello we have

a digital green pass effectively a vaccine significant or passport that would allow the person with the certificate to travel from one place to another and not necessarily have to go into quarantine or some form of lockdown thereafter effectively the person would have to be able to prove one of 3 things either that they had had a vaccination both vaccinations and therefore han't could prove that they'd had the japs or that they could prove the result of a very recent p.c.r. test for covert or in the 3rd instance that they had recovered from coded in the recent past and therefore would have some degree of immunity now so the fund and i and says that all of this will be done with data protection in mind so that no individual's sensitive medical private personal data. could be mis used the point here is that what she's doing is in some ways trying to align the e.u.

institutionally with what's mini member states of being wanting to see happen for some time now as was mentioned this idea that certain member states of already set greece cyprus they will respect the vaccination details of the other in those in that particular scenario but one of the thing to bear in mind here that there are many states where vaccination uptake has so far been very slow with regard to other countries outside the and so whilst many people might welcome the idea of a vaccine certificate to allow them to travel 1st of all they want to have the vaccination then they can worry about the vaccination certificate thereafter certainly that's. of you here in germany among many people but in summation what we have here now is line laying out this idea of a digital green pass that would be people could expect to be reaching fruition at

for. time after sports history to thank him spanish police have raided the office. of barcelona football club and made several arrests among those reportedly detained is the club's former president just say for maria bartiromo seen on the left here the

operation is related to last year's so-called bossa gate where officials were accused of launching a smear campaign on social media against some of their own players who were critical of clubs leadership including their biggest star the n.l. messy let's bring in a.p.'s global sports correspond rob heresies in london he's across the story rob what do we know about today's events. well it's still a developing situation the police raided the famous new stadium this morning and we've discovered it's the financial crimes department involved in this investigation we don't know how many people are in custody but the republican polls are showing not that bazza mayor the former club president is one of them he was forced to resign last year in a midst full of control to say with the club mired in financial difficulties there are a reptilian your rise in debt and is also more on the pitch to wave a pair of humiliates the results in the last year the 8 collapse to buy me to make the form defeat our new recently post as well to paris sanjay man and this all

comes in the week that bots may have success is due to be elected in the final stages of the election campaign and we've heard from one of the candidates to days ron paul of former president himself a boss a loner who believes that what we're seeing today is a consequence of the bad management of the club and so much of that perhaps relates to the handling of the biggest player of them all lionel messi he tried to leave in the summer his transfer request was denied and leaks recent showing that he's paid up to 138000000 euros a season and that just really highlights how much white bost line is in such a financial mess and also why we saw an alleged campaign against messi and other players known as boss a gate which seems to be at the heart of this investigation today and i'd like to elaborate a little bit on that boss again what is it all about what is being alleged. well the key part of it is the fact that social media influences and accounts were being

used to allegedly smear and spread disinformation perhaps about some of boss loaners biggest names lightly on a messy and p.k. bustline it did conduct an investigation they brought an external source in and did find there was no wrongdoing from the leadership of barcelona but there are still questions clearly to be answered about just what was going on in terms of trying to potentially spread missin misinformation and and smear some of the biggest names in barcelona's history all a time of course when they're trying to return to the to the summer of football they won not a single try feel last season really unprecedented barcelona and this year currently they're 8 points behind outlets acoma trade at the top of the leader and potentially facing elimination in the champions league and one of the players reportedly targeted as we mentioned there's an e n l macy we know that he tried to leave last season as well does he still want to out there we know. well one of the things that girls massey said when he wanted to

lee was questioning the quality of the squad and perhaps an aging team that was not in a position to compete and does seem he has been proven wrong if in these last few months of the fact they're struggling to challenge for the league at sites or face an exit in the champions league unless they can mount another great comeback at p.s.g. as they did a couple of years ago and he is of course entering the final stages of his contract and barcelona needing to try to sort out that situation where they want to find a release and to relieve themselves that big salary off the wage bill and does messi want perhaps another challenge as he did talk about last summer certainly barcelona have a big nest syl to resolve regarding how do you know one of the greatest players of all time and is irritation frustration was clear when he wanted to leave last summer and it was a really tense period when of course he was denied the ability to move not many clubs in world football could afford him perhaps because one of the muted is

broadcast the rebel who says racing has been rocked by the story it's horrendous there's no 2 ways about it i know when the pictures were 1st circulated everybody in the sport was duly hoping that these photos this photo was photo shopped and was a fake well clearly it has proved not to be the case and racing is reeling from it that statement to many people doesn't really answer the question what he was doing sitting astride a dead horse under any circumstances even while answering a phone this is going to cause the ari for a single surratt is a huge headache they got sort of procedures in place for punishing anyone who brings the sport into disrepute but i think this is a new level and i'm sure they want to get this was old as quickly as possible you could range from him being losing his training license or he could be given a substantial fine to sort of use a football analogy and in ireland there are 2 big powerhouses
