crackdown intensifies 5 independent media organizations have also been stripped of their licenses we also have malaysians high court which has allowed rights groups to challenge the deportation of me and miles nationals are a 1000 people were sent back to me in march in february including asylum seekers although there are likely to be returned this could set a precedent for other cases in the future let's talk to scott hired lawyer in bangkok for us today so let's start with that side of the story scott the high court's decision to release the fact that these can now be challenge these deportations tell us about the potential knock on effect. well yes this is coming down in the last hour or so so we had a court hearing today a court hearing today and what it was is to establish if these human rights groups including the international had the right to challenge the immigration department in malaysia on its move of deporting 1086 me m.r.

nationals back on february 23rd today it came out that yes the court said that you can challenge they have the right to challenge this is going to be another hearing in about 2 weeks time what it does as you said come on yes it sets precedent for moving forward with cases like this with deportations like this no it also needs to be said that there was even a previous court ruling that said that they shouldn't be deported but the immigration department did it anyway in malaysia so not only. does this case set precedent again you know we're just at the beginning they were granted the right to challenge what took place but also there are about just over 100 asylum seekers still in malaysia so that means that they will stay put they won't be they can't be deported now as this process is going on right now. scott let's go back to what was happening overnight in may in itself pretty frightening not it seems for a couple of 100 of suppose 100 protesters. it

was and this was in a neighborhood within yangon they had protests during the day on monday as as usual but then security forces kind of corralled them in a certain area and even said that they were going to go to door to door to find those protesters because again in the streets of myanmar those protests are illegal and the police and security forces said that they were going to find the protesters and arrest them they were given refuge in houses and homes within that area they were finally released about 5 am local time in myanmar and we do know though that there are some there were some arrests we don't know exactly how many at it from what we're hearing now it's probably a couple of dozen or so at least you know most of them were able to get out but some arrest still took place but what it underlines commom and that is this stepped up tactic by the security forces in myanmar of intimidation we saw when they were going around this neighborhood and young gone with these hundreds of protesters corralled in

a certain area they walked through the neighborhood through flash bang grenades pot shots with with live rounds. in and around houses now this is something we've seen you know multiple nights going but obviously they focused on this because they said they wanted to try to find these particular this particular group of protesters but really it's just part of this ongoing campaign stepped up campaign of intimidation in myanmar thank you for all of that. in bangkok to brazil where former presidents no easy not see them and that the silver is set for what's described as a sensational political comeback his conviction on corruption charges has been an old by a supreme court judge that's restoring his rights to contest next year's presidential election look at the most popular figures on the left of brazilian politics and if he decides to run for president that means he would face off against the far right populist. oh oh oh oh oh no no no no no

this was hollow lou the supporters out on the streets to celebrate the court's ruling they say it has given them hope. was about the night before were bill so narrow i would not sleep peacefully because i'm sure they don't generally 1st 2023 he will be passing the presidential session to lula i also think it is a feeling of hope it is a feeling that we have a chance to reestablish democracy in our country and fight for our rights more on the story with monica you know kevin rio de janeiro. just fission was taken not because they considered to be in the center or guilty but they said that he was he was tried in the wrong place in the wrong court he was tried as part of the car wash scandal and they say that that the with the reason why they should be tried that had nothing to do with the carwash scandal so it should have been said of being a court in the southern city of footage of it should be in brazilian the capital

that would mean that he would be retried in this case but as of now he's cleared to run. for elections next year and yes he is the opposite extreme opposite of the president right wing president. so this polarizes the election once more because in 20 teen i had not been able to run because of this conviction so now he's he's back on track on the political scenario once more and this is because you can see the divisions are still on social media there were many that celebrated the decision saying that this proves that it was innocent all along and it was a political persecution and there are them those criticizing the decision saying that it shows that corruption must is still at large and president also and i don't stay in power to fight it because he he ran with this slogan in your campaign with

fighting for corruption. senate. minority leader in the brazilian senator tell us the great news. we are very happy that the justice was believed was done. in fact it's not exactly a technicality only if the. theft of mega technicalities but above all it has been evidence clear evidence indicating clues are between prosecutors and magistrate on the kawar operation. meaning that in any government when you want to prosecute and punish. wrong gross procedures or forms of government you have the real channels to do with injustice even in brazil and this was not done what was done

was not at it kind of a certain time of the investigation all of the investigation become to be. contaminated by politics by political discussion by political disputes and this was what made the process now to be an old. senegal's opposition leader was calling for more protests but he says they have to be peaceful he addressed supporters after being released on bail 10 people have now died in the unrest triggered by his arrest on right charges president macky sall is appealing for calm as nicolas hawke reports from. a night of celebration after days of protests. there he is released on bail to spend some go addresses the nation in this press conference by his side are leading figures of senegalese opposition look at this most of. the people are sending us politicians

a message no matter convictions or beliefs we have a dysfunctionality to unite the show and bring back politics to its noble cause you presenting the people. several people died in scores were injured after he was arrested over rape charges his supporters believe the case is politically motivated . the presence of the military did not deter demonstrators nor did the tear gas nor the police dressed in civilian clothes wielding baseball bats restricting the internet to did not stop the hash tag 3 senegal from trending. hundreds if not thousands of people are gathering here still the following the security forces who are far tear gas there's a sense among supporters. that when the end. it's a victory for them and a reminder to the government that they're accountable not to big business in

corporations but to the people. demonstrators looted supermarkets accusing president mikey cell of failing the country's poor by protecting big business interests. after days of protests he finally addressed the nation realizing that the demonstrations were not just about who's months but about many senegalese feeling disenfranchised. their generation faced with so many hardships experiences on happiness is quite understandable to me at the same time let's avoid participating in anything that the laser's in the quest for a better future. when you're in 2nd visions when you take the goods of others you don't create jobs you destroy them you don't reduce poverty you make it worse. the president extended the current of virus curfew until midnight to allow small shop owners longer business hours but for many the protests are not just about the

economic crisis or politics but about defending senegal's a long standing tradition of democracy and freedom values the protesters say are worth fighting for nicolas hawke algis the right to car libya's house of representatives has started consultations to confirm the newly appointed government the un has called the session historic if confirms the cabinet of prime minister designate are the how made the better but will replace the 2 rival administrations we had in the east and west he's been appointed to lead an interim unity government as part of the peace process parliament has until march 24th to make a decision this session held in sirte once and i still strong hold and more recently controlled by forces loyal to the warlord khalifa haftar. margolis we walk with them today the house of representatives received insecurely to the formation of the government and the proposed plan and the ministry of information was

at the moment something like 30000000 or so people have been vaccinated and it's hovering between 9 and 10 percent of the population of course we need to get to about 40 percent before we get to that magic herd immunity so this is very specific advice for those that have been fully vaccinated or in other words if i had both shots and waited the appropriate time so what we're talking about here are more elderly members of the population people who perhaps haven't seen their families for the last 12 months remember people who haven't been allowed to visit for instance long term care facilities so for these people this is a boon this is extremely welcome news because this will help their mental condition they can reconnect with their families but there are some caveats if they are going to visit their families it has to be local only c.d.c. says their advice is not to travel also if they're out in public they still need to social distance and wear masks because the science behind these vaccines is not completely yet known it doesn't know if these people can still spread covered 19 despite the fact that they have been vaccinated but these guidelines have been

a long time coming i think for those that have been isolated in a way for their families for such a long time this is extremely welcome news. well the u.s. is granting temporary protected status to venezuelan migrants living there a decision that could help around 320000 people follows up on election promises made by president joe biden his administration says it's working to coordinate international pressure against the venezuelan president nicolas maduro to hold free and fair elections here is vanessa newman venezuelan american former diplomat who served as a consultant to the state department on last in america she says this decision's been welcomed by venezuelans the venezuelan that asked for a celebration because it represents a shift from the relationship with the trump president zuma to the relationship of the guided presidency among venice what is an absolute collapse you have something like 90 percent of that has fallen within the country have food insecurity meaning that they women stand on line for 10 hours just to find food to eat and then when

they when they when they at the exit if they have worn from going to swallow it will be the biggest migration exit is in the world it's going to surpass your area by the end of this year so the fact that the state department downstairs today on the international day of woman's day it is significant because that women have are so greatly impacted and basically we already have a goal to have over $7000000.00 refugees by the end of this year so biden is giving the example he has said that he will not. do the presidency so he is giving the example that step one you need to address the humanitarian crisis and to be consistent you need to protect the people who have fled this humanitarian crisis and enter the united states t.p.s. permission is very very clear that it is temporary protected status applies to the people who have who are here in the united states you know and this is their main residence so it takes them from being illegal to be illegal basically so these are

people who have entered the united states are here already or trying to or they can't work there were in this diplomatic limbo. well it is international women's day and demonstrations across latin america being driven by a growing outcry over inequality and gender based violence in the argentinian capital buenos aires activists are out on the streets calling for an end to violence against women women's groups say the government just doesn't do enough to combat femicide. first of all with more from buenos aires. thank you in front of argentina congress where thousands of people have gathered to denounce the finance against women in argentina women rights groups are saying that women it's nearly every 29 hours in argentina so far this year over 50 years i think that's why they're pushing for the government to have what they say is a gender. urgency you know women here are carrying the frankford care that you can

see here that greets me when i may notice or not one less referring to the amount of women that have been killed in this country last year congress in argentina legalized abortion in this country women rights groups are saying that already around $500000.00 irregular abortions happen in argentina that many women end up being hospitalized because of that and that's why legalizing abortion in this country west christian women. face in about 14 argentina with a huge victory and rights groups like this people here are saying that much more needs to happen in order to save women's lives funny the british royal family is under mounting scrutiny following that interview between prince harry and meghan markle and oprah winfrey meghan said concerns have been raised by a member of the family about the color of their child cues the royal household of

racism and bullying which they say forced them to step away from the monarchy these baka reports from loved. i just didn't want to be alive anymore the pressure cooker of palace life push make an markel to the brink of contemplating suicide in a candid interview with the queen of chat oprah winfrey meghan also accused the royals nickname the firm of spreading lies about her i don't know how they could expect that after all of this time we would still just be silent if there is an active role that the firm is playing in perpetuating falsehoods about us and when meghan was pregnant she said there were questions about her son's color macon's mother is black and her father white so we have in tandem the conversation he won't be given security it's not going to be given a title. and also concerns and conversations

about how dark his skin might be when he's born to feel really looked down but also in the spotlight prince harry's relationship with his father prince charles and what i was seeing was history repeating itself but more perhaps or definitely far more dangerous because then you add race and you add social media and there were echoes of the $995.00 t.v. tell all with prince harry's mother princess diana when she revealed details about her prince charles's marital affairs and her mental health crisis diana died in a car crash in 997 the sad thing is the royalty is diminished by. coming down into the gutter and having a public fight it benefits from keeping a distance from common argument and unfortunately neither side is going to come out of this particularly well and indeed i think we can assume fairly safely that there are faults on both sides ahead of the interview the palace launched a formal investigation into allegations make

a mark or bullied her former aides something she strongly denies the family feud has led to a frenzy of claims and counterclaims in the tabloid media and social media are separated into 2 rival camps in the u.k. united states the megane versus timana. the palace has been accused of double standards for investigating the bullying claims but not prince andrew's ties with convicted sex offender geoffrey epstein the rose meanwhile have been focusing their attention on commonwealth day celebrations with a message of unity from queen elizabeth the 94 year old monica was praised by harry and meghan as a warm and caring grandmother but the overall picture painted by the 1st black member of the royal family is an institution or quickly out of touch with modern attitudes and a hostile media bent on taking meghan down. al-jazeera london.
