their licenses. meanwhile malaysia's high court has allowed rights groups to challenge the deportation of me and myles nationals over a 1000 were sent back to me in february including asylum seekers although they're unlikely to be returned to malaysia we could be looking at a precedent here for of the cases in the future scott had that with more on both of those stories let's start with that line out of malaysia from the high court's i mean a big win for the rights groups and the people being deported or potentially being deported it is definitely not what we're looking at you know 1086 people were deported back on february 23rd and what the case today was was that amnesty international another human rights group wanted to challenge the move by immigration department to deport those people last month they were granted that by the high court now court today on tuesday what we're going to

see next is in 2 weeks time will be another hearing looking into the process that allowed these people to be deported i say aloud because there was a lower court decision to prevent that to stop that from happening back in february 23rd but it happened anyway take us through then scott what has been happening through the nights in may and now we saw some pictures there we hear about these 200 protesters who were effectively rounded up and locked off from everyone else. you know what happened yesterday monday was a big protest day again right across myanmar and as you mentioned 3 people died during the day at night in yangon in a neighborhood central neighborhood of yangon police and security forces kind of corralled about $200.00 young protesters after their day of protesting and said that they were going to arrest. them because they you know all the protests are

technically illegal on the streets across myanmar so they said they were going to arrest them and they surrounded them that's when as you mentioned there was a lot of international concern expressed by the united nations by the united states other nations that what would happen the day they need free passage to leave it didn't happen until the early morning hours at about 5 am that they were released but what was interesting to beyond that they said the security forces said that they're going to do a door to door search and anyone hiding protesters would also be punished so that obviously elevated this tactic that the mean m.r. security forces are deploying and that is. really just going after and trying to fight frighten anyone participating or any association with anyone participating in these protests so this intimidation campaign continues and has actually ratcheted up particularly after what we saw last night luckily most of the protesters world released early morning hours that's after the security forces kind of backed off in that area of yangon but we do know that some protesters were arrested if it

happened after that in the early morning hours or or as it was happening we just don't know right now but bottom line they have stepped up their tactic of intimidation and so it goes on with no end in science as well that's scott honda in bangkok 1st thank you scott. on to other news brazil where the former president who is in austria little silver is set for what's being described as a sensational political comeback his conviction on corruption charges has been an elder by a supreme court judge restoring his right to contest next year's presidential election looters one of the most popular figures on the left of politics in brazil and if he were to decide to run for president it would mean facing off against the far right populist. 7 7 pictures here from sao paulo as looters supporters got out on the streets to celebrate the court ruling they say it's given them hope. were both so

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 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. labor party's minority leader in the brazilian senate and told us the case against it was flimsy in the 1st place. we are very happy that i

a few stragglers over there there were about $100.00 protesters but because it's just jury selection we are not seeing the huge amounts of people that i expect we will see during the trial and possibly after the verdict in this case so what's happened is they were supposed to begin jury selection this morning and what happened was the judge said he was going to consider as he is required to do to a recent appeals court decision whether a 3rd degree murder charge is appropriate now here's how it works in the state of minnesota 1st degree is intentional premeditated murder that is not being charged here 2nd degree murder is intentional but not premeditated and the idea in this case would be that when this police officer derrick show of and put his knee on george floyd's neck for over 9 minutes that he intended to kill him this could take one day might take a few days they might take evidence on whether this is a 3rd degree charge with the defense derek show vns lawyers they say they don't
