what you notice here a reminder of our top stories this hour the acting leader of men was ousted civilian governments promising a revolution to overturn a military coup but he remains in hiding protesters continued to defy security forces in young ground holding a vigil for more than 80 people who've been killed since the military seized power last month and protesters in the u.s. are demanding justice for 26 year old briana taylor who was shot dead by police last year the f.b.i. says it's made significant progress in the investigation but no homicide charges being filed. senior u.k. politicians have criticised london police for breaking up a vigil for a woman whose murder has triggered widespread outrage about women safety scuffles at the event on the in the center of a dog which police have tried to council because of lockdown. former bolivian president evo morales has backed a crackdown on the opposition's saying those accused of staging
6:17 am
a coup against him should be investigated and punished but that he is former interim leader janine yes i was arrested on saturday and charged with terrorism sedition and conspiracy to devolve into them they don't win but alice fled bolivia in $2900.00 following violent protests against his reelection and his denies the charges saying she's the target of political persecution. even if it is an irregular detention because i was never summoned in addition to all that you know that as a former president i have a very particular situation but even with the abuse and the outreach and. thomas bakker is a supervisor at the university network for human rights and he was an official observer to bolivia's election last year he says it's no surprise then yours is facing such serious charges. she came to power undemocratically and within her 1st week she oversaw 2 different massacres and offered immunity to the soldiers that carried out the massacres and for the next year carried out
6:18 am
a slew of human rights abuses that are on almost unprecedented since bolivia became a democracy nearly 40 years ago so the writing was on the wall there was calls by the social movements and the victims of the abuses for justice so it certainly i don't think was a surprise nor a political move on yes has said this is politicized but this is really victims that have been seeking justice since the massacres that took place you know nearly a year and a half ago right now there are protests in places like la paz and santa cruz i think people were have already expressed they're quite upset though the majority is indigenous and. the president luis are say one with over 30 percent and the 2nd place candidate came in with almost 2530 percent less than him the minority is quite strong the conservative minority is quite strong politically and economically and i think they will hit the streets and i think there could be conflict over the coming weeks victims deserve justice and there cannot be impunity and i think bolivia suffered from actually this century the past century they've had more coups
6:19 am
than any country in the world so you really do need to address that at any moment and i think it's really important you know whether it's tomorrow whether it's in 2 months they really need to address this this pattern of coups and patterns of impunity and human rights violations so though it may destabilize thing temporarily the victims deserve justice. a medical emergency has been declared in jordan now after at least 7 people being treated for coronavirus died in hospital and their oxygen supply ran out the health minister has been sacked as the government tries a furious families. ports. and show outside assaults hospital in a one hour cut to vital oxygen supplies has been blamed on the deaths of patients.

6:24 am
capacity we start losing patients that we could actually sing and one of the system is under a call out over 100 percent capacity so patients are being taken in and being. put into beds that are not fully prepped to take care of them what actually happens is we are turning away trauma victims people who suffer heart attacks and people who could otherwise be saved because of course it's just a single health system and if it is under collapse and all attention is geared towards the coronavirus we are going to see higher death toll not just by this disease but overall mortality. football fans in russia have been offered a free shot at a match in simply to spark but not of gold those attending the premier league clash between senate and act like grossly or offered a free sputnik v vaccine against call the 19th as widespread skepticism about the domestically produced vaccine and take up has been slow. the u.s.
