indeed we've seen protesters coming out on the streets again since the early morning in fact since the crack of dawn and mandalay where there was a brutal crackdown yesterday at least 6 protesters killed many more wounded we saw images of people literally stepped up on the street with wounds from bullets from brother bullets that were being fired by the security services in and yet they've come out again today in mandalay the security forces appear to have stepped back but as you mentioned earlier today one man was shot dead as the security forces moved in up in the north think a chin state in. another faith talent here and we understand in the last couple of hours in plunk township in yangon in the west of yangon 2 more protesters were shot dead a security forces crackdown in that area we understand is now shrouded in smoke his

security services moved in and set fire to the barricades the protesters had put to try and slow them down as they pushed them out of the area and that's i think part of the new tactics that we're seeing from the protest is they realize there's very little they can do in the face of these live fire and bullets that are coming in so they're trying to put up obstructions to stop the sniper fire they're using smoke from fire extinguishers to try and stop the view of the snipers and the other weapons that are coming in to give themselves some chance to escape and that statement by the acting leader of the ousted civilian government is. likely to. cause for a revolution. well at this stage it's very hard to tell this c.r. pitchers of which is effectively the civilian government which is now gone into hiding. taken some time together we understand that the n l
