plays a vital role despite our differences in the past this is the time you must direct our hands together to end the dictatorship for good. well to get more now from tony chang he joins us live from bangkok in neighboring thailand so many how much of an escalation is this call for revolution by the elected government of myanmar. hard to tell at this stage we've seen the c.r.p. age but basically the energy of the national league for democracy is sort of slowly getting to grips with what's going on many of its members are in hiding we've seen the police and military sending out squads at night trying to round them up so the they're in hiding communications are pretty difficult we understand but this was a very clear statement broadcast on social media late on saturday evening and there was no doubt that. the former vice president was calling for people to come

together particularly the ethnic armed groups while we've seen the protesters on the streets going out defying the brutality century being shown by the security services they haven't really fought back they've been using bricks fireworks in some cases and petrol bombs but i think this was a message which was sent to the ethnic groups which are found in the borderlands around me and maher who have been in conflict with me a man's military for decades a little while ago we spoke to a member of the k n u the korean national union about how that was going to be received there and he agreed that you know there was enormous frustration and sadness by people in all groups watching the level of death being seen on the streets and the something needed to be done but he did have some reservations he said that there is a certain amount of distrust about the n.l. the particularly in the ethnic groups who feel they betrayed them since myanmar

turned towards democracy and who felt that the energy had placated the army far too much since going into partnership with them in 2015 that said i think it would be a big problem for the military if these disparate groups were to find some kind of unity and start working against them we've seen in some areas they've been protecting protesters. as yet there haven't been any clashes but if there is now some unity being forged it will be a very big obstacle for the burmese army to overcome and tory want to france which you see any of this is is likely to me because as for coming on air hearing is that more protesters are still being killed out there indeed and it's a really a daily story that. just doesn't stop it's relentless on saturday we saw large numbers of fake talent is even more injuries in mandalay and yet the smalling

they came out of the crack of dawn on to the streets we've had fatalities in bugaboo in. central myanmar up in the north in kitchens states we've heard in the last couple of hours to morph 8 ounces in township in yangon where apparently a chinese factory is now on fire in gulf in the whole area in smoke and i think this is the real concern for so many people outside myanmar watching as this is the whole country appears to descend into chaos particularly inside many people i think who watch the queue unfold are really concerned the nighttime they are seeing this groups of security services this the soldiers the police going around indiscriminately firing flash grenades live weapons in some cases into houses grabbing people off the streets some of whom appear to be on target hit

lists others appear to be picking being picked up by random. and i think this is a situation which is clearly spiraling out of control if it was the military's intention for a quick and easy coup well it's certainly not working out the stage kate tony chang reporting live from bangkok for ny thank you tony. now a british iranian woman detained in iran since $2816.00 has appeared in courts once again as an ins a growing radcliffe is facing a new charge of propaganda against the system the she was released from detention just one week ago after serving 5 years in prison for a separate conviction human rights charity has written to the u.k. government saying zakaria ratcliffe needs urgent treatments for her mental health a police investigation and so the wife of syria's president is under way in britain . accused of inciting and encouraging terrorist acts during

sharon's involvement and incitement i mean current commit. terrorism in syria. some of which is what we would call convention offenses and so these are events is that involve the use of chemical weapons so when she is effectively inside. the senator doing is having insights is. to have resulted in death in syria meeting with troops making public statements glorifying the conduct of the army that has resulted in a 1000000 deaths and use of chemical or no forms of weapons and so you know it's not just that she is the life of the. president she has actively our allegations are she has actively campaigned actively participated kink in those crimes and says she must face justice for that it's once the investigation reads

reach the certain stage as soon as she has something fresh recruits obviously expects that great cooperation from the syrian regime of course requests can be made for exhibition request can be made through 3 you can read next system well that's the end of the main says that she will be unable to in syria and she will effectively determine. we know that she is campaigning to assume this what leadership she sees a future i suppose it will be so it is not insignificant now goes well what could result is the string of presidents or even though we are close we don't want that to happen we want to face trial. it was 10 years ago on monday when protests began in syria that would descend into civil war when 13000000 people are either displaced within the country or are sheltering abroad many are in camps in lebanon is bekaa valley from where as in a quarter reports. in the midst of war

other country and this is a very low number considering. despite the battlefield being largely quiet for a year aid agencies say the daily suffering of syrians is worse than it has been at nearly any point throughout the conflict and the hardship has not stopped at syria's borders that. our life has been reduced to this in syria they waiting for a box of aid and here we are waiting for our box of aid we lost hope of going back . for those who have already lost so much it may be a long wait for political change in damascus or for humanitarian conditions to improve to allow them to return home. because valley eastern lebanon. plenty more still to come on this news hour including bolivia's former interim president is a racist it's an it's allegations of a heading. she says she's facing political persecution. meets markets and

polynesia nicola gage reports. france carried out its 1st nuclear test in algeria in 1960. 6 years later the operation moved to the south pacific 193 tests took place in french polynesia over 3 decades up until 1990 seeks a new study claims france has concealed its true impact. reach a certain. history in terms of. researches along with the french news sites disclosed used a classified military documents and testimonies to recreate the impact of a number of the tests calculating around 110000 people in the overseas territory including into haiti were contaminated almost the entire population there is

a compensation making this a level that's not very good at that pressure will continue with the french government to live in a. way that at some point during that testing period and to allow greater access to compensation. the tests have been controversial since they began sparking violent protests in french polynesia and a $985.00 french secret agents attacked an environmental activist ship on its way to the region sinking it in new zealand there are calls for france to fund a study into potential intergenerational illnesses the environmental impact and for it to formally apologize if elected. suddenly. so that the people. who. this is not something that it's over and i'm happy that the

international community start to really understand our store fronts has previously short french polynesians of its continued financial support following a doctor chapter in the region's history nicholas cage al-jazeera well for more on this we're joined by mark pheno he's a former french diplomat who's currently the heads of arms proliferation at the geneva center for security policy it's good to have you with us on the new sarsour just 1st of all which is so that france accept responsibility for the fact that people in french polynesia brooks pools to radiation after those nuclear tests. yes of course there were some recognition which came late. a little late to. compensation well it took her. over 10 years after younger new testing before this party to come into place

and i know of course when you look at not periods in the 19 sixty's you can steal a combination. of transparency horror and the same time. and talent to justify into great explain what you suppose you know without any negative consequences but the government was forced under pressure from journalists n.g.o.s civil society terry and of course to reveal more and more facts new your reality about what happened and this may just nest occasion was the result of declassifying number. until their secret documents but a minister of the trans but it's serious the french government really have to be dragged kicking and screaming to recognizing the effects of this nuclear testing i

mean there have been very few cases of compensation. paid dates to those affected why do you think it's been so difficult for people to get compensation for this radiation poisoning. yes of course the government tried to restrict its. criteria for existing common station so you know rated the number of diseases directly related to rotation but this is a very restrictive nuisance it required people to mean across each measure exposure to radiation of course this was impossible for most people who think you have any equipment apart from the military and also they need. you to provide evidence of good correlation or relationship between testing and

so sometimes this is very difficult to cool freshly because these are sometimes long term disease that many years after the actual exposure why is it why would you say it's so difficult for. let me try praises another way because it seems that france is make it extremely difficult for people to make these compensation claims that putting these hurdles and roadblocks up do you think it's because they're worried about how much it will cost to take responsibility for for the tests that they carried so it's do they not feel that they should have to pay out as much money as people have been affected by their state. of course does this lead him in a major role rushing through me as much as possible because of compensation but also how well if you are not ms access to compensation not only will will cause

more highly. publicized the impact on the test and that will contradict the new visual position these were not yours o. pres so so this is a sort of mixed sir mix-a crunch and again no transparency came gradually under pressure now obviously it's time for governments realize you actually got to be more open to claims by people and also. to admit that we're much. more severe than it was thought sometimes in good faith because one of the french carried on the test no dmitri especially sometimes we were surprised in some of the meeting critics and never there was a lack of transparency like a precautionary measures for populations in the military you know how i think

a lot of. 6000 me tree ball in these testing 2000 we recognize. you know we diseased so it's due to fairly high proportion so now it's time to to drink you know that more. and just one final quick thought if you were to think of that if france does act where will this have consequences for other nations thinking specifically of the united states in the testing they've done in the marshall islands. well obviously it's a general problem because trench tests you know were only 10 percent of the. more nuclear tests. carried out you know who's trying to power those tests compared to the global testing workers who like 2.6 percent but again
