violence coincided with this military parade in the capital on the annual armed forces day that's where the leader of the ruling gentile pledged to safeguard democracy or the u.s. a new and u.k. embassies have all condemned me or mars military for what they describe as the murder of civilians just a warning here may find some images in tony chang's report disturbing. oh man oh. the inconsolable cry of a father his dead son in his arms the 13 year old boy was shot at his home in central myanmar as the security forces moved in. and muslim just city yangon looked and sounded like a battle zone the soldiers and police roam the streets burning barricades firing stun grenades and live rounds. and pain everyday lives

and these like these are not the same these are engineers he said these are these a community leaders and he's a student this wounded man was dragged visibly bleeding into the road rather than help provide 1st aid the soldiers beat him as he laid in a pool of his own blood. in the southern city of daraa way these 3 men on a motorcycle or shot at random as they passed police trucks to manage to get to their feet and flee a 3rd wounded trapped beneath his bike. and those wounded or killed dragged away unceremoniously to be bundled into army trucks. all of this on a day meant to celebrate myanmar's armed forces but celebrate they did outside the capital naypyidaw on an enormous parade ground and or inspiring display of military hardware and might the gentle leader in his address avoided the fact these soldiers

are now fighting their own people and reinforced his statement that members of the army of the guardians democracy. the armed forces unavoidably assume the state responsibility by lawful means due to the unlawful acts of the n l d led government in the 2020 election after the accomplishment of the state of emergency provision a free and fair election will be rerun and the handover of state responsibility will be continued while the military has faced little opposition so far manned mars armed ethnic groups have been threatening to intervene if the violence continues how. they continue to shoot at protesters and bully the people i think all ethnic groups would not just stand by and do nothing. but it's civilians who now face the military's role 7 year old. was shot in the head inside his home in mandalay don't worry everything will be ok but don't sleep say his parents as they try to

treat his. children and now facing the pull might the military machine tony ching. all the violence has sparked a global wave of condemnation led by the united nations would said it was horrified by the needless loss of life today with reports of dozens of people shot dead by the military in the bloodiest days since the coup and then the u.s. followed with this statement security forces are murdering unarmed civilians including children the very people they swore to protect these are not the actions of a professional military or police force but some countries have shown their support for the john top 8 nations including china and russia has sent representatives to saturday's military parade and has addressed me in mars' top commander described moscow as a true friend it is a guide and i would like to express my profound gratitude to the high level delegation from the russian armed forces for the pleasure of their company at this

military parade and i would also like to say that the russian government and the russian armed forces are acknowledged for this substantial support to 1000000 miles armed forces in a friendly manner even though we are far apart let's discuss me and more with ellen maria kids has an anthropologist and a senior researcher at the danish institute for international studies focusing on justice on security and mean m r she's joining us from copenhagen again thanks for your time when you see the scenes coming out of me in mar and you see the army has gone ahead with this annual parade what do you think the message is that the sending out. well everybody's been been fearing what would happen today on the armed forces day whether they would use this opportunity to to show increasing my and that they control that they have the power and the institutional might to do so despite the mess of process that we have seen it's clear now from the mess of opposition in the

population that the political strategy that the military had in the beginning has failed strikes by the civil disobedience movement has paralyzed lots of the economy in the civil service and lots and lots of people across ethnic religious and other divides have come together against the military so it seems now that they are using today to show well we're strong and we can control control the nation but this idea that they could hold elections and get legitimacy in the population seems increasingly to be lost what do you think the protest movement goes to next. i think it's extremely difficult to say because it's dangerous to go on the streets and so far we've seen people being come in credibly resilient we have especially seen among the young people say we would rather die than live under democracy so i think there's still a lot of energy there's still

a lot of push to mobilize and organize but at the same time we're also seeing people leaving the cities people who are not a ritually from big cities like going back to their rule areas we also see more and more people moving into the border areas that is the border areas for some of the ethnic groups that we mentioned before have nominal control have sort of parallel states and have had so for the kates we have seen people also i mean because it is getting increasingly dangerous at the same time at the political level we're also seeing people joining forces the ethnic armed organizations the ethnic political parties to use we have the parliament c.r.p. 8 of the and indeed that is also reaching out to groups so we have seen people come together it's clear that the clean feel and space for doing something is increasingly very very small as the looters not showing sort of any ways that they will give in to what has been going on and the fear of course now is that we'll be

seeing either on the one hand some form of civil war between the ethnic armed organizations and the military and we don't know if that's going to happen on the other hand we might seem creasing these kind of self-governing sones and the border areas going on it's really difficult to predict what will happen over the next weeks when you see russian officials attending the annual military parade as well as officials from china given the backing of these 2 countries does that make it more difficult for the rest of the international community to continue to pressure of the of the military in myanmar to back down. i think it's the international pressure is obviously incredibly important and we have seen russia and china also showing concerns for what's going on we know that china is not interested in the kinds of instability we're seeing because they have large

economic interests in myanmar as well russia for me is much more difficult to see it's clear that any actions from the un security council is very very difficult without the backing from russia and china but why they have attended the armed forces day to day is difficult for me to say but it's also showing that they might be looking and waiting to see what happens if the military remains in power they would like to support who remains in power but but at least for the in the case of china and also the other neighboring countries in arson they are not interested in seeing increased instability so there might and we can hope that there will be negotiations going on behind the scenes what we're not seeing with the military and hopefully also there will be people within the military or top ranks themselves you can see that the road that the military is ticking now is going to erode any kind of legitimacy that the institution had he claims that they

have to safeguard the nation heard even the general commander in chief again reiterating that he wants to protect democracy in your life if they want any kind of this institutional legitimacy to survive beyond today. if they have to change their strategy they can't continue to computer in this way and we can hope that the neighboring countries will also see this and find ways to back. a different route ok thank you so much for speaking to us from copenhagen thank you. now iran and china have signed a 25 year cooperation pact the chinese foreign minister wang years into iran meeting the iranian foreign minister javad zarif and president hassan rouhani the deal is said to have political economic and strategic components iran's economy has suffered under u.s. sanctions after washington withdrew from the 2015 nuclear agreement which china remains apart as a big has more from the iranian capital. increasingly iran has been turning to

russia and china especially since the former us president donald trump imposed sanctions on iran sanctions are still in place today but this visit does come a time where china has reportedly stepped up its purchase of in direct oil sales for from iran and also this is the highest chinese official that's visited iran since the election of president joe biden in january so both politically and economically iran has been turning to russia and china and back last year in october when the united states and the president donald trump was planning to put forth a motion to the united nations to stop an arms embargo being lifted the foreign ministry here told us that their understanding was and that they were confident that russia and china would intervene with the veto but this deal does have some does have some critics inside the country even though it's been backed by the highest authority the supreme leader ayatollah ali khamenei now the former

president mahmoud ahmadinejad said that the details of this deal have not been made available to the public and the squid not be really passed by parliament but there were also rumors that iran would be handing over control of some of its islands to china and. have denied that this is that there's nothing inside the deal that gives any country control of islands or chinese military forces presence in the country but it does have widespread political support inside this country and it's a way for iran to be independent and build a country in an economy that is. sanctions resilient well china and iran's relations with the united states are at an all time low there were tense moments last week in alaska when chinese and u.s. officials exchanged sharp rebuke steering their 1st meeting since joe biden came to office and iran is hardening its stance towards the u.s. and the european signatories of the 2050 nuclear accord it once u.s. sanctions which have devastated its economy removed before it holds talks to revive

the agreement the 25 year deal with beijing is the 1st such long term agreement for its iran and it comes ahead of polls in june to pick a successor to president hassan rouhani to add a me who is the director of the china policy center which is an australian based think tank he's joining us from germany thanks for your time with us on al-jazeera this agreement was in fact proposed back in 2016 by china why do you think it's gone ahead now. well there's beijing internal have a number of reasons for wanting to still given the current international environment it's taken 7 years to get this deal done 1st chip politically both countries are looking for partners to work with both on the fair bit of pressure from the united states as we know china's relation with the u.s. is to terrorise significantly in recent years should teach a competition has escalated and president biden is rarely u.s. allies and partners in an effort to call a policy against china so better relations between china and us is not on the horizon in fact competitions like to to deepen and for iran of course has also been

on a significant lead going to come that pressure from the u.s. and others especially on to trump initiation so if it both are looking for partners to strengthen the hand and void diplomatic and should isolation right at him in the final both countries the china and iran are subject to u.s. sanctions and also of course iran's nuclear program or the nuclear core remains unresolved do you foresee any challenges in the actual implementation of a projects when it comes to this agreement i mean the details projects like investments and feels like banking telecommunications ports row is. yes so i mean it's still too early to say given that we have a very very basic outline of the agreement but from an economic perspective and technological perspective it also makes sense for beijing and tear on so beijing is looking for ways to increase trade with non-western countries make foreign

investment as part of its belt and own initiative and importantly secure its energy resources and sea lanes of trade and energy supply. so for iran trade with china investment from chinese companies and importantly the expertise and technology that china can bring to its collaboration with iran a pretty big you sentence and these incentives have been amplified because of the sanctions and how much leverage of course china is still part of that nuclear accord does this deal give china any leverage at all when it comes to moving forward negotiations with the united states on iran's nuclear deal ishall i mean i think it does give both beijing and iran leverage in the sense that the latest deal has lessened chill to go pressure on both countries from the united states from pushing his perspective that it's something that needs to worry about and has very little prospect that in washington this would be seeing as a positive development especially given that china china the addition of joining

closer to iran has also been showing closer to russia as was solely to speak well and to how much does this or does it in fact undercut american efforts to keep iran isolated and what do you think the u.s. reaction is to these 2 allies coming together in this way. i don't think that's that's perhaps precisely the point for both tehran beijing you know why obama cutting. the depression out that u.s. is bringing to bear on both countries in attempt to isolate both countries across a range of defense areas and i think that's going to that's going to improve their leverage and geostrategic position visibly the united states 70 ok thank you so much to me 1st speaking to us from germany great thanks for having me. once more head on the al-jazeera news hour including this anger and arrests in the u.s.

that is the policy to reject and deport migrant families. there's also another non official policy that seems to be complicating the efforts of asylum seekers. people is from honduras and says that she and her 4 year old son crossed into the united states through the texas border 3 days ago but was deported to the juana more than 2000 kilometers from where she was detained you know how that on that they. they capture migrants in texas and send them the california and then to t. juana they check migrants into getting on a plane saying they will be sent back to their families but it's a lie they bring you here instead of demanding that experts warn that it's not only u.s. policies that are hurting migrants and refugees in response to pressure from the u.s. mexico has deployed nearly 9000 national guard troop. to stem the flow of migrants heading north mexico also recently closed its southern border with water mala to all non-essential travel human rights observers say that while the u.s.
