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 are the guardians democracy movement. 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 her young like they continue to shoot at protesters and bully the people i think all ethnic groups would not just stand by and do nothing but its civilians who now face the military's wrath 7 year old bone man he was shot in the head inside his

12:07 am
deaths escalate since february 1st what do you hope that the international community is going to do because seeing that russia and china for example were present today in myanmar with the military it seems unlikely that the security council will be able to act so what else would you hope members of the international community will do what do we need more to shoot if you than these military to the reverse are there already is organization. therefore all international community we appealed to them. the member of middle age in the rose to be the same they did as for a terrorist organizations labeled as stories of innocent because 'd they have been killing the enormous than people of myanmar. they have not only done this
12:08 am
time they have killed powers of our brothers sisters the 2017 there kill so many put his mug into the servant and if it kills so many students in 199-7988 so what do we need to prove that these people are their race organizations and so far it's been a peaceful protest the civil disobedience movement that as it's called that as we are continuing to see the number of deaths rise you think that that should change do you think that perhaps opposition to the military should no longer be peaceful in myanmar if international community failed on the people of myanmar if there's no actions only words i'm afraid my country will have to go through the code does see if you will that we have
12:09 am
never seen before that it's almost impossible to imagine that the blood in days and months ahead this where we have to be a pyrrhic to international community to punish this is general as military to the us who are not become the result of nation as soon as possible before my country call ups completely. for decades your former leader and son sue chee was a symbol certainly in the west of the potential democracy in myanmar and then you know after it eventually happened as well she did not condemn the things that happened to the rohingya in me and i do think that that i mean that did cost her a lot of sympathy within the international community do you think that that's having an impact in the reaction from the international community now
12:10 am
duly our leader also switches administrations we should offer. the military to the rose this powerful man who smoked the guards 5 of the top 10 companies are from military and others and they have reserve themselves to do 5 percent of the seats in parliament and that means that we cannot change any law that they have made and created for themselves so 'd it's a very difficult in his shoes to maneuver in a common dealerships but we have reason and i mean this would be the explanations of why she acted the way she did i'm just wondering whether you think that that is having an impact the lack of perhaps the lack of sympathy that some in the international community feel for towards her whether that might be having an impact in the response or lack thereof to what's happening right now if some
12:11 am
liberal i agree 'd but i do also think the international community failed to understand how did it or was this a mans now we are calling as the terrorist organizations so it's a very important to focus of focus on decent military chelators a lot of our leader to our city. dr sessa speaking to me a little earlier will mean really at least 2 people were reportedly killed when myanmar army fighter jets launched airstrikes on a village near the thai border a further 2 people are said to have been injured during the attack which happened in the district which is controlled by the on the cameron ethnic group earlier the carin international union said it killed 10 soldiers after overrunning an army base coming up on al jazeera this news hour stuck in the suez

12:13 am
to countries around the world 60000000 doses have gone to 76 countries as part of aid and commercial agreements but india recorded its highest number of coronavirus cases in 5 months this week and the government says it must now prioritize local supply the director general of the world health organization says that's understandable but it's important and the a continues to export vaccines we're already in discussion to keep a balance so that they can use locally but i've the same time continue to provide. other countries vaccines from the scene and in the studio of india. the serum institute of india which is making the oxford astra zeneca vaccine is the world's largest manufacturer and the biggest contributor to the u.n. fact that for mine india's decision to produce exports is already being felt
12:14 am
overseas more medium as you kish we go and buy that scenes from a country pay for it part of the shipment arrives in the country and want to 2nd plane flies there their attorney general blocks the shipment these are unpredictable things that we think's botched they will be some relief in india itself health workers in maharashtra the worst affected and 2nd most populous state struggling to deal with the highest number of cases since the pandemic began. when they were no beds available for them here there's also a shortage of resident doctors even the resident doctors who are available overloaded with work and getting enough corn there's also a shortage of supplies from the administration to an extent that is being resolved but it's not fast enough because the number of patients is so hard as cases rise the government has faced criticism that it's export it more doses than for the 58000000 of its own citizens who have so far been inoculated the government is
12:15 am
running behind its own should you look back so they sent 300000000 people but all this is to address that is expanding the criteria was eligible for vaccine as a plan for a lot it's an occupation dr elizabeth cohen of al-jazeera new delhi. allez there brazil and u.k. variants of covert 19 tighten their grip on latin america chile as government is considering postponing an election for the 11th of april that was supposed to select the members that would draft a new constitution in santiago infections of now risen 57 percent in just 2 weeks despite having the world's fastest vaccination program. meanwhile brazil makes up a quarter of global daily coronavirus that's it's expected its daily death toll could soon reach 4000 argentina has banned the travel to and from chile brazil and mexico let's go live now to daniel in buenos aires so tell us
12:16 am
a little bit more about the measures being introduced in argentina. well barbara i think the government here in argentina fills our blige in many ways to enforce these measures because as we've just been hearing with the news from india that the kovacs scheme is not releasing as many vaccines as many countries would like they're arriving in dribs and drabs here in latin america people apart from with the exception of chile most countries have not been not vaccinated more than one or 2 percent of their population that's certainly the case here in argentina 6 percent of their 1st vaccine less than 2 percent of the population of 44000000 have had their 2nd vaccine so as they look across the border here from argentina into places like brazil they see the infection rates rising especially with people infected with this extra infectious p one p 2 variant they feel they have no other options but to apply these measures restricting travel they've done
12:17 am
mexico chile and brazil because they see these as the worst hit countries but we've still got a serious situation in peru for instance where a 1000000 and a half people have been infected so those measures have come into place no flights true or from those 3 countries for now there's already a ban on flights to and from the u.k. which has been in place for some must some weeks simply to stop those variances extra virulent variants coming in to argentina it's been hit hard 255000 dead 2200000 people infected but the government feels it has more or less contained the virus the hospitals are not being overrun so those measures remain in place and saw they can really get a handle on the situation and bring more vaccines in. and then you mentioned brazil there are people now calling for an urgent nationwide strategy in that country a country that is seeing a real jump in infections and deaths as well because the whole approach to it has
12:18 am
been quite strange and a bit divided between the president and other heads of some other areas of brazil that would like to see stricter measures in place. yeah i mean very much our own right from the beginning of the pandemic there have been calls in brazil for a federal approach or you know a national approach to fighting the pandemic but president job also now at all has never seemed to take it seriously called the $1000.00 virus nothing worse than a little flu right at the beginning of the pandemic and he we now have a situation in which some states notably the states of cell power which has a population of over $40000000.00 bigger than many countries the governor there shell doria negotiating independently with the producers of vaccines doing a deal with an institute in brazil hoping to produce its own nationally produced
12:19 am
vaccine in opposition to the president who is urging people to go back to work for instance when the mayor of the city of rio de janeiro put a ban on people going to the beaches to try to control the spread of the virus president also now to urge people to go to the beat then they should be soaking up the victim in the fight to divide us so you have this war of words you have a legal disputes on both sides a very difficult situation but increasing numbers of people protesting against the president also naro but he also has many tens of thousands millions perhaps of followers who are out there supporting his measures protesting against efforts to try to contain the virus asking people to stay indoors so a very difficult situation there as the numbers continue to rise 313000000 people infected 303-732-7000 people dead so that is a very difficult situation and some of the worst figures in the world coming out of
12:20 am
brazil then in charlotte with the latest from well as it is thank you. meanwhile the philippines is again tightening restrictions as hospitals in manila struggle to cope with a rising number of coronavirus infections the measures which include a ban on non-essential travel mass gatherings and restaurants dining will last for a weekend will affect 24000000 people living in the capital and nearby provinces more than 1000 new cases have been reported in the past 2 days china and iran have signed the landmark 25 year cooperation agreement in a challenge to the bind in the ministration the deal which has been in the works since 2016 was signed by the chinese foreign minister and his it rainin counterpart china is expected to invest in key sectors of iran's economy as part of the deal including energy and infrastructure the pact is tehran's 1st with
12:21 am
a major world power as a bagel has more now from the uranium capital tehran. 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 at a time where china has reportedly stepped up its purchase of 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 a veto but this deal does have some does have some critics inside the country even
12:22 am
though it's been backed by the highest authority the supreme leader ayatollah khomeini 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 government here 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. central american migrants return to mexico by the u.s. government have expressed their devastation at the order president joe biden has sought to stop the protégé sions of immigrants already in the country and doing one of donald trump's policies but a report found the biden is turning migrants back under another rule introduced by
12:23 am
trump known as title $42.00 that was introduced a year ago to prevent the spread of covert 19 by grants of the mexican border city of sure that what is say the open door they were promised became revolving one. what is this is a plan. he's supposed to have said that he's going to help all the immigrants we really are as i say in a shelter we hurry up and we have faith in god and hope that our words will be heard by a president that allowed us and. i knew it can be done i know that joe bugner president was able to do it you know i'm saying come those of you who are suffering . and border towns in colombia say they're running out of space to cope with the thousands of refugees who continue to flee fighting in neighboring venezuela about 5000 people have crossed the river border in the past 6 days venezuela's military launched an air and ground offensive against on rebel groups in

12:30 am
coronavirus vaccines to developing countries through the u.n. backed kovacs program could be pushed back by several weeks because of the slowdown of exports from a major indian producer the indian government has told international buyers it will now have to keep more of a any available doses up to a rise in new infections and china and iran have signed the landmark 25 year cooperation agreement in a challenge to the by the administration the deal which has been in the works since 2016 was signed by the chinese foreign minister one year and his it rainin counterpart. china is expected to invest in key sectors of iran's economy as part of the dealing energy and infrastructure the pact is tehran's 1st with a major world power. people across the united states have been protesting against the recent rise in acts of violence against asian americans.
12:31 am
voted on by. democratic vents took place in 60 cities across the u.s. including new york there's been a sharp rise in violence and discrimination against people of asian descent since the start of the kobe $1000.00 pandemic with many blamed on china concern in the asian community increased after 6 women of asian descent will show that in atlanta georgia this month's. castro was one of event in washington d.c. . it was a pretty good turnout a few 100 people fewer than there were here last weekend but the activists here said that they were in a keep up the pressure because even as the victims of those georgia shootings 6 of whom were asian american women even as they are being laid to rest this weekend the number of attacks on asian americans across the country continue to grow these are attacks have been captured on surveillance cameras in various cities older people
12:32 am
being pushed to the ground unprovoked stabbings people being slashed in the face and of course the racial slurs and comments that many in the asian american community have grown accustomed to and they said that this is simply cast to stop that it's been enough the group stop a.p.i. hate has accumulated reports of more than 3800 incidents of hate against asian americans just in this past year and its founders say that very much to blame is former president donald trump and his rhetoric blaming the coded pandemic on china using racial slurs to describe the virus and that's why the activists were out here today also in new york city and los angeles many other places in 60 cities all together. there and what they're calling a day of action to protect asian americans and manatees attacks against them. well joining us now by skype from los angeles is marina and lee she is the co-founder of
12:33 am
the asians do matter organization i'm really thank you so much for joining us here on al-jazeera we were just hearing from our correspondent there she was one of those demonstrations in washington d.c. there have been dozens across the united states do you think it's time for things like that and what impact do you think those kinds of them stray sions and the heightened awareness i guess of the past few weeks will have on the issue thank you so much barbara for having me. believe protests and rallies are vigils. across 60 cities have been just so. quite. big support. have come together and in multicultural support gets as much needed la times we as community tend to not speak out
12:34 am
so it's very kerching for them to come and support. you know what happened recently i guess the catalyst for a lot of this attention was the awful murder of those 6 women in that plan to women of asian descent and of course a lot of people saying that with donald trump in the last the year is you know calling coke over for example the china virus made things worse i mean do you see it is that do you think that the past year since cove it heightened the kind of discrimination that asian americans often get or do you think it was always there perhaps the focus just wasn't on it. i believe it was always there. yes. the danger and the murders murders because now it's. meditative because you know that you cannot push someone elderly down on the ground and that's a huge potential that the elderly could die or be seriously injured and so is
12:35 am
pretty meditate at this point so it's very high at this time and thank you for media for covering it because a lot of times these things are not. shown if that makes sense why do you why i mean if you say that i guess the media that in general incidents like that were a show and or talked about especially considering that again in the past few months we had the black lives matter movement which heightened attention on racism in general so why do you think that perhaps hatred against asian americans sort of went down to the the radar if you think that that's a correct assessment. yes 1st off. the data is not quite there thanks to. stop by hate groups that have collected you know self reported data of 300 instances or else if you
12:36 am
look at any of the f.b.i. reports and so forth it's a very low percentage. but. it's. always been there racism has always been there and you're quite right and thank you for bringing up the black lives matter because that just happened and you would think that you know most everyone would say oh this is hate it's hate it's not just hate against one particular nationality you know racism is just pure hate in is not acceptable so thank you for linking that because at the time the media have this narrow definition of these hate crimes being just you know happening during cold. pandemic but that's this ultimately is racism and we have to discuss it such so thank you for that it in fairness is not just the media there
12:37 am
are people in you know and in some there's there's a big discussion is well over those things in atlanta you know that it's not necessarily i hate crime how do you i suppose suggest that it is to the people who doubt it. you have. up in oakland and san francisco you have to gays are not prosecuting certain cases even in new york i think. they're not labeling asian hate crime because it's hard to look into someone's mind and say this is you know why it happened so it's hard to prosecute but. i believe congresswoman from new york and senator from hawaii have pushed out a bill stating that we should no matter if we can prosecute or not to actually label as such so that we would have the data so we would be able to do something
12:38 am
about it marina and lee founder or co-founder of the asians do matter organization speaking to us from los angeles madame think you think you are several 1000 women in the turkish capital have protested against the withdrawal from a landmark treaty protecting women from violence turkey was the 1st country in 2011 to sign the council of europe accord which is backed by 45 nations officials from president party had called for it to be reviewed arguing that it clashed with turkey's conservative values they also say it promotes homosexuality because it doesn't discriminate against people on grounds of sexual orientation. new attempts are being made to move the ship that's been blocking the suez canal in egypt for the past 5 days the dutch salvage for more came to free the ever a given says it could be successful by the start of next week the stern of the
12:39 am
vessel is now free and they're hoping that higher tides and the arrival of 2 more tug boats on sunday will help their operation the 400 meter long container ship ran aground on tuesday close to the south end of the can now after the crew lost visibility during a sandstorm well $321.00 ships are now blocked on either side of the canal because of this and this is having a flow on effect on the global economy or oil prices jumped 4 percent on friday both west texas intermediate crude futures and brant crude prices $1740000.00 barrels or about 5 percent of all shipped last year went through the canal the suez canal handles about 12 percent of global trade and lloyd's list says that each day of blockage disrupts more than $9600000000.00 worth of goods that's about $400000000.00 every hour well the traffic jam at both ends of the canal is forcing
12:40 am
shipping companies to consider taking the longer route around south africa's cape of good hope this adds about 10000 kilometers about 12 days to the journey and could cost an extra $300000.00 in fuel the investigation into the incident meanwhile is continuing. it could have been a technical or human ever that will be revealed through the investigation many different mistakes might be the reason but we cannot prove anything yet the only clear reason is that there was strong winds under some storm but they might not be the only reasons and you'll this will be revealed during the investigation you know 2 of the world's largest local elections have begun in north east india in what's seen as a significant test for the prime minister and their on their modi and his hindu nationalist b.g.p. party b j p has been campaigning hard for its 1st victory in the state of west bengal
12:41 am
which has a population of more than 90000000 people voting has also begun in assam home to more than 30000000 bodies popularity has been hit by months of protests by farmers and of course the effects of the pan am one of barcelona's top music venues will hold a concert for 5000 people in a covert 19 experiment they want to see how well they can prevent the virus from spreading at large events people's people must present a negative covert test taken that day and wear face masks a similar event was held in december. now earlier we discussed the experiment with. a senior lecturer in global health advisor at the university college london school of pharmacy. i think this is actually really important to better understand how economies that you have high rates of vaccination shouldn't flirt with any. confined space so this type of experience is not the 1st we've seen
12:42 am
similar again back in december we had the experience again barcelona with 500 people there 5000 and equally also in berlin and germany and this is all going to be critical in terms of understanding exactly how we can provide interventions that keep people safe jury and pandemic when we narrow of course the rest of the world is lacking access to vaccines so in one sense this is a plan forward is a way to ensure that economies can recover in the short term but we also need to keep one eye about everything outside of our own borders and i don't think that countries within europe or u.k. are he not sufficient. the indonesian island of bali has been a cultural hub for centuries with galleries and museums displaying the work of
12:43 am
traditional artists but the pandemic has forced many to close their doors some artists found ways to keep selling their work but many say they're struggling to get by jessica washington reports from jakarta on the island of bali in the village a 5 to one fly and not through has been making and selling mosques for more than 50 years they used it for traditional dances and are often sold a souvenir to. yes but with a closed to foreign tourists because of the pandemic he struggled to find customers what it got why young. there are 300 or 4 families in this village 95 percent of us are masks craftsman because of covert all sales were canceled. some artists in the village have turned to other jobs but that's not an option for everyone so you know that when the going to be something i'm only i cannot do
12:44 am
anything else i can't talk of course structured site i don't have the strength. since indonesia shut its borders he earns 30 dollars each month from sales nearby and other experienced artist works in his studio he could do it soucie is one of a group of artists who created this style of painting. i'm a guy and i paint to maintain balinese culture i want to show people overseas about bali the island the harvesting paddy fields cultivating the land cows ducks flowing water this is bali his granddaughter set up an instagram page to help sell his paintings online although he's forced to sell at a cheaper price he says he's fortunate. that. these days many people are stop painting entirely because it's so hard to sell their work gallery owners are also feeling the impact with almost no walk in
12:45 am
