the 2 poets investigation people in power on al-jazeera. her i've been covering all of latin america for most of my career but no country is alike and it's my job to shed light on how and why. myanmar's military is condemned around the world after the most violent day in nearly 2 months of anti cool protests. and i'm fully back to boyer watching al-jazeera live from doha also ahead signs of movement a promise that a mega ship blocking one of the world's busiest waterways could be dislodged within days get out and enjoy your freedom and bold call from the governor of a u.s.

state where more than 30000 people have died from coronavirus. and attests case $5000.00 fans go to a spanish walk concert in an experiment on the spread of covert night. pressure is building on myanmar's military giunta as global condemnation grows over its crackdown on and tackle protesters it follows the most violent days since the army seized power nearly 2 months ago media say at least 114 people were killed military chief certainly us in the area does not have issued a red joint statement denouncing the anwar security forces to protect people not to harm them we'll get an update on the situation from tony chang very shortly

but 1st his report on saturday's events and a warning you may find some images disturbing from the outset. be inconsolable cry of a father who's dead son in his arms the 13 year old boy was shot at his home and central myanmar as the security forces moved in. 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 are these are these these are engineers these. community leaders and this is 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 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 men miles armed ethnic groups have been threatening to intervene if the violence continues her young. 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 bone man 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 tried to treat his room. children are now facing the full might of myanmar's military machine. and live not to tony chang who's across the border in bangkok monitoring events in myanmar for us so tony said day after the bloodiest crackdown

on tycho protesters what are your sources telling you about the situation right now . well memo only came back online about an hour and a half ago after the what's become a nightly shutdown of the internet. i think people still stunned by what happened yesterday there was more violence overnight in mandalay in particular a fire raged out of control people who came out of their homes put it out were fired on by the security services and in the ensuing blaze apparently between 50 and 60 houses were destroyed so you know i think people are still trying to deal with everything that happened yesterday there is still a very high security presence out on the streets we are expecting a lot of funerals for those who were killed in those might then crystallize into other forms of protest so far the security services have allowed funerals to go

ahead relatively unhindered but as we've seen their attitudes have hardened in the last couple of weeks and even days and i think generally people. crystallized their opinions too i think maybe a couple of weeks ago there was room for discussion there might have been. movement for people to encompass some kind of a state with the military involved i think now after everything they've seen people are deeply angry and frankly filled with hate for the military that is a time yeah and there's been worldwide condemnation including a statement from the defense chief says several countries including the united states well this had anything at all on the military. but indeed i think that was calculated very much to hit home with military leaders on armed forces the. military leaders from the united states japan and

places like that you know were issuing such direct condemnation. none the less we saw a gentleman long live the gentle leader out there the dinner celebrating. armed forces day and he seemed frankly full of smiles we've seen military operating in a way in which they seem to be completely disregarding international opinion there were 8 nations present yesterday of the armed forces parade most importantly china and thailand who are think of 2 countries that have real influence on myanmar and the russian ministerial level delegation and i think the unfortunate thing here is that we just see me and my heading back in the trajectory which many people anticipated when the coup happened that the military would tighten up and tighten up that blood would be shed and would disappear back into the abyss as the

international community just turned its back on it and that seems something that the military is entirely prepared to have tony chang in bangkok thank you for that update earlier we spoke to tom manders as the un special rapporteur on human rights in myanmar he says the u.n. security council needs to stand up for the people of myanmar. this is curity council of the united nations is there specifically for crises just like this and so it seems to me that the u.n. security council should take this up they should have a full blown discussion debate look at the facts and then let the members of the security council stand up and be counted on what they think needs to happen of course many think that there would be a veto likely and that may be so but i think it's important for members of the security council to stand up and be counted because that is their job if they can't do the job if they can't stand up to the people of me anymore then those countries

who are willing to stand by them could should have an emergency summit in which various strategies who are needing the various the variety the large variety of sanctions that are in place right there we need to coordinate them focus them make them work together to have the strongest possible punch against this military junta we need to put them before the international criminal court if at all possible that we need to cut off their supply of what their of the writing of steps of the world can take but they need to take these steps and all the condemnation of the world is not going to matter very much to the people of myanmar if they can't see the world standing up and acting for them as well as speaking out on behalf of this and particularly china has a direct interest here and we've heard from china expressions of concern call for the release of political prisoners expressions that this is not what they want to see these developments are not what they want to see so these are statements that

we have not heard in the past from china that we're now hearing so it seems to me that at the very least if we're putting this will for the security council china have it say let russia have it say let them stand up to be counted with or with the rest of the world. chile has begun to score on a virus lockdown as it tries to curb a rise in cases where an 80 percent of the population is under mandatory isolation the president says it's necessary to east pressure on the health care system about 40 percent of the population has been vaccinated more than in any other latin american nation in order to cure level you that we have restricted transit through drop downs and symmetry controls today more than 16000000 country and around the corner and we are fully aware of the difficulties and 2nd for us is that this measure means to july and families but to protect health to protect the lives of

brawling and other hazards and all that in the midst of a pandemic where mask usage and physical distance thing seems like an afterthought if that so we've had to implement measures we would prefer not to deploy but must the real metric that matters here is the state's reaction to covert 19 death rate per capita in florida places it 24th in the nation or right in the middle of a 30000 people have died and variants of covert 900 still pose a serious threat gov decided to spoil the policies have been vindicated some think it's too soon to say tourists are still flocking to the state driven in part by loose restrictions cheap flights and covert fatigue but economists say it may be years before the true cause. asked is known we have all the aleve ends that we were going to have our people knew this and this is part of the reason why they didn't come to florida for mostly brakes. on again you cannot really measure the
