10:02 am
skype from jakarta good to have you with us on the program who do you think is behind these attacks. it's very too early to say anything but you went to houston we all 'd indonesian terrorism is quite common there for many many years attack again churches especially during the whole speech in a day like easter or christmas easter done by radical groups who are striving to have they of indonesia it's been. often happened in the past how large is this problem or how. increased is the worry in the general public domain that these groups are given space to act in the way that they need to and then one wonders really where the authorities are of this issue well or
10:03 am
it because it happened again up so many years it hasn't happened it happened quite often maybe 20 or so years ago and then after that there has been quite a bit of better security but now it's happening again. a bit worrying for us because. it happened a lot during that time when we have afghan war and a lot of indonesian terrain in afghan war about bombing but after the end of the war there was should be no it but now it's start again so we award it later because of what happened in the city for instance in might be. connected to that church as a minority groups and their places of worship can offer to be seen as a soft target what of the authorities been doing in the. in the years that
10:04 am
have gone by to protect minority groups in what is a muslim majority country. well actually protection is quite standard in fact in many cases the church is rooting them up protected by muslim groups where you know somebody has to make certain is known as. one of the hotbed of radical islamists. so it's not. very surprising you winning game but it also means there in. indonesia their security was quite well because. it's not only happening in celebrity but also happening in joe island orange and also as a matter which is the what happens and who takes responsibility for this for the moment mr howe to marty thanks so much for joining us from jakarta all of your life
10:05 am
thank you. the pressure is building on me and miles military jointer global condemnation grows over its crackdown on protesters follows the bloodiest day since the army seized power nearly 2 months ago media is saying at least 114 people were killed in the latest reaction military chiefs from the u.s. and nearly a dozen allies issued a rare joint statement denouncing the emasculating forces saying they should be protecting and not harming the public tony chain is across the border in bangkok ern joins us live is monitoring events for us a tony you know it's the day after the bloodiest crackdown on to q. protesters and the realisation for those on the ground that it's not over in the urban or rural areas of the country. absolutely not and i think people are now looking back over what happened in the last 24 hours seeing the actions of the military and i think again we talked over
10:06 am
the last couple of weeks and heard over the last nearly 2 months now since the coup about the gradual increment of these tactics these harsher tactics have increased incivility well yesterday they increased again there's no hiding the soldiers in between the police anymore they're just coming out there's no hiding the automatic weapons in amongst the rubber bullets and those rifles they're just firing indiscriminate and we saw that out on the streets yesterday the funerals are now starting to take place all across. we've seen that in mandalay. this i think is an opportunity for people to come out and show some sort of protest a lot of the street protests haven't been taking place because people are planning to attend those funerals the security services as i understand it so far have backed off and that's something they have done in the last couple of weeks let those funerals go ahead unhindered but there are also 'd people working up to massive destruction in mandalay overnight there was a huge fire in the p.g.
10:07 am
township which destroyed 60 homes. people were trying to get in there to put these fires out and were being fired on by the security security services now people are trying to collect medicine food basic bedding clothing and shelter for those people they still can't get there because the security services are in the way and they're scared of going out into the streets again and i think that's an indication of how desperate the situation is getting and how bleak the outlook is for at least the next couple of weeks and of course that the world is focusing on the sub shape of form condemnation coming from defense chiefs from several countries and it will have any effect on the military considering they're ramping up their operation now against ethnic groups elsewhere in the country so it's another front really in the battle to maintain and control the public at large.
10:08 am
well the been simmering on the back burner for a little while but we saw a very clear manifestation of that yesterday when the miramar air force sent jets to bomb a village very close to the border with thailand village that's in the k n u korean national union area and that is a potential flashpoint further up in shan state there was talk yesterday from one of the ethnic armed groups there that they would start to fight back to this violence against people must stop. but i think also we saw yesterday all sorts of statements from ambassadors based in myanmar from the u.s. secretary of state who called the actions of the the minimum army and military horrendous and a collective joint statement from 12 defense secretaries from countries like the united states south korea and japan which is very clearly aimed to be delivered on
10:09 am
armed forces day but again we saw. the head the head of the military don't. lie. to host a banquet in honor of armed forces he was full of smiles were his guests at one point apparently they flew up a series of drones the portrayed his face in the sky above so he doesn't seem apologetic he doesn't even seem to be taking this particularly serious and i think this is the great concern and has been since the coup that it would send me and mark down a path which it has been on in the past which is to pretty much international isolation and we've seen that process starting condemnation from around the world but the army just doesn't seem to be listening and seems to be prepared to pay that price of isolation if it can gain complete control of the country of course will continue to build to what happens through the day with you tony chamber force a bug.

units in most states near or at full capacity or life brazil's state governments in the us have considered a considerable autonomy in dealing with the pandemic florida's republican governor faced criticism for refusing to shut down the economy or make it compulsory to wear masks now he says the state's economy is booming and his approach was right all along and the gallagher reports now from miami. businesses shouted deserted streets and strict measures in tackling a global pandemic for most states in the u.s. these are familiar scenes but in florida it's a different picture there have been no statewide code restrictions for more than 6 months with restaurants and beaches open at full capacity republican governor ronda santa says his decisions which critics accuse of flying in the face of science based advice were right we actually have people opening new businesses here we actually have people hiring people our employment rates much less than the national average in way less than

a lot of the walk down states like california new york today though we did we can build off this momentum that momentum is obvious in places like miami where tech finance companies and restaurants and relocating unemployment here is also lower than states like new york and california but encouraging people to come to florida has consequences 0 7. the authorities in miami beach put a coup few in place after thousands of revelers many masculists flocked to beaches and bars the unusual move came after officials decided spring break crowds posed a serious risk to public health and security there has been gun play open 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
