you to do it is the winter because the river is lower than your in the summer months these tiny little yellow flakes you can see one don't look much they were around $50.00. think. the cockpit voice recorder from an air crash off indonesia nearly 3 months ago was recovered we are going to. i'm given al this is al jazeera live from doha also coming up. casualties of a battle intensifying by the day now ethnic armed groups are threatening to fight me in malls military. and airport attack in yemen that's being blamed on who the

rebels we hear why the obgyn projects the accusations. emotional testimony at the trial of a policeman accused of killing george floyd from an off duty firefighter who tried to step it. frustrated. yes. there's been a significant breakthrough in the investigation into why an indonesian passenger plane crashed nearly 3 months ago investigators have recovered the cockpit voice recorder the boeing 737 belonging to 3 giant air went down shortly after taking off from jakarta all 62 people on board were killed officials say it could take up to a week to listen to the recording jessica washington has more from jakarta. this is

a significant breakthrough an incredibly challenging circumstances for the teams involved in this search operation we know that early on in the search they were able to recover the beacon which is attached to this cockpit voice recorder they were also able to recover the casing what they found more difficult was recovering the recorder itself that was because of a number of factors including very difficult weather conditions heavy rains created a an additional layer of mud over the seabed in that particular search area off the java sea and that made it particularly difficult for divers to try and retrieve this device in the end authorities ended up resorting to a technology which they described as sort of a vacuum for the seabed they ended up absorbing a lot of that mud and having to comb through everything that they found and eventually today they were able to find that cockpit voice recorder they brought it out to tons of portions this is where the search operation has been coordinated for these past few months and we could sense that that sense of relief that finally we

may be one step closer to getting answers we did have the flight data recorder a few weeks ago we know that from the early findings of the investigation there was the sense that there was some technical difficulties including issues with the auto throttle now what we'll be able to hopefully realize is what exactly went wrong what was the pilot's responses true those technical difficulties and the u.n. security council is set to hold a closed door meeting on me and mole on wednesday the situation in the country is getting increasingly unstable. air and ground offensive against the current national liberation army in the southeast thousands of people have been displaced 3 other groups say they'll join what they're calling a revolution of the military doesn't stop killing civilians it means at least 6 ethnic groups of now threaten to retaliate against the jan to control regions mostly around me and. board is the cover and national liberation army is in and

around south east and current state the our economy is fighting for tony in western rakhine state 3 other groups control territory in the east from the shan state army in the south to the top on the national liberation army and me in ma national democratic alliance army and the far north the kitchen and independence army has also spoken out against the jumper and has reportedly attacked police and military posts in recent weeks major cities are here in the center of me and now with the military's concentrating its crackdown on civilian protests brian harding is work for the pentagon focusing on southeast asian policy and is now a senior expert at the u.s. institute of peace he says their lives between protesters and armed ethnic groups could bring down the military. it's pretty clear here the situation of being on mars deteriorated rapidly creating quite interesting bedfellows the military coup

in the reckless crack didn't really manage to unite some fractious groups in the country and this is a country that's been at war pretty much its entire existence but the ethnic groups recognize what it's plain to see for anybody watching the situation that the tatmadaw the military is on the ropes so the collectively all the our ethnic armed groups have about 75000. members and the military has about $300000.00 but the geography is such that ethnic groups that ring the periphery of the country and really would require some movements to towards that periphery which would mean that there weren't as many troops to police the city where there are the civil disobedience movement is really. the heart of the entire crew movement so this group create beatrice problems for the military but the backdrop here is that the ethnic armed groups who have been battling the top and offer decades have no faith that the top dog is a nonsmoker here they've been experiencing the very tactics that we're seeing on

t.v. today in cities of myanmar for decades in the regions that they control and contests in a lot of ways this is the military's her worst nightmare a true alliance between that and take who demonstrators politicians that won this election last month and ethnic on groups and you know i think we're just heading straight into a very chaotic situation which is bad for the country bad for it but there's got to be a point in which it breaks it's also about the neighborhood. india is concerned china's concern thailand's concern. and diplomatic as james bass tells us what we can expect from the u.n. security council later on wednesday. the security council has already issued 2 strong statements on the situation in myanmar but they've been ignored and the violence and killing has continued in the streets the secretary general of the united nations antonio terrace in recent days has issued fresh condemnation and has

called for united international action. we need more unity in the international community with more commitment the international community to put pressure in order to make sure that the situation is reversed what's your message to the generals right now. my message to the military is very simple stop the killings stop the repression of the demonstrations really is the political prisoners and return power to those that have the receipt of their rights to exercise it. saturday was the day with the highest death toll yet at least 114 people killed in 24 hours. saturday was also myanmar's armed forces day an event attended by representatives of 3 members of the security council china russia and vietnam all of which have a degree of leverage over the generals but russia's deputy ambassador to the u.n. told reporters his country is reluctant to consider further action including

sanctions we as you know russia is not the big fan on sanctions russia is not the units it matters and again i can say that there is a lot of cancer overseen there is it being willing young we made me see it one way but the reality is on the ground might be a little bit different and then you know. everybody would be quite cautious because we there is a variance in line. between. condemning and blaming and inciting war in general well joining the meeting the security council will be briefed by christine fran a burgen to the u.n. envoy for me on mars she wants to visit the region and to visit the country itself but so far she has not been granted permission. who the rebels are rejecting a u.n. report indicating bear responsibility for an attack on the airport in december which killed 20 people report contains evidence the missiles used were similar to

those in the movie arsenal and were fired from areas under their control the rebels say any findings submitted to the un security council a biased and lack credibility the attack on at an airport was seen as an escalation in the 6 year war that targeted members of president hardy's government as they landed to meet u.a.e. backed separatists after forming a unity government who these denied involvement and blame to the attack on saudi backed groups the saudi led coalition responded to the attacks with airstrikes on the who the held city of sanaa the following day. airport attack also prompted then u.s. secretary of state michael payer to designate the who these as a foreign terrorist organization that was reversed by the biden administration for more on this we're joined by procure the journalist hussein see in sana'a thank you for your time so the u.n. report strongly points the finger at the who these for this attack what's your response to that. i mean that ability to do this is still not over

reported released by the united nations still some leaks released. by some of our website that's why we cannot take it as a fact but as muhammad ali i hope he said yesterday that any conclusion or any report that come from the united nations security council with or without any independent. committee to verify those the result is a rejected on as well he said any facts that. this report. as he said feel debased he said they cannot be actually to through all that i just want to the thought of the attack on the border just maybe 3 to 5 days. out of him out of sight based in the united states. they have released this a report as it is just like what you say could be based there but to be honest who

is actually will benefit from the attack against the government of the so-called legitimacy of the it's only the united arab emirates and just days ago united arab emirates support for themselves in $75.00 have actually kicked out the government that's why they are actually the only one who are responsible benefit for this attack but i just i want to pick you up on that you just said that you just said that supporters of the southern transitional council kicked out the hardy government what do you mean by that are you talking about the day i think it was mid march where protesters went to the presidential palace and were peacefully pushed back is that is that what you're talking about. yes this exactly because you know i've been a minute i believe that they conducted that attack on an airport because the government actually they thought that the government will go but when the same plane back to saudi arabia that's why they they said used as so-called base.

test to kick out the government that's why they're out of the only side that will benefit from this type of attack but this they want to the world if let's say if this if it will it will be released over chile and if it really fact through what's said in that they bought i think the one who was responsible maybe for the whole he is behind this attack united out of iraq as well is that responsible because united arab emirates has actually used an airport as a base for that many military exercise that i get inside our forces in the north or against any other of the. opponent in the south of yemen like the muslim brotherhood ok there are clearly there is clearly what you never see in stores not here of which it's very clear there are 2 there are 2 narratives i understand i hear what you're saying coming back to this report it was delivered in a closed consultation at the u.n. on friday but russia blocked its wider rednecks why do you think that is.

i think this is one of the things that actually will make us think that this it was actually is is false because russia has been actually a bro. united states policy in yemen they have supported that would be to 16 resolution which involves the blockade they have as well supported the dissolution weeks ago that have actually condemned the whole with the advance against not have done so i didn't think that the russia would try to block any report or any resolution that is actually against the whole of the favor of. the idea and i just want to add one last point the same theme that has. released this report that is have said that same team has released a report 2 months ago about the corruption in central bank but after that they have taken that conclusion and they have of knowledge as to how the government that they have done a mistake that's why i believe those type of people actually by saudi arabia are

supported by the u.k. just to try to attack the whole thing to do damage that it with asian ok we'll have to leave it there thank you for your time pro who the journalist was saying in front of. yemen has received its 1st supplies of the cause of 19 vaccine unicef says it got 360000 doses through the international kovacs program it said to receive 1900000 doses this year humanitarian organizations say yemen's health care system has been crippled by the war so far the country has reported around 4000 factions but experts say the real number is much higher. still come here on al-jazeera lebannon expose a way to speed up its corner virus vaccination rollout it's only a fraction of the population has been fully inoculated so far.

beijing says the criticism is an attempt to politicize the pandemic. lebanon is looking to the private sector to help speed up its vaccination drive only a fraction of the population is fully inoculated and there are concerns that contract ing out vaccination distribution lead to nepotism and more benefit those who need it most so hard it has more from. this initiative is supposed to speed up the coronavirus vaccination campaign in lebanon the government is allowing private companies to import vaccines to make sure the country's collapsed economy stays open a good book for doing and i am so happy we are finally getting vaccinated because we work at the airport we are exposed to many people and we are on the front lines we are safe now for now vaccines can only be sold to companies unions institutions and n.g.o.s that are supposed to offer them to their employees and their families

for free but many say they are concerned lebanon is notorious for corruption and vaccines are sold in hard currency which few people now have the minimum monthly salary is worth $60.00. us in the divine years those who can afford it i don't $40.00 about seeing which means today live on on it is this sort of wives of the richest the poor will remain without vaccination officials disagree they say public health authorities and the private sector will work together the government or 'd the public money is very heavy in the bin and of course immunization campaign is costly at its very coarse defect. however if we can get the public sector involved then we can reduce the cost of the vaccination campaign we can. fix a nation can paint the nearly bankrupt government purchased vaccines using a loan from the world bank it also received help from the us program kovacs that

assists developing countries so far the amounts are limited the vaccination rollout is in week 7 but it's been slow at present day fewer than 10000 people are receiving a job so far only one percent of a population of an estimated 6000000 people have been fully vaccinated. the private sector may reduce pressure on the government but it's giving politicians leverage some are promising to secure vaccines for people in their electoral districts for free. is basically blocking off more. so. when the campaign was launched officials insisted everyone would have equal access to vaccines they are now being accused of by passing regulations designed to ensure that happens. set up for their beirut. and there's a sure sign that spring has sprung the u.s.
